You do not have to be a teenager to suffer from acne. While acne typically appears during puberty, over 50% of adult men and women 30 years of age or older, suffer from acne. So pharmacy shelves are overflowing with acne remedies, celebrities are promoting acne treatments on TV, and there are various supplements, diets and home remedies to wipe out those ugly blemishes dotting your skin. But most acne treatments only treat the symptoms of acne instead of its underlying cause, leaving many suffering with reoccurring acne.

Bacteria, clogged pores, chocolate and oily foods have all been claimed to cause acne, but new medical findings have proven that it is our hormones that are the underlying cause. Androgens, which are produced by both men and women, play an important role in the development of acne and the most important androgen in this process is a by-product of testosterone called DHT (Dihydro-Testosterone).

According to a new Radiesse "Face of Beauty" survey, over 22 million women aged 35 and older who have not used a cosmetic filler would be more likely to use an injectable filler for facial wrinkles if it were proven safe, more affordable, longer-lasting and stimulated the body's growth of collagen -- the key attributes of next- generation Radiesse(1). These findings are based on a Harris Interactive® poll of 807 women undertaken late last year and conducted on behalf of BioForm Medical, Inc., the makers of Radiesse(2).

Radiesse is the first cosmetic filler with advanced calcium-based microsphere technology that has a proven one year benefit and safety profile on par with collagen. It was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.
