Indications for Radiesse®
Wrinkles or folds along the sides of the nose and mouth- nasalabial folds, verticle lip lines, corners of the mouth.
Surgery
The technique involves injection of a smooth consistency gel under the skin to fill in and smooth the wrinkles and folds, bringing the sunken skin back to the surface. The results are instant and natural looking. Radiesse has also been proven to stimulate your body to produce new collagen.

Risks
