IMMEDIATE SATISFACTION, LONG LASTING RESULTS
The results of a Radiesse treatment are immediate. Radiesse dermal filler 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 experienced Radiesse provider.

SAFE AND EFFECTIVE
Radiesse is made of unique calcium-based microspheres that are suspended in a natural gel that is injected into the skin through a simple, safe and minimally invasive procedure.

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 safe, FDA Approved, clinically tested reliability.

Longer Lasting 
Clinical studies prove that Radiesse® lasts longer than the former leading filler. In a head-to-head split-face study between Radiesse and Restylane®, Radiesse delivered longer lasting improvement over Restylane. The study was conducted through blind evaluations (conducted by live evaluators) comparing the patient's Nasolabial Fold injected with Radiesse against the fold injected with Restylane. At each time point, Radiesse proved superior with longer lasting improvement overall. As illustrated below, even at 9 months, a higher percentage of patients showed improvement in the Radiesse injected Nasolabial Fold (79%) compared to the patients with continued improvement in the Restylane (44% patients) injected fold.

How It Works
Radiesse® works with your body, below the skin's surface, to stimulate the production of collagen and encourage tissue regeneration. It does more than just temporarily fill-in facial lines and wrinkles - it rebuilds your skin's foundation. You get immediate results and look younger, longer.

RADIESSE MICROSPHERE TECHNOLOGY™
Radiesse is made of very small, smooth calcium hydroxylapitite (CaHA) microspheres, which are suspended in a water-based gel carrier. As Radiesse is injected, the gel and Radiesse Microspheres form a "scaffold", stimulating collagen production and encouraging tissue growth in and around the injection area. This "partnership" between Radiesse and your own body creates a natural look, comprised of your own tissue and Radiesse Microspheres.

Over time, your body absorbs the gel carrier while collagen has started to grow and infiltrate the area, replacing the gel with your own, natural tissue. The Radiesse Microspheres continue to provide the support and structure for your body to grow new tissue and collagen until the Microspheres are also safely and naturally absorbed into your body. 

A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENT
Over 200,000 patients have experienced Radiesse and more than 4,000 physicians and their skilled nursing staff have been trained to provide FDA Approved Radiesse treatments.  Years of rigorous industry and independent research worldwide, has proven that Radiesse is safe and effective, with virtually no risk of allergic reaction. Radiesse is biocompatible and is naturally absorbed by your body over time, working with your body to rebuild the fresh, natural look you desire.
