As a dermal filler, Radiesse has been around for many years – approved by the FDA in 2006 to treat nasolabial folds and other areas of the face by restoring lost volume and correcting facial wrinkles, and is frequently used to rejuvenate the face and hands. Now, however, dermatologists are also using Radiesse in a unique way – thinning it out and diluting it with saline or lidocaine (thinning it out makes it more spreadable to treat larger areas) and injecting it more superficially into areas where the skin is showing signs of sagging and/or looseness. Hyperdilute Radiesse can not only be used on the face but on the neck, chest, arms, abdomen, legs and buttocks.
