The second is gradual, as the calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres act as a scaffold that stimulates fibroblasts to produce natural collagen, so the result improves over time and looks natural. The gel is later absorbed and the microspheres are biodegraded.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"uses\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uses_of_Radiesse\"><\/span>Uses of Radiesse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>the filler<\/strong> is used to contour facial features and define the cheeks, jaw and chin, fill moderate-to-deep folds and wrinkles such as the nasolabial folds, and rejuvenate the back of the hands.
