What is Radiesse?
Radiesse is the first and only FDA-approved CaHA that provides immediate contouring plus the stimulation of collagen and elastin production. Most dermal fillers are made with a substance called hyaluronic acid (HA) which is used strictly as a facial filler. However, Radiesse is made with Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) which provides the benefits of a facial filler plus the benefits of stimulating collagen production.
Collagen is one of the most essential components of firm and healthy skin. So, what sets Radiesse apart from HA fillers is the calcium hydroxylapatite solution in Radiesse helps your body produce more collagen for results that only get better over time. This means treatment with Radiesse will continue to work after your initial procedure is over.
LaVida specializes in a newer and highly effective use for Radiesse – the technique of hypderdilution. When diluted and injected superficially, Radiesse acts as an extremely effective collagen stimulating agent. The Hyperdilute Radiesse technique combines the filler with saline and lidocaine, thinning the consistency and increasing the volume of product. The Hyperdilute Radiesse is then injected into the desired area through a thin cannula. This treatment is a favorable alternative to surgical intervention such as facelift or neck and décolleté lift.
This unique filler is also highly effective at restoring fullness to the hands! The aging process can be especially noticeable in the hands, as skin becomes lax and wrinkled with time. Radiesse can help recover lost smoothness and significantly add volume to the area.
