The body’s natural aging process causes the skin to become thinner and less elastic. This goes not only for the skin on the face but also for the skin on the neck. So, if you’re noticing lines and wrinkles appearing on your neck, you’re not alone. But, with the help of the longstanding injectable Radiesse, it’s possible to safely and effectively eliminate neck lines. 

What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is an injectable treatment that’s been FDA-approved since 2007. Its main ingredient is calcium hydroxylapatite or CaHA. CaHA provides immediate contouring after the treatment and lasting collagen and elastin production. Since the Radiesse formula stimulates the production of these essential proteins, it leads to tighter, stronger, and more elastic skin long after the initial injection.   Continue reading “Improve Your Neck Lines with Radiesse” →
