The components of the Radiesse™ implant have a long history of safe and effective
use for medical applications. Use of only a relatively small amount of implant
will provide results that will make a lasting difference.
Radiesse™ has
demonstrated durable safe results in many patients, and offers substantial
benefits to some of the other available soft-tissue implants. No patient
pre-testing is required due to Radiesse™’s unique natural product formulation and
biocompatibility profile. Radiesse™ will remain soft and pliable and will take on
the characteristics of the surrounding tissue, and will offer a durable cosmetic
effect to the patient.
The microspheres of CaHA have been shown to last
up to seven years clinically. Radiesse™ should provide a long lasting correction,
however individual results may vary, 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 resorption of the gel carrier may require additional injections to
achieve an optimal correction.
Radiesse™ is now FDA approved to safely correct moderate to severe facial folds and wrinkles, including nasolabial folds.
