Radiesse Injections

At Marotta Plastic Surgery Specialists on Long Island, we are proud to offer Radiesse injections among our many non-invasive facial treatments.

Radiesse is an injectable implant that is used to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth or to improve facial contours that have altered with age. It is one of the best non-surgical forms of facial rejuvenation available today and is capable of producing a remarkable improvement in your appearance with no downtime.

What Is Radiesse and How Does It Work?

Radiesse consists of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel carrier (made of water, glycerin and carboxymethylcellulose).

Calcium hydroxylapatite is a mineral component of bone and has been used by Long Island plastic surgeons in the repair of both hard and soft tissue for many years.

Radiesse is a soft substance and is completely biodegradable, and its effects of Radiesse last about a year.

What to Expect During Your Radiesse Treatment

During your treatment with Radiesse Long Island injectables expert, Dr. Marotta will inject the designated area with a very fine needle. Topical anesthetics, ice, or local anesthetics can be used to make sure you feel minimal discomfort.
