Collagen is key
Collagen is a substance made by the body to keep the skin firm and elastic. Age and repeated sun exposure decrease the amount of collagen. The skin then loses its original elasticity and wrinkles appear. Most fillers in aesthetic medicine, such as Radiesse by Merz is a collagen and elastin booster filler that reduces medium to deep wrinkles, brings a lifting effect to the skin and redraws the contours of the face. This treatment temporarily replaces our lost collagen.

Benefits
Radiesse is a tissue inducer, so it stimulates the production of our own collagen by increasing its quantity. It is a versatile product for smoothing, vertical lifting and reshaping of facial contours as well as skin rejuvenation.
Even if the improvement is immediately visible after the injection, this action will be visible over the following weeks by the phenomenon of stimulation of the production of collagen and elastic fibers. This will give you a visible and natural boost to your face, without excess volume.
NUMBER OF TREATMENTS
Everyone's need vary, therefore the number of sessions will be evaluated during a consultation.
Radiesse is a slowly absorbable treatment and biodegradable. It is more durable than hyaluronic acid thanks to its double tissue induction (collagen and elastin). The duration of the effects is approximately 2 years and it is naturally eliminated by the organism.
Price
Starting at 750$ per syringe
Intervention
First, the injection immediately restores volume to the treated areas. The filler will then slowly resorb until it disappears completely after 4 months. The process boosts the fibroblasts responsible for the synthesis of collagen and elastin, thus restoring volumes.
Over time, Radiesse stimulates the body's natural production of collagen, which has the effect of increasing the skin's firmness and boosting its elasticity. It is a product whose effect is natural and more lasting than some hyaluronic acids. The effect of Radiesse lasts between 12 and 18 months after the injection. They can sometimes even last longer, but this will also depend on your lifestyle.
SIDE EFFECTS
Following the procedure, superficial redness and bruising may appear at the injection sites, or also small bumps, tenderness, pain, swelling or slight numbness. These side effects last an average of 2 to 15 days. Activities can be resumed instantaneously.
