RADIESSE
WHAT IS RADIESSE?
Radiesse is composed of synthetic calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier.
CaHA is a biomaterial with over twenty years of use in orthopedics, neurosurgery, dentistry, and ophthalmology, and is the primary mineral constituent
of bone and teeth. The semi-solid nature of Radiesse is created by suspending CaHA in a common water based carrier, also used in a large array of
products.
Because CaHA has similar characteristics to bone and teeth, it is naturally compatible with the body. Radiesse is synthetic and man-made, similar to
calcium phosphate. It has been tested extensively in clinical trials since 1995 with good safety and efficacy results.
IS RADIESSE PERMANENT?
No. The gel carrier dissipates over a few months allowing for new tissue infiltration. The CaHA particles gradually break down and are
metabolized over time.
WILL RADIESSE BECOME HARD OR NOTICEABLE TO THE TOUCH?
No. Radiesse will remain soft and pliable and will take on the characteristics of the surrounding tissue.
HOW LONG WILL RADIESSE LAST?
The microspheres of CaHA have been shown to last up to seven years clinically. In facial applications, Radiesse should provide a
correction that lasts around two years. Individual results may vary, affected by age, skin type, lifestyle and muscle activity.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
There are few reported side effects. However, some common injection-related reactions may occur, such as redness, swelling, pain, itching,
discoloration and tenderness at the injection site.
