What is Radiesse®?

Radiesse® is an injectable that has been approved by the FDA as a way to increase or return lost facial volume. For many people, this product has served as a virtual life changer. This is because the loss of facial volume is the biggest factor in why we look older as we age.

The way that the face ages is an amazing thing. It is a process that encompasses not just our skin, but also the way our soft tissue and bone structure work together. Recently, researchers have been putting a lot of focus on how facial volume loss and soft tissue degradation take place over the aging process.

As a result of epidermal thinning and a reduction in collagen production, our skin starts to lose its elasticity. At the same time, our face loses fat. And if that was not enough, gravity is pulling on our face. It’s pulling our muscles down and is causing excess skin to collect at our jowls. The result is that our face begins to show signs of wrinkles, be they static or dynamic.

The same drooping effect takes place on the facial bones as a result of gravity. Our bones actually lose volume as we age. So when you put the loss of bone volume and the loss of soft tissue volume together, you are left with the structural change in the face that leads to the overall facial features that are associated with aging.

Radiesse® has come on the scene as a result of intense interest on the part of cosmetic surgeons in understanding what they can do to help a person regain or maintain their facial volume. This product has been developed in an environment where the stigma associated with aging has driven more people to want to do something to either slow down or reverse the aging process by addressing the loss of facial volume.


Now, people do not want to grow old gracefully. They just want to look graceful without the growing old part. Radiesse® has been an answer to the prayer of these individuals. Radiesse® restores facial volume, thereby preventing gravity and sagging in the facial structures. It prevents the exaggerated lengthening of the skin that takes place as a result of gravity’s pull on the facial structures when the facial volume has diminished.

Since the use of Radiesse® encourages collagen production when a person has Radiesse® treatments, they will not only be left with a fuller face, but they will also start to notice that their skin looks healthier. Their skin becomes more elastic and is better able to hold onto moisture. All of these things enhance a person’s appearance.

Of course, there is absolutely no treatment that can completely turn back the clock. There is no treatment that can make a 40-year-old individual look like they are 19. However, what Radiesse® does is make a person look like the absolute best version of themselves possible. It gives a person the confidence that they need to be happy with their appearance. They are happy with what they see in the mirror, and this happiness and confidence radiate in their interactions with others.
