How
does Radiesse work?
Radiesse is gently injected into the skin in small amounts with
a very fine needle. Its exclusive calcium-based microsphere
technology contains tiny particles that form a scaffold around
which the body is stimulated to produce new collagen. This
unique response provides immediate, visible improvement of
folds and wrinkles, while the body’s own collagen naturally
restores a fuller, more youthful appearance that keeps patients
looking better even longer.
What is Radiesse used for?
Radiesse is raising the bar to become the new standard of treatment
for long-lasting correction of facial wrinkles and folds, such
as nasolabial folds. Its robust, full-bodied composition provides
physicians a superior level of malleability and finesse for
facial aesthetic applications.
What sets Radiesse apart from other
fillers?
Radiesse is different because it lasts longer than the former
leading filler. Furthermore, Radiesse offers sustained cosmetic
results without the risks or drawbacks associated with a permanent
filler implant or surgery. Its unique calcium-based microsphere
technology provides immediate aesthetic improvement along with
the benefits of volumizing facial folds and rebuilding the
skin’s foundation for a natural, youthful look that lasts.
Clinical studies show that one Radiesse treatment provides
extended results that typically last one year or longer for
a worthwhile investment that saves time and money on repeat
treatments.
Who is a candidate for Radiesse
treatment?
Women or men who have facial wrinkles and folds common with ageing
and volume loss are candidates for Radiesse. In particular, Radiesse
is the better choice for women who are familiar with other filler
products but are frustrated by the cost and inconvenience of
injections every few months.
How long will Radiesse last?
In facial applications, Radiesse provides an aesthetic correction
that has been shown to last one year or longer. Additionally,
new collagen growth helps maintain the correction for the long
term. Individual results may vary.
Is Radiesse permanent?
No. Treatment results are long-lasting but Radiesse avoids the
risks of permanent implants that do not respond to facial skin
changes which occur with ageing. Radiesse’s tiny microspheres
gradually break down into calcium and phosphate ions that are
naturally taken up by the body over time.
Is Radiesse safe?
In years of rigorous clinical testing and use by physicians
in more than 200,000 patients worldwide, Radiesse has been
shown to be safe and effective. Its biocompatible composition
means there is virtually no risk of any allergic reaction
or concern that your body will reject Radiesse. There may
be some normal injection-related occurrences, such as discomfort,
swelling, or redness that typically resolve on their own
within a day or two.
How many treatments are required?
Patients may be able to achieve an optimal correction on their
first injection. Depending on both the doctor’s and patient’s
treatment preferences, a touch-up may be needed to obtain the
desired effect.
Does the treatment hurt?
Radiesse is well-tolerated. To maximize your comfort during the short procedure,
your doctor may apply a topical anaesthetic to the treatment area.
Is there a risk that Radiesse will
migrate throughout the body?
Historical experience with implanted CaHA microspheres and extensive testing
of Radiesse confirm that it does not migrate and is inherently safe and biocompatible.
In fact, the new tissue growth around the scaffold serves to anchor the product.
Does Radiesse interfere with any
therapeutic interventions such as x-rays for teeth or screening
for cancer that may create health risks for the patient?
No. Because Radiesse is composed of calcium-based particles,
it is evident on X-ray and clearly visible on CT scans, posing
no safety concerns.
Who manufactures Radiesse?
BioForm Medical is a privately-held medical device company that
develops and commercializes injectable implants for soft tissue
augmentation.
