FACIAL TREATMENT
LINES AROUND THE MOUTH FILLER IN WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA
Radiesse is a dermal filler that is used for smoothing moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (the creases that extend from the corner of your nose to the corner of your mouth). Radiesse injections are also used for correcting volume loss in the back of the hands. It stimulates your body’s natural collagen, filling in wrinkles long term and helping your skin develop new collagen in the process.
The Radiesse filler can dramatically transform your face as it can also be used in cheek enhancement, chin reshaping, lip augmentation, and hand rejuvenation. What is even more impressive about Radiesse injection is the fact that the treatment is not for cosmetic purposes only. It can also be used to treat those who suffer from vocal chord insufficiency and those with mouth or jaw defects.

Its main component is calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. The calcium in these microspheres is the same kind of calcium produced by our body, found in our bones.
