Radiesse is a safe FDA-approved dermal filler that restores a natural, youthful look and lasts longer than other temporary fillers. This convenient treatment fills and corrects nasolabial folds and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. It also augments cheeks and other skin depressions. Radiesse is made of unique calcium-based micro-spheres suspended in a natural gel that is injected into skin through a simple, safe and minimally invasive procedure. No pre-testing is required due to Radiesse’s unique natural product formulation and biocompatibility profile.
Radiesse works with your body, below the skin’s surface. Tiny calcium-based microspheres form a “scaffold” to support and stimulate the growth of your own collagen. Over time, the calcium-based microspheres 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. The results are immediate and typically last a year or more.
