Restore Volume. Stimulate Collagen. Achieve Natural-Looking Rejuvenation.
At Novel U Wellness & Med Spa in Long Beach, California, we offer RADIESSE® and RADIESSE® (+) treatments to restore youthful facial contours, improve skin quality, and stimulate your body’s natural collagen production.
Additionally, unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers that primarily replace lost volume, RADIESSE® is a collagen biostimulator that provides immediate improvement while encouraging long-term collagen and elastin formation.
RADIESSE® is the first and only FDA-approved injectable biostimulator for the décolleté (chest) in adults 22 years and older and is also FDA-approved for correction of volume loss in the hands, smoothing facial wrinkles and folds, and improving jawline contour (RADIESSE® (+)).
Finally, whether you’re concerned about facial aging, sagging skin, crepey chest wrinkles, aging hands, or loss of jawline definition, our experienced physician will create a customized treatment plan designed to help you achieve natural, refreshed results.
What Is RADIESSE®?
RADIESSE® is an injectable dermal filler composed of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel carrier. After treatment:
- Immediate volume correction is visible.
- The gel carrier is gradually absorbed.
- The CaHA microspheres stimulate your body’s natural collagen and elastin production.
- Newly formed collagen helps improve skin firmness, structure, and elasticity over time.
RADIESSE® (+) contains lidocaine for additional comfort during treatment.
