Radiesse in South Portland, Maine
Radiesse is different from traditional hyaluronic acid fillers. Rather than simply adding volume, Radiesse works as a biostimulator, supporting your body's natural collagen production over time.
At MOTOX, we'll assess your anatomy, skin quality and goals to determine whether Radiesse is the right treatment for you.
How Does Radiesse Work?
Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. The gel can provide immediate volume, while the CaHA component supports collagen production over time.
Results develop gradually as your skin responds to treatment, with the duration of results varying by treatment area, amount used and individual patient.
What Can Radiesse Treat?
Radiesse may be used to improve:
- Facial volume loss
- Skin firmness and laxity
- Jawline definition
- Loss of definition in the lower face
- The appearance of wrinkles and folds
- Volume loss in the hands
Radiesse may also be diluted for certain skin-quality and firmness applications. Your provider will determine the appropriate treatment approach during your consultation
Why Choose Radiesse?
Radiesse offers both immediate volume and longer-term collagen stimulation, making it an option for patients looking to improve facial structure and skin quality over time.
At MOTOX, the goal is a natural-looking result that works with your existing facial structure rather than changing your appearance.
