About Radiesse® Cosmetic
Radiesse treatments are ideal for nasolabial folds and facial lines and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. Patients benefit from an immediate correction that has been proven in a clinical trial to last longer than CosmoPlast®.
The benefit of a Radiesse treatment extends beyond traditional dermal fillers because it utilizes a unique calcium-based microsphere technology and stimulates the body to produce new collagen. Radiesse cosmetic dermal filler is safe and long lasting, giving your patients the convenience and longevity they desire.
Radiesse dermal filler consists of very small, smooth calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres that are suspended in a water-based gel carrier. Over time, as the patient's own soft tissue replaces the gel carrier, the newly formed collagen matrix provides the desired long-term effect. These unique advantages make Radiesse treatments the ideal choice to fill moderate to severe wrinkles and folds such as nasolablial folds.
Clinical Trial Results — FDA-Approved
Radiesse is FDA-approved for the correction of moderate to severe facial folds and wrinkles around the nose and mouth, such as nasolabial folds. The FDA clinical study compared Radiesse to CosmoPlast® (a common collagen-based dermal filler) in a split-face, multi-site study. The results of the study demonstrated that Radiesse is longer lasting than CosmoPlast®.
Radiesse dermal filler is also FDA-approved for the correction and/or restoration of the signs of facial lipoatrophy in HIV patients. The condition can cause indentations and sunken cheeks. Radiesse fills and volumizes to correct the signs of facial fat loss and restore a natural, youthful look.
Additionally, Radiesse is indicated for the following uses: oral/maxillofacial defects; vocal fold insufficiency; and radiographic tissue marking.
