Radiesse®

Radiesse® is an injectable soft tissue filler used to correct facial imperfections that result from aging. Radiesse® restores volume to the face and stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen. Collagen provides the skin with its elasticity, strength, and fullness. As the aging process progresses, the production of collagen declines, which results in the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and deep folds in the skin. Radiesse® improves the appearance of the skin by plumping and smoothing the surface. With the use of Radiesse®, you can revitalize and rejuvenate your appearance while still achieving completely natural-looking results. Radiesse® injections are minimally invasive and may be used in the treatment and correction of many facial imperfections. Once injected, Radiesse® produces immediate results, to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance all within the same day of undergoing treatment.

How Radiesse® can help create a more youthful appearance

It’s the first and only FDA-approved CaHA portfolio that provides immediate contouring plus stimulation of collagen and elastin production.

Your skin changes over time

That’s probably no surprise—but do you know exactly how? Two important components in how the skin changes over time are collagen and elastin, because they help keep facial lines and wrinkles at bay. Collagen and elastin both contribute to the skin’s strength and elasticity. Unfortunately, aging and environmental factors (think sun damage) make it harder for your body to produce these components. Reduced amounts of collagen and elastin can cause facial skin to wrinkle and sag, stealing from your youthful appearance.

Upon injection, the Radiesse CaHA gel matrix provides immediate improvement

CaHA particles then integrate into your skin and create a “scaffold” that stimulates production of collagen and elastin

As the gel carrier breaks down, a firm network of collagen fibers forms

Formed collagen and elastin replaces the correction provided by the gel carrier, smoothing lines and promoting renewed skin structure.

Radiesse® Benefits

The benefits of Radiesse® are many, making it an excellent treatment in the reversal of the effects of facial aging. The natural composition of Radiesse® means allergy testing is not required because there is virtually no risk of an allergic reaction. Radiesse® may be mixed with lidocaine to minimize any discomfort experienced during the injection process. The results of Radiesse® are long-lasting, often lasting one year or more in most patients. The calcium-based microspheres and gel that Radiesse® is comprised of provide immediate results. The entire Radiesse® treatment process normally takes between fifteen and thirty minutes to complete and requires fewer injections than other dermal fillers. Another benefit of Radiesse® is that it also requires less frequent touch-ups than other dermal fillers. The most exciting benefit of Radiesse® may be the stimulation of natural collagen growth.
