2. Introduction
As a physician at Advanced Women’s Health
Center in Bakersfield, California, Dr. Jason
Helliwell provides his patients with the full
range of obstetric and gynecological services,
including surgical and conservative cosmetic
treatments. Dr. Jason Helliwell sees many
patients who want to erase facial lines with
dermal fillers like Radiesse.
3. About Radiesse
A unique dermal filler, Radiesse works in two
ways. Once injected into the skin, the calciumbased filler immediately plumps wrinkles and
restores volume to the treatment area.
Working as a scaffolding, Radiesse helps the
skin maintain this level of fullness until the filler
stimulates the skin to produce more of its own
natural collagen. Over time, the filler is
absorbed by the body, leaving behind only the
natural collagen that it helped produce.
Results from a single treatment session can
last a year or longer.
4. Conclusion
Radiesse is used only on the lower portion of
the face. It is employed to minimize the smile
lines that run from the nose to the mouth, the
marionette lines that extend from the corners
of the mouth to the chin, and jowls that sag on
both sides of the chin.
