Evolution Of Fillers: Collagen To Radiesse

Collagen was the first filler, and I had used that back in 03 and 04. That was the only game in town. Was actually a nicer filler to use. It was easier to use in my hands. However, it would break down in weeks. So we did abandon that. And then Radiesse is a popular filler is made out of something that would be akin to a bone paste, like that. Now, that case, it's 70% of the bone paste and 30% of a carrier. So we lose a carrier. But we're seeing with the calcium hydroxy appetite or Radiesse, is that when you inject it into an area that needs, let's say, where there's some loss of bone chin, the cheekbone. These are areas where we don't have much concern about reversibility because there's not critical arteries in those regions. It does turn into your own body's tissue. And it's known to last several years.
