RADIESSE® is comprised of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in an aqueous gel carrier. Once injected, it provides immediate volume and correction and continues to work by stimulating the body to produce its own natural collagen for a long-lasting effect. Over time, the gel is absorbed and the body metabolizes the CaHA microspheres, leaving behind only your own natural collagen.
RADIESSE® is a collagen stimulator. It stimulates the body’s process of generating collagen and encourages growth, for a more refreshed appearance, so beauty can bloom. Collagen is the main structural protein in our skin–it’s what helps it feel and look tight, taught, and youthful. As we age, the production of collagen slows down, causing skin to sag.
RADIESSE® is dermal filler that is used for smoothing moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (the creases that extend from the corner of your nose to the corner of your mouth). RADIESSE® is also used for correcting volume loss in the back of the hands.
RADIESSE® is a viable option for those seeking help in smoothing their wrinkles. Long-lasting and highly satisfying to patients, it is the first FDA-approved dermal filler for both face and hands. It provides natural definition by restoring a more youthful-looking appearance. Just like our faces, our hands change over time. Veins and tendons become more prominent, and the youthful appearance fades. RADIESSE® is the first dermal filler proven to immediately restore volume loss in the back of hands, giving you smooth, natural-looking, and long-lasting results. It can also be used to improve the signs of facial fat loss associated with the HIV virus.
RADIESSE® treatment provides smooth, youthful looking skin for an average of 12 to 18 months.
