 Radiesse FAQ
What is Radiesse?
Radiesse is a dermal filler which is made of unique, patented, calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a water-based gel carrier. When injected into the skin, these microspheres initially perform as a filler - they immediately provide facial volume for a soft, natural look. The transformation is noticeable right away. Over time, your body will gradually absorb the gel carrier, but the very tiny, smooth microspheres remain.
Once injected Radiesse dermal filler starts a process called neocollagenesis, or the creation of new collagen. It stimulates collagen production in your own body and encourages collagen growth around the injection site. In many cases, results may last up to a year or more. Radiesse is the next generation in long-lasting wrinkle correction.

How long do Radiesse treatment effects last?
Radiesse lasts twice as long as older fillers such as Restylane, usually 12-18 months and gives unbeatable results for areas like the nasolabial lines (lines around the nose and mouth). In fact biopsies of areas that have had radiesse injections have shown that it can last up to 3 years or more. However the volume that remains later on is no more than 30% of the original volume that was injected. The area that is injected also determines how long it lasts. In more mobile areas, the effect is less and disperses away faster.
Is Radiesse dermal filler safe?
Hundreds of thousands of patients have now been treated with Radiesse. Following years of clinical studies and research, Radiesse has been proven to be safe and effective: it is an FDA approved treatment (the primary drug safety/ regulatory body in the USA). Radiesse dermal filler is setting a new standard for facial contouring and augmentation. It immediately adds volume to safely contour, correct, and beautify facial features. And it continues to work over time. It has patented microsphere technology and stimulates the body to produce new collagen for a soft, natural look that lasts.
Although Radiesse has been used for a number of years and is recognised as the top filler for this area in the USA it has only recently been launched here in the UK

How is it different to other fillers?
Radiesse® is different to fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm as it works with your body stimulating collagen production and encouraging tissue regeneration just below the skin's surface. It does more than just temporarily fill-in facial lines and wrinkles - it rebuilds your skin's foundation.
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 (usually around 6 weeks), 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.

Are there any long-term problems?
No, the gel carrier dissolves within months and the structural microspheres are completely broken down through the body's natural processes.
Can Radiesse® be used with Botox or other fillers?
Yes. However, it is important to discuss all previous treatments with your practitioner as Radiesse® should not be injected over permanent injectable implants.
