Radiesse is less gel-like than other fillers used for wrinkle treatment. It’s thicker and great to use for smile lines and chin and cheek augmentation. You can place this product near the bone. It can last up to a year or two.

It’s made out of calcium hydroxyapetite, which is much different than a hyaluronic acid (Perlane, Restylane, Juvederm). Radiesse can produce nodules more easily and is not used for lips.
