Benefits of Radiesse

Radiesse is an injectable dermal filler that previously was distributed under the name Radiance. This non-allergenic, non-toxic filler is considered safe and effective, and is made from a biocompatible compound consisting of ingredients that naturally occur in the human body. Radiesse has received two Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals, several FDA clearances and has been extensively tested in clinical settings. Side effects and complications are rarely reported and this product’s long-lasting results have made Radiesse an increasingly popular choice for patients in search of a minimally-invasive treatment for facial lines, wrinkles and folds, as well as cheek or lip augmentation.

Patients choose Radiesse for a number of reasons, including the low rate of side effects, such as bruising or swelling, the ability to immediately return to work or regular daily activities after a treatment session, and the long-lasting results that are immediately noticeable. The Radiesse procedure is so simple that patients can receive injections on their lunch break, and then immediately return to work with a more youthful appearance.
Most patients will achieve full results within one week after the procedure and can expect the results to last over one year in most cases, with some patients achieving results that last as long as three years after the procedure.

There are no animal products used in the creation of Radiesse and skin testing is not necessary, due to the virtually non-existent risk of allergic reactions. Designed to work over time, the microsphere technology used in Radiesse allows for ongoing improvement in results as the body’s natural collagen production process is stimulated and volume is naturally added around the injection site. Through the promotion of collagen production, Radiesse assists patients in achieving a more youthful appearance and increasing their confidence levels without the need for invasive surgeries, such as facelifts.

The combination of these benefits makes Radiesse a popular choice for facial contouring, lip and cheek augmentation and reduction in the appearance of facial wrinkles and lines.
