Radiesse® is a safe,
next generation cosmetic
dermal filler that lasts
longer than the former
leading filler. It is
setting a new standard
for the correction of
facial lines and
wrinkles, restoring a
natural, youthful look
in an easy, convenient
treatment.
The tiny microspheres
provide a scaffolding
into which the body's
own tissue can grow and
maintain the implant in
place. Radiesse has
proven to be a very
versatile facial
contouring product and
has demonstrated durable
augmentation in areas
such as chin and cheek
where a larger volume is
required. It maintains a
soft, natural feel and
takes on the
characteristics of the
surrounding skin tissue.
Radiesse consists of
calcium hydroxylapatite
microspheres suspended
in gel
(carboxymethylcellulose).
Because calcium
hydroxylapatite is a
normal constituent of
bone, it should not
elicit a chronic
inflammatory or immune
response. Additionally,
Radiesse does not
require allergy testing.
Radiesse is a safe,
effective and
non-surgical treatment,
which provides immediate
smoothing out of
wrinkles and most scars.
The microspheres of CaHA
have been shown to last
up to seven years
clinically. Radiesse
should provide a long
lasting correction,
however individual
results may vary,
affected by age, skin
type, lifestyle and
muscle activity.

Q:
What are Radiance
treatments like?
A simple out-patient
procedure, it is
performed under local
anesthesia in the
physician's office and
takes about 15 minutes.
Injection pain is
minimized or eliminated
by use of a topical
cream . Following the
procedure, patients may
immediately return back
to daily activities,
however, treatment
sights may be swollen
for 1-2 days. There is
also potential for
bruising at the
injection sight, which
may be covered with
makeup.
Q:
How long will the
results last?
Depending on the areas
treated, most of the
correction may last for
many months, or even
years. Patients usually
see results that last
between 1 to 2 years.
Touch up treatments may
be necessary to maintain
desired correction.
Q:
Can other filler
products be used along
with Radiesse?
Restylane, Juvederm or
other dermal fillers may
be used as layers to
fill the more
superficial lines and
wrinkles. There is no
restriction to using
additonal fillers.
Radiesse is not used in
our office for lip
augmentation to prevent
the possibility of
nodules which could form
in the lip
