■ Radiesse is the next generation of dermal fillers that is setting a new standard for the softening of grooves and folds in the skin, it is also used to create profound cheekbones and correct the contours of your skin and jaw line.

■ It is made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. These micro spheres once injected provide scaffolding, into which new collagen that is formed by the body, migrates and grows into. The gel dissolves within 8 weeks; subsequently the calcium micro spheres gradually break down over time and are completely metabolized by the body, leaving only the new collagen structure, creating a natural beautiful look.
