FDA Approvals of Next-Generation Dermal Fillers for Treatment of Facial Wrinkles and Folds: Radiesse and Juvederm
A longer-lasting cosmetic filler called Radiesse has been approved by the FDA and is now available at ASA for the treatment of facial wrinkles and folds, such as the nasolabial folds. Radiesse has advanced calcium-based microsphere technology that both restores volume and promotes the growth of the body's own collagen. We are excited about this next-generation product and its long-term cosmetic benefits as yet another Dermal Filler option for our patients. Dr. Simon agrees: "Radiesse is an excellent option for treating deeper folds, such as the nasolabial folds ("smile lines"), and deep wrinkles. It also lasts longer than some other fillers, which means coming in for injections less often."We are very excited to offer these cutting-edge products to our patients!
