Radiesse For Men

April 18, 2018

Imagine young-looking, wrinkle-free skin. For male patients with well-defined wrinkles or creases, such as the fold between their nose and mouth (nasolabial folds), injectable fillers are a simple, effective solution. Radiesse for men is a safe, long-lasting, natural solution. Radiesse for men is the first calcium hydroxylapatite injectable cohesive implant used for soft tissue augmentation. Over the years, it has proven to be a safe and effective alternative for those male patients wishing to avoid the potential side effects of bovine and solid implant materials.

How does Radiesse for men work?

Radiesse for men consists of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a biocompatible cellulose gel. Initially, it acts as a dermal filler, adding volume beneath the skin. After about 3 months, the microspheres in Radiesse for men form a “scaffold” to support and stimulate the growth of your own collagen to create a natural, full, youthful look. Radiesse does more than just temporarily fill in facial lines and wrinkles (it rebuilds your skin’s foundation, without the risks associated with permanent fillers).

What areas can be treated with Radiesse for men?

By supplementing your skin’s own depleted collagen, Radiesse for men is a safe, effective, time-tested, non-surgical wrinkle treatment that provides immediate results. Our male patients choose these treatments for variety of reasons, including improving:

Creases that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds)

Depressed scars

Marionette lines (oral commissures)

Cheek augmentation

Chin augmentation
