Radiesse, a dermal filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier, has emerged as a valuable tool in aesthetic medicine. Its properties lend themselves well to enhancing the definition of the lower face, a region that significantly contributes to overall facial harmony and perceived attractiveness.
The effectiveness of this particular filler stems from its dual-action mechanism. Immediately upon injection, the gel provides volume, creating an instant lifting and contouring effect. More significantly, the CaHA microspheres stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. This neocollagenesis results in a gradual improvement in skin firmness and elasticity, providing a longer-lasting and more natural-looking result than fillers that simply add volume. Historically, achieving this level of structural support and long-term benefit required more invasive surgical procedures.
