Los Angeles Radiesse

<<Back to Previous Page

Radiesse is FDA approved to safely correct wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth. It lasts longer than many of the popular fillers on the market, which means fewer injections and office visits. Radiesse has also been reported to stimulate the skin to produce new collagen. Best of all, treatment can be done over a lunch hour. Radiesse is made of unique calcium-based microspheres that are suspended in a natural gel that is injected into the skin through a simple, safe and minimally invasive procedure.

Occasionally we run specials on injectables and send them out to our e-newsletter subscribers. Please note that while some offices require you to purchase it separately, Sunset provides numbing cream and/or numbing injections FREE OF CHARGE for all injectable treatments.

Collagen is a naturally-occuring substance within the skin that keeps it looking youthful and healthy. Over time, the body’s natural supply of collagen begins to break down, which causes skin to lose some of its volume and flexibility. This is a major cause of the wrinkles and facial lines that make the skin appear older and worn. Radiesse is a safe, long lasting wrinkle filler treatment.

What is collagen?
Collagen is a naturally occurring protein in the human body. In the facial area, collagen’s function is to provide structure, volume and elasticity to the skin. This creates a healthy, youthful appearance. As a natural part of the aging process, collagen in the face begins to break down, causing skin to lose some of its former volume and structure.

What is Radiesse?
Radiesse is an injectable wrinkle filler used to smooth out wrinkles and restore volume to the face.

What kind of results can be expected?
After the procedure, most will see immediate results that last up to a year for many patients. More than just an instant wrinkle filler, Radiesse works to promote the body's natural volumizing process through the stimulation of collagen.

Where can Radiesse be used?
Radiesse is FDA approved to smooth facial wrinkles in lines. Radiesse is often used to treat the following problems: Smile lines (reases that run from your nose, to the corner of your mouth), marionette lines (lines that run downward from the corner of your mouth that create the illusion of frowning), and pre-jowl (either side of chin).

Is Radiesse safe?
Radiesse has been approved by the FDA to treat moderate to severe wrinkling in the face. Radiesse is also non-toxic and biocompatible.
