What is RADIESSE?
RADIESSE is a safe, FDA-approved dermal filler that restores a natural, long lasting, youthful look. This convenient treatment can restore facial volume as well as correct smile lines, nasolabial folds and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. RADIESSE is made of unique calcium-based micro-spheres suspended in a natural gel that is injected into the skin through a simple, safe and minimally invasive procedure.

How does RADIESSE Work?
RADIESSE works with your body, below the skin’s surface. Tiny calcium-based micro-spheres form a “scaffold” to support and stimulate the growth of your own collagen. Over time, the calcium-based micro-spheres gradually break down and are safely and naturally absorbed by your body. RADIESSE does more than just temporarily fill-in facial folds and wrinkles – it can restore facial volume for the youthful look you want.

How soon can I expect results ? How long will the results last?
The results are immediate. RADIESSE may last a year or more in many patients. Since results may vary, be sure to discuss your expectations with your doctor.

Is RADIESSE Safe?
Yes. Hundreds of thousands of patients have experienced RADIESSE and more than 4,000 physicians worldwide have been trained to provide RADIESSE treatments. Through years of clinical studies and independent research, RADIESSE has proven to be safe and effective. With RADIESSE, you get FDA-approved, safe, clinically tested reliability.

How is a RADIESSE treatment performed?
RADIESSE is injected into the skin through a simple, safe, convenient procedure. Typically administered in a doctor’s office, with the use of a local anesthetic, RADIESSE treatments have little to no downtime, with most patients returning to normal activities soon after treatment.

How many treatments will I need?
Many patients achieve their desired result after just one visit. Because RADIESSE is a long term cosmetic enhancement, and to ensure your satisfaction, your physician might schedule a follow-up visit, where a touch-up treatment may be recommended.

Are there side effects?
Normal, injection-related reactions, such a mild irritation, swelling, itching, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site may occur. These conditions typically resolve on their own.
