Radiesse is a next-generation cosmetic dermal filler which has advanced calcium-based microsphere technology to naturally restore facial beauty and a youthful appearance. It is a longer lasting filler than its predecessors and works to both restore volume and naturally promote the growth of a patient’s own collagen to create fullness. Radiesse provides an aesthetic correction that has been shown to last about one year or longer without surgery or the risks associated with permanent implants.

Radiesse is gently injected into the skin in small amounts with a very fine needle. Its tiny calcium-based particles replace volume loss and stimulate new collagen growth for longer-lasting cosmetic results. The tiny particles of calcium-based powder form a scaffold around which the body produces new collagen to naturally restore the full, youthful beauty of the face. The tiny microspheres gradually break down into calcium and phosphate ions that are naturally absorbed by the body over time. Because Radiesse is a robust, full-bodied material, it provides an excellent level of malleability and finesse for facial aesthetic applications.

The result is a longer-lasting solution to treat wrinkles and folds, such as the ones that form with age from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Now approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the correction of facial wrinkles and folds, next-generation Radiesse is available for women and men desiring immediate, visible improvement with longer-lasting results.

What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is a safe, next generation cosmetic dermal filler that is setting a new standard for the correction of facial lines and wrinkles such as Nasolabial Folds. Years of rigorous clinical studies prove that Radiesse lasts longer than the former leading filler, to safely fill and correct smile lines, Nasolabial Folds and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. Radiesse is made of unique calcium-based Radiesse microspheres suspended in a natural gel that is injected into the skin through a simple, safe and minimally invasive procedure. Simply put, Radiesse treatments deliver a natural look that lasts.

How does Radiesse work?

Radiesse works below the skin’s surface. Tiny calcium-based microspheres form a “scaffold” to support and stimulate the growth of your own collagen to create a natural, full, youthful look. Radiesse does more than just temporarily fill-in facial lines and wrinkles ─ it rebuilds your skin’s foundation, without the risks associated with permanent fillers.

Is Radiesse safe?

Yes. Over 250,000 patients have experienced Radiesse and more than 4,000 physicians have been trained to provide Radiesse treatments. Through years of rigorous industry and independent research worldwide, Radiesse has been shown to be safe and effective. With Radiesse, you get safe, clinically tested, FDA Approved reliability.

Why “fill in” wrinkles with Radiesse?

Over time, tissue volume diminishes, leaving what is commonly seen as lines and wrinkles, including the deepening of Nasolabial Folds, accentuated smile lines (sometimes called “marionette lines”), fallen cheek pads and sagging jaw lines. Radiesse can be injected into the skin in order to compensate or correct these areas. By using your body’s ability to grow collagen and regenerate tissue, Radiesse produces natural looking results for a fresh, rested, healthy appearance that still looks like you.

How is a Radiesse treatment performed?

Radiesse is injected into the skin through a simple, safe, quick, and minimally invasive outpatient procedure. Typically administered in a doctor’s office, with the use of a local anesthetic, Radiesse treatments have little to no downtime, with most patients returning to normal activities soon after treatment.

How soon can I expect results? How long will the results last?

The results are immediate. Radiesse continues to deliver results as it works with your body to stimulate new collagen and regenerate tissue. Results typically last a year or more, longer than the former leading cosmetic dermal filler, saving you time and money. Since results may vary, be sure to discuss your expectations with your doctor.

Could I have an allergic reaction to Radiesse?

Radiesse is biocompatible, meaning there is virtually no risk of an allergic reaction. You do not need to undergo skin allergy testing, common in certain animal-based or permanent filler agents, prior to treatment. However, if you believe you are having an allergic reaction to Radiesse, seek medical attention immediately.
