Radiesse is a cosmetic dermal filler that restores facial volume and fullness to the skin to correct facial wrinkles and folds. Commonly uses include reducing the depth of the parenthesis lines around the mouth, and restoring the cheeks to make them fuller. Radiesse is a gel form of calcium hydroxyapatite, natural body product. It is thicker than either JUVÉDERM® or Restylane and therefore lasts longer than either of these products. Because it is thicker, however, there is a higher potential for feeling the material.

• Reduce the depth of the parenthesis lines around the mouth
• Reduce the fine lines of the upper lip

• Contour the nasal shape in the one-hour rhinoplasty procedure

Radiesse has been used in over 2 million treatments in over 60 countries. It is often used in conjunction with Botox to provide a nonsurgical cosmetic make-over of Dr. Chang’s patients. The product lasts on average about 1-2 years.
