For two decades, Radiesse has provided patients with an effective, natural-looking solution to facial aging, specifically in areas that benefit from deeper augmentation.
Radiesse works by providing instant volume beneath your skin and stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. The filler is composed of calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) gel microspheres. While the gel provides the instant volume you want, the CaHA helps your body create new collagen over time, essentially creating a natural filler from within.
Eventually, your body will absorb the CaHA, and the natural collagen will remain in place. Your youthful results can last up to 18 months, at which point you’ll need a maintenance visit.
At Mehta Plastic Surgery, we offer both Radiesse and Juvéderm to our patients. They are two of our most popular fillers and can help with a wide range of aesthetic concerns. Both produce subtle results and are FDA-approved. Radiesse can last up to 18 months, similar to Juvéderm.
In general, the right filler for you will depend on your goals. If you want to treat your lips and undereye areas, we will likely recommend Juvéderm. If you’re more concerned with loss of volume around your chin, jawline, cheekbones, temples, and hands, Radiesse in Palo Alto at Mehta Plastic Surgery may be in your best interest. In some cases, we’ll use both fillers simultaneously for a comprehensive transformation.
