What Is Radiesse?
The FDA-approved dermal fillers RADIESSE® and RADIESSE® (+) are intended to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, including nasolabial folds, which are the creases that extend from the corners of your mouth to the corners of your nose. In addition to facial rejuvenation, RADIESSE® is the first and only calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) injectable approved in the U.S. for restoring lost volume in the backs of the hands, providing a smoother, more youthful appearance.
How Does Radiesse Work?
Radiesse is formulated with calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a soft gel. This unique structure mimics the body’s natural connective tissue and acts as a scaffold under the skin. When injected, it immediately adds volume to fill lines and folds while also stimulating your body’s natural collagen production over time.
Where Can Radiesse Be Used?
Radiesse is primarily used to:
- Smooth wrinkles and folds around the mouth and nose
- Restore lost facial volume
- Correct volume loss on the back of the hands
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Radiesse?
Radiesse is a great option for adults, typically ages 35 to 60, who want to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and folds around the mouth and nose or rejuvenate aging hands by restoring lost volume and smoothness.
