Vancouver Radiesse Treatments Lower Mainland
Radiesse ® is an injectable filler designed for filling wrinkles and folds around the mouth and nose (nasolabial folds, marionette lines, smile lines).

Radiesse is also approved for the the restoration and correction of facial fat loss and facial wasting (facial lipoatrophy) in people with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus).
How Radiesse Works
Radiesse is not just a facial filler. Radiesse stimulates the generation of new collagen Collagen: a fibrous protein that connects and supports other bodily tissues, such as skin, bone, tendons, muscles. Collagen provides firmness and strength , restoring elasticity and youthfulness to the skin, rebuilding the skin's foundation. Radiesse is made of smooth calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) CaHA: the principal inorganic constituent in human bones and teeth. CaHA in Radiesse is a biocompatible, biodegradable, and identical to naturally occuring CaHA . Radiesse initially performs as a filler, then, after several months, collagen begins to surround CaHA particles, building a "scaffolding", a strong structure that allows for longer term enhancement. After 2 or 3 years, CaHA particles safely degrade and are metabolized by the body.
