Radiesse®

Radiesse® filler can help restore a youthful look to your face. Review the frequently asked questions below to learn if you are an ideal Radiesse filler candidate.

What is Radiesse® filler?

Radiesse® filler is a safe, next generation dermal filler that is aiming to become the new standard for the correction of facial lines and wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds. Years of rigorous clinical studies prove that Radiesse® filler provides long lasting correction of smile lines and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. Radiesse® filler is made of unique calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel that is injected into the skin through a simple, safe, and minimally invasive procedure. Radiesse® filler treatments deliver a natural look that lasts.

How does Radiesse filler work?

Radiesse® filler is gently injected into the skin in small amounts with a very fine needle. Radiesse® filler stimulates the body to produce new collagen. This unique response provides immediate, visible improvement of folds and wrinkles, and provides long-lasting and beautiful results.

Why “correct” wrinkles with Radiesse® filler?

Over time, tissue volume diminishes, leaving folds and wrinkles in several common patterns, including the deepening of nasolabial folds, or accentuated smile lines (sometimes called “marionette lines”). Radiesse® filler can be injected into the skin in order to compensate for the loss of volume or to correct these areas. By stimulating the body to produce new collagen, Radiesse® filler provides a natural look that lasts longer than other traditional fillers. Radiesse allows for a fresh, rested, healthy appearance that still looks like you.

Is Radiesse® filler safe?

In years of rigorous clinical testing and use by physicians in hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide, Radiesse® filler has been shown to be safe and effective. In the FDA clinical studies, there were virtually no allergic reactions. There may be some normal injection-related occurrences, such as bruising, discomfort, swelling, or redness that typically resolve on their own.

How is a Radiesse® treatment performed?

Radiesse® filler is injected into the skin through a simple, safe, quick, and minimally invasive outpatient procedure. Topical anesthetic can be applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort. Radiesse® treatment requires little to no downtime, with patients returning to normal activities immediately after treatment.

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

The results are immediate. Radiesse® filler continues to deliver results as it stimulates your body to produce new collagen. Results may last a year or more in many patients, which results in fewer office visits for retreatments. Since results may vary, please be sure to discuss your expectations with our experienced staff members."
