Radiesse® is an FDA-approved, next-generation dermal filler that treats facial lines such as the nasolabial folds as well as other facial lines and wrinkles. Consisting of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel, Radiesse® is injected into the skin through a minimally invasive procedure giving you instant, visible improvement of folds and wrinkles, and providing long-lasting results. In many people, the results of Radiesse® can last over a year. Offering clinically proven safety and longevity, Radiesse® is a simple treatment that stimulates the body to produce new collagen — often with just one or two office visits.
Radiesse ® Microsphere Technology
Radiesse® injections consist of very small, smooth calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres that are suspended in a water-based gel carrier. Radiesse® stimulates the body to produce new collagen, correcting facial wrinkles. This enables Radiesse® to create a natural look that lasts.
Though your body will absorb the gel carrier over time, collagen will start to grow and infiltrate the area in the meantime, thus replacing the gel with your own collagen. Radiesse® continues to stimulate the body to produce new collagen until the microspheres are also safely and naturally absorbed into your body.

Radiesse® a Safe and Effective Treatment
Hundreds of thousands of patients have experienced FDA-approved Radiesse®, and thousands of physicians and their skilled nursing staffs have been trained worldwide to provide Radiesse® treatments. Years of rigorous industry testing and independent research has proven that Radiesse® injections are safe and effective, with virtually no risk of allergic reaction. Radiesse® is biocompatible and is naturally absorbed by your body over time. Radiesse® works with your body to correct facial wrinkles and provides the long lasting, natural look you desire.
What is Radiesse®?
Radiesse® is a safe, next generation dermal filler that is aiming to become the new standard for the correction of facial lines and wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds. Years of rigorous clinical studies prove that Radiesse® provides long lasting correction of smile lines and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. Radiesse® is made of unique calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel that is injected into the skin through a simple, safe, and minimally invasive procedure. Radiesse® treatments deliver a natural look that lasts.
How does Radiesse® work?
Radiesse® is gently injected into the skin in small amounts with a very fine needle. Radiesse® stimulates the body to produce new collagen. This unique response provides immediate, visible improvement of folds and wrinkles, and provides long-lasting and beautiful results.
Is Radiesse® safe?
In years of rigorous clinical testing and use by physicians in hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide, Radiesse® has been shown to be safe and effective. In the FDA clinical studies there were virtually no allergic reactions. There may be some normal injection related occurrences.
Am I a Radiesse® candidate?
You may be a Radiesse® dermal filler candidate if you are beginning to notice facial wrinkles, lines, and folds. Radiesse® provides immediate and long-lasting wrinkle correction.
Why "correct" wrinkles with Radiesse®?
Over time, tissue volume diminishes, leaving folds and wrinkles in several common patterns, including the deepening of nasolabial folds, accentuated smile lines (sometimes called "marionette lines"). Radiesse® can be injected into the skin in order to compensate for the loss of volume or to correct these areas. By stimulating the body to produce new collagen, Radiesse® provides a natural look that lasts for a fresh, rested, healthy appearance that still looks like you.
How is a Radiesse® treatment performed?
Radiesse® is injected into the skin through a simple, safe, quick, and minimally invasive outpatient procedure. Typically administered in a physician's office with the use of a local anesthetic, Radiesse® treatment requires little to no downtime, with most patients returning to normal activities almost immediately after treatment.
Where can I get a Radiesse® treatment?
Thousands of physicians nationwide have been trained to provide Radiesse® treatments. Find a qualified Radiesse® physician near you with whom you can schedule a consultation to discuss Radiesse® and your treatment options.
How soon can I expect results? How long will the results last?
The results are immediate. Radiesse® continues to deliver results as it stimulates your body to produce new collagen. Results may last a year or more in many patients, which may result in fewer office visits for retreatments. Since results may vary, be sure to discuss your expectations with your doctor.
How many treatments will I need?
Many patients will achieve their desired result after just one or two treatments. To ensure your satisfaction with the treatment, your physician might schedule a follow-up visit, where a touch up treatment might be recommended.
How much does Radiesse® cost?
Because Radiesse® treatment is customized for each patient, its cost varies. In general, the cost of Radiesse® is comparable to similar procedures. And because Radiesse® may require fewer offices visits for retreatment, you could save money and time.
Are there any side effects?
Normal, injection-related reactions such as mild irritation, edema, swelling, itching, discoloration, or tenderness at the injection site may occur. These conditions typically resolve themselves within one to two days.
Could I have an allergic reaction to Radiesse®?
Radiesse® is biocompatible. You do not need to undergo skin allergy testing, which is common with certain animal-based or permanent filler agents, prior to treatment. However, if you believe you are having an allergic reaction to Radiesse®, seek medical attention immediately.
Is Radiesse® permanent?
No. Treatment results are long-lasting, but not permanent. Over time the tiny calcium-based microspheres gradually break down into calcium and phosphate ions which are safely and naturally absorbed into your body, leaving your own newly produced collagen in their place.
How does Radiesse® work?
Radiesse® injections work below the skin's surface to stimulate the body to produce new collagen. Radiesse® does more than just temporarily fill in facial lines and wrinkles – it actually provides facial volume. You get immediate results that are long lasting.
