Radiesse®

in Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Radiesse® is a wrinkle filler used to add volume to the skin over time. It is comprised of Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. Once Radiesse® is injected, it provides immediate volume but continues to work by stimulating the body to produce its own natural collagen. Over time, the gel is absorbed by the body, leaving behind only your own natural collagen.
