About Dermal Filler Radiesse Treatment Services in Los Angeles: Due to the natural effects of aging, the skin’s elastin and collagen begins to decrease. Unfortunately, this causes one’s youthful glow and suppleness to disappear. For those wanting to banish unwanted creases and wrinkles, Radiesse filler is here to save the day.
What is Radiesse Filler?
Created from a natural mineral, Radiesse dermal filler is one of the best anti-aging treatments currently available. It’s made up of microscopic spheres of calcium hydroxylapatite. Injected directly into the skin, the microspheres are held within the gel.
What Does Radiesse Do?
The calcium hydroxylapatite in Radiesse injections is a synthetic form of the same material naturally occurring in your bones. The spheres create a frame, filling wrinkles while allowing your collagen to grow around the spheres. Eventually, the Radiesse injection is processed out of your body, but the supportive collagen remains. After entering the skin, this dermal filler smooths out wrinkles and encourages the skin to start producing a higher amount of collagen again. Its effects help to diminish the appearance of lines and facial folds.
Radiesse treatment is able to give excellent results for the following:
- Non-surgical chin augmentation
- Under eye wrinkles and dark circles
- Non-surgical cheek lift
- Non-surgical nose job
- Mild to moderate jowls
- Nasolabial folds and laugh lines
Who is a Good Candidate for Radiesse?
For those with facial volume loss or poorly defined cheekbones, Radiesse is a great choice. While facial volume loss is due to age, many people are not born with the gift of defined cheekbones. It is also used for augmentation of the chin, temples or jaw, as well as the nasolabial folds and other areas of the lower face. Overall, it is a a great product for a range of issues. It can also be used on all ages, although those with a greater volume loss with usually need a higher concentration of Radiesse. For those who want to avoid surgery, this an efficient and affordable way to go.

Radiesse Treatment FAQ
How long does Radiesse treatment take?
During the Radiesse injection treatment, a topical anesthetic is first applied to the target areas to avoid discomfort. Next, an ultra-fine needle is used to inject the filler just beneath the skin. This treatment is a short and simple process that takes approximately 20 minutes. The results are seen immediately.
Where can Radiesse be injected?
