Radiesse™ is a synthetic injectable filler that reduces wrinkles, creases and scars by augmenting the body’s natural collagen supply. Composed of microspheres in a biocompatible gel, Radiesse is made from the same minerals found in our bones, so it carries little risk of allergic reaction. Radiesse can be used on many areas of the body, including the lips, nasolabial folds, peri-oral lines, depressed scars and oral commissures.  Treatments typically take 15 minutes and require  only local anesthetic. Side effects such as swelling or bruising are minimal and should fade within a few  days. Results are visible immediately after the injection and can last for months or years, although the procedure can be repeated as often as you wish.
