Radiesse is an injectable implant used to fill facial lines and correct nasolabial folds (“smile lines”) that form around the nose and mouth area. In recent years, this non-surgical procedure has been widely adopted to add definition above the cheekbones and treat deep wrinkles.

How Does Radiesse Work?
Radiesse distinguishes itself from other fillers by producing long-lasting results that will remain in effect for at least one to two years. Dr. Michael Omidi uses this procedure to stimulate the production of collagen below the skin’s surface to restore facial volume. An effective alternative to surgical intervention, Radiesse utilizes cutting-edge Microsphere Technology that creates a scaffold around which new skin tissue develops. This technique reverses the signs of aging and rejuvenates facial appearance.
