Radiesse
Consultations offered at our four convenient locations in Pomona, Beverly Hills, Rancho Cucamonga and Apple Valley, CA
Radiesse is an injectable treatment that addresses facial lines and eliminates nasolabial folds (“smile lines”), which form around the nose and mouth area. This safe and non-surgical procedure effectively adds definition above the cheekbones and corrects deep wrinkles.
About
Radiesse works by stimulating the production of collagen below the skin’s surface to restore facial volume. A safe and effective alternative to surgery, Radiesse uses cutting-edge Microsphere Technology that produces a scaffold around which new skin tissue develops. This technique reverses the signs of aging and rejuvenates facial appearance.
