Why is KLS excited to carry RADIESSE®?
KLS is excited to offer RADIESSE® to our clients as it is the ONLY filler that stimulates collagen and elastin production!
What is RADIESSE® & Who is it for?
RADIESSE® treatments are a good choice for clients 18 years of age or older that have signs of volume loss in the temples, cheeks, jaw and chin. RADIESSE® is also a great choice for boosting collagen and elastin in the hands as we age. RADIESSE® is a dermal filler developed by Merz Pharmaceuticals. RADIESSE® is made of Calcium Hydroxylapetite. RADIESSE® replaces lost volume in the face, and smooths wrinkles restoring balance to the face.
What is the difference between RADIESSE® and traditional HA filler?
RADIESSE® stimulates your body’s natural collagen, filling in wrinkles long term and helping your skin develop new collagen in the process. RADIESSE® filler is made of Calcium Hydroxylapetite (CaHA) microspheres. Traditional hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are also great at replacing volume but they do not stimulate your body to produce more collagen and elastin where they are injected. HA filler usually lasts 6-12 months and RADIESSE® lasts 12-18 months.
