Q: What is Radiesse®?
A: Radiesse® is a cosmetic dermal filler that lasts longer than the former leading filler. A next-generation filler, it does more than just plump-up facial lines and wrinkles. That’s because only Radiesse® has advanced calcium-based microsphere technology that restores volume and naturally promotes the growth of the body’s own collagen. Radiesse® treatment delivers the fullness and youthful beauty of the face for a natural look that lasts longer without surgery or the risks of permanent implants.
Q: How does Radiesse® work?
A: Radiesse® is gently injected into the skin in small amounts with a very fine needle. Its exclusive calcium-based microsphere technology contains tiny particles that form a scaffold around which the body is stimulated to produce new collagen. This unique response provides immediate, visible improvement of folds and wrinkles, while the body’s own collagen naturally restores a fuller, more youthful appearance that keeps patients looking better even longer.
Q: What is Radiesse® used for?
A: Radiesse® is used for long-lasting correction of facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds.
Q: What sets Radiesse® apart from other fillers?
A: Radiesse® is different because it lasts longer than the former leading filler. Further, Radiesse® offers sustained cosmetic results without the risks or drawbacks associated with a permanent filler implant or surgery. Its unique calcium-based microsphere technology provides immediate aesthetic improvement along with the benefits of volumizing facial folds and rebuilding the skin’s foundation for a natural, youthful look that lasts.
Clinical studies show that one Radiesse® treatment provides extended results that typically last one year or longer for a worthwhile investment that saves time and money on repeat treatments.
Q: Who is a candidate for Radiesse® treatment?
A: Women or men who have facial wrinkles and folds common with aging and volume loss are candidates for Radiesse®. In particular, Radiesse® is the better choice for women who are familiar with other filler products but are frustrated by the cost and inconvenience of injections every few months.
Q: How long will Radiesse® last?
A: In facial applications, Radiesse® provides an aesthetic correction that has been shown to last one year or longer. Additionally, new collagen growth helps maintain the correction for the long term. Individual results may vary.
Q: Is Radiesse® safe?
A: In years of rigorous clinical testing and use by physicians in more than 200,000 patients worldwide, Radiesse® has been shown to be safe and effective. Its biocompatible composition means there is virtually no risk of any allergic reaction or concern that your body will reject Radiesse®. There may be some normal injection-related occurrences, such as discomfort, swelling, or redness that typically resolve on their own within a day or two.
Q: How many treatments are required?
A: Patients may be able to achieve an optimal correction on their first injection. Depending on both the doctor’s and patient’s treatment preferences, a touch-up may be needed to obtain the desired effect.
