Radiesse^® is a dermal filler that is indicated for hand augmentation to correct volume loss in the back of the hands and for smoothing moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds.

Radiesse^® is comprised of Calcium Hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in an aqueous gel carrier. At the time of injection, Radiesse^® provides immediate volume by plumping the soft tissue but also continues to work by stimulating the body to produce its own natural collagen. The results have been shown to last a year or longer.

Some facial lines and wrinkles form as a result of muscle activity, not loss of volume. If you have these types of wrinkles, Dr. Sato might recommend BOTOX^® Cosmetic or Dysport^® injections in conjunction with the dermal filler.
