Fillers plump skin on the face or hands which has lost volume to the aging process. Filler materials range from body fat and collagen to natural acids to synthetic materials and are generally offered on an outpatient basis under local anethesia.

Radiesse is a non-toxic, non-allergenic synthetic injectable filler which is usually delivered in the doctor's office under local anesthesia. Patients may experience a little discomfort, swelling or bruising from the needle injection. Results are fully evident within about one week and can last for up to two years with touchups. Complications are rare.
