What is RADIESSE®?

RADIESSE® is a dermal filler that temporarily adds volume to help smooth 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).

​

How does RADIESSE® work?

Once injected, RADIESSE® plumps the skin to give the appearance of a smoother surface. Over time, RADIESSE® works to stimulate the body to produce collagen naturally. Ultimately the body absorbs the product and leaves behind the natural collagen for long-lasting results.

​

What makes RADIESSE® different from the other leading dermal fillers?

RADIESSE® is the only dermal filler available composed of calcium-based microspheres, and has been shown to stimulate the natural production of collagen, for results that may last up to a year or more in many patients. Additionally, in clinical studies with leading hyaluronic acid injectable dermal fillers, results showed that RADIESSE® patients were more satisfied with their results than patients treated with other leading wrinkle fillers. 

​

How is treatment with RADIESSE®? Is it painful?

RADIESSE® is injected under the skin in a quick procedure that can
be done over the lunch hour. RADIESSE® is also FDA-approved to mix with lidocaine (an anesthetic), which means the procedure will be much more comfortable. In fact, in a clinical study, 90% of patients treated reported significant pain reduction when injected with RADIESSE® mixed with lidocaine.
