Radiesse

Radiesse – What is it?
Whether you’re longing to reverse the common signs of aging or address a health issue that otherwise would require an invasive treatment, you have more options in looking and feeling better with Radiesse™.Developed with safety and longevity in mind, Radiesse is a new generation injectable filler that offers superior versatility for both cosmetic and reconstructive use without surgery. What sets Radiesse apart from other dermal fillers? The answer is in its durability, longevity, and versatility. The unique composition of Radiesse provides immediate visual improvement common with other fillers, along with the benefit of long-lasting results. This is because Radiesse is made of very tiny, smooth calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. The microspheres (particles) form a scaffold through which your body’s own collagengrows, and this produces the desired long-term effect. These unique advantages make Radiesse the ideal choice for facial shaping and contouring.

Radiesse’s Advantages
When you compare Radiesse™ to other soft tissue fillers used for facial contouring, you’ll find that there really is no comparison to the safety, effectiveness, versatility, and long-lasting results that Radiesse has to offer.

Used to restore and reshape obvious signs of facial aging, Radiesse does more than other fillers that simply chase wrinkles. Its unique contouring ability allows physicians to treat large areas of the face in one procedure. For the first three months after injection, Radiesse initially performs as a filler substance by plumping up the skin. Then thanks to its collagengenerating properties, Radiesse actually stimulates new tissue development for extended correction for up to 12 to 24 months.

For facial contouring, Radiesse can be used for:
Nasolabial Folds
Marionette lines
Cheek augmentation
Non-surgical rhinoplasty
Jaw line
Chin augmentation

No matter what procedure you’re considering, Radiesse offers unmatched versatility and years of extensive research and testing to prove its safety and effectiveness. Any form of facial contouring with Radiesse is performed as a non-surgical, minimally invasive out-patient procedure in a physician’s office.

Results are immediate and only require one or two long-lasting treatments, which means Radiesse is also cost-effective – saving you time and money. And while treatment results may vary, results typically last months longer with Radiesse compared to other fillers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it hurt?
Patient reactions vary, so injections of ANY filler may be accompanied by either a topical or injectable anesthetic. Please consult with your physician for more information.

How long will Radiesse™ last?
In facial applications, Radiesse should provide a correction that lasts around one to two years(with an occasional touchup). Individual results may vary, affected by age, metabolism, skin type, lifestyle and muscle activity.

How quickly can I return to my normal activities?
Approximately 24 hours following injection of Radiesse, most swelling or redness will have subsided. Some patients return to work immediately following injection, while others may need 24 hours.

Is Radiesse permanent?
No. The gel carrier dissipates over a few months allowing for new tissue infiltration. The CaHA particles gradually break down and are metabolized over two to three years.

How many treatments will I require?
Some patients may achieve an optimal correction on their first injection. For other patients, variability in the rate of tissue in-growth may require a touch-up to achieve an optimal correction.

Is Radiesse approved?
Yes, Radiesse is approved for use in U.S., Europe, Canada, and various other countries. For more detail on these approvals, please visit our Regulatory section.
