Radiesse®

Radiesse® is a pure, synthetic compound with a record of safety that extends more than 25 years. It is comprised of microspheres of calcium hydroxylapatite, combined with an aqueous gel. The key element of Radiesse® is identical to the chemical structure of calcium naturally present in the human body. Throughout its life, Radiesse® remains soft and flexible and also exceptionally compatible with the body.

Prior to its introduction, the Radiesse® formula was extensively tested in the United States and Europe. No serious reactions or rejections have been reported to date.

When injected, the cream-like texture of Radiesse® feels soft and natural. Unlike temporary treatments that must be repeated, Radiesse® may provide years of rejuvenation. However, the absorption rate is variable and we have had some patients in whom the material was gone by 6 months. It is gradually replaced by the body's own tissue, and slowly dissolves away in some cases up to seven years later.

Radiesse® is FDA-approved for soft tissue marking in any anatomical location, vocal cord injection and oral and maxillofacial augmentation. FDA approval for facial implant is pending. Internationally, Radiesse® has received approval for facial implant and treatment of stress urinary incontinence.
