Radiesse consists of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a biocompatible carboxymethylcellulose gel. It is long lasting and does not require a skin test because it is the same mineral component found in our bones and teeth.

By supplementing your skin's own depleted collagen with Radiesse, we can smooth out wrinkles and most scars. Radiesse can also improve the appearance of deeper frown lines and nasal furrows. Radiesse is a safe, effective, time-tested, non-surgical wrinkle treatment that provides immediate results.

What areas respond best to Radiesse treatments?

During the procedure, a small needle is used to implant the Radiesse™. Topical and/or local anesthetic is used for pain control during injections. Injections in and around the lip are particularly painful.

Complications include bruising, nodule formation (particularly in the lips) and infection.

Radiesse™ injections have been shown to last for several years. However, individual results may be affected by age, skin type, lifestyle, and muscle activity. Some patients may achieve an optimal correction on their first injection. For other patients, variability in the rate of tissue in-growth following reabsorption of the gel carrier may require additional injections to achieve an optimal correction.
