Radiesse

Who Is It For

Radiesse is a dermal filler that is best used in patients who desire correction of moderate or deep folds, lines, and wrinkles. In addition, Radiesse can be used for facial sculpting in patients who would benefit from augmentation of their cheekbones or jaw line. Because Radiesse is longer lasting than some of the other dermal fillers, it is intended for use in patients who are seeking a longer lasting correction.

Radiesse is FDA approved for the aesthetic correction of moderate to severe wrinkles and folds. It is extremely safe, and over 200,000 patients worldwide have been treated with Radiesse.

How It Works

Radiesse is composed of microspheres of calcium hydroxylapatite suspended in a gel carrier. Since calcium hydroxylapatite is found naturally in every human being, no allergy testing is needed. The calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres serve as a lattice into which new collagen grows. Therefore, Radiesse produces its effect not only by acting as a passive filling agent but also by stimulating production of new collagen.

Results

The cosmetic results from Radiesse treatment are immediate. After injection, Radiesse will give a natural looking correction that lasts for up to one year, or longer.
