Radiesse

Radiesse is a unique dermal filler used at Promethean Clinic™ for its dual action of immediate volumizing and long-term collagen stimulation. Composed of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a water-based gel, Radiesse is injected under the skin to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, and chin wrinkles. Additionally, Radiesse is used for enhancing facial contours and correcting volume loss in the back of the hands.

BENEFITS

  • Immediate and Long-lasting Results: Radiesse provides immediate volume and correction but continues to work by stimulating the body to produce its own natural collagen for long-lasting effects.
  • Versatility: It can be used to treat a range of areas including the face and hands, enhancing contours and correcting volume loss.
  • Natural-Looking Results: The results are natural-looking, enhancing facial features subtly without the risk of over-correction.
  • Minimal Downtime: The procedure involves minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily routines shortly after treatment.
  • Promotes Collagen Production: Over time, Radiesse stimulates the body’s natural collagen synthesis, improving the overall health and elasticity of the skin.

Pre-Treatment Care Instructions
