Radiesse and Juvederm are safe and natural cosmetic dermal fillers that restore volume and fullness to the skin to correct facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, cheek bones and lips.
Juvederm is a cosmetic dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the human body. The hyaluronic acid in Juvederm is a crystal-clear gel called NASHA™ (Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid) which is completely biocompatible with human hyaluronic acid. Juvederm maintains its shape using the body's own moisture. The hyaluronic acid in Juvederm is hydrophilic or "water loving." As hyaluronic acid gradually degrades, each molecule binds to more water and over time, the same volume can be maintained with less hyaluronic acid. This ability of hyaluronic acid to bind to water is what helps provide lasting results.
Radiesse uses calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. Once injected, the process of collagenesis starts as Radiesse wrinkle filler works below your skin's surface to stimulate the production of your own collagen, which replenishes lost facial volume to smooth out the signs of aging.
Both products give you a natural and yourthful look immediately. After a treatment, patients might have some redness or swelling. This will normally last less than seven days. Sunbathing and cold outdoor activities should be avoided until any redness or swelling disappear. If patients are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under 18, you should not use Radiesse or Juvederm.
