What is Radiesse ?
Radiesse is a safe, FDA-approved dermal filler that restores a natural, youthful look and lasts longer than the former leading filler. This convenient treatment fills and corrects 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 our 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 rebuilds your skin’s foundation and restores your youthful look, without the risks associated with a permanent implant.
How soon can I expect Results? How long will the results last?
The results are immediate. Radiesse typically lasts a year or more, longer than the former leading filler, saving you time and money. 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 visit. Because Radiesse is a longer-term cosmetic enhancement, and to ensure your satisfaction, your physician might schedule a follow-up visit, where a touch-up treatment may be recommended.

Normal, injection-related reactions, such as mild irritation, swelling, itching, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site may occur. These conditions typically resolve on their own.
Is Radiesse permanent?
No. Treatment results are long-lasting, but not permanent. The calcium-based micro-spheres gradually break down and are safely and naturally absorbed by your body so you will have none of the risks associated with a permanent implant.
How much does it cost?
Radiesse treatments are customized for each patient so the price varies. In general, the cost of Radiesse is comparable to similar procedures. And because Radiesse is long-lasting, you’ll also save money… and time. Please consult your physician to discuss your Radiesse treatment plan.
