RADIESSE® is a combination of methylcellulose gel and calcium hydroxylapatite spheres. Methylcellulose is commonly used as a food thickener and calcium hydroxylapatite (CHA) has a long history of use as a bone filler, so both ingredients are very safe. The CHA in Radiesse® is durable in the body, but it is slowly absorbed. Studies indicate that about 80% of people who get Radiesse® injections see results that last for over 1 year.
Radiesse® is FDA-approved, next-generation dermal filler that is setting a new standard for the correction of facial lines and wrinkles such as nasolabial folds. Made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel, Radiesse® is injected into the skin through a simple and minimally invasive procedure giving you immediate, visible improvement of folds and wrinkles, and providing long-lasting and beautiful results. In many patients, the effects of Radiesse® may last a year or more. Offering clinically proven safety and longevity, Radiesse® is a convenient treatment that stimulates the body to produce new collagen — often with just one or two office visits.
