Advantages of using Radiesse Dermal Filler

When considering facial contouring or wrinkle treatment, patients may look at several dermal filler options. Compared with other fillers, Radiesse® dermal filler offers significant advantages, particularly for knowledgeable and discerning patients.

Biocompatible, non-toxic, and non-antigenic

RADIESSE dermal filler consists of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a sodium carboxymethylcellulose gel carrier. CaHA is identical in composition to the mineral portion of teeth and bones. It has been used safely for more than 25 years in a vast spectrum of clinical applications - from orthopedics to dentistry - with no significant product-related adverse events reported. RADIESSE dermal filler does not contain any animal- or human-derived components, and there's virtually no risk of allergic reaction or transmission of infectious agents. There is no need for pretreatment skin sensitivity testing. Over time, the microspheres degrade naturally into calcium and phosphate ions that are safely metabolized by the body's own processes.

Simple, convenient treatment

RADIESSE dermal filler is supplied in prefilled, ready-to-use syringes. There's no reconstitution or refrigeration required. You can accomplish optimal correction for most patients in just one treatment session. A touchup may be required. Treatments are simple enough to perform during a lunch hour, allowing patients to resume daily routines and activities almost immediately.

Immediate correction

RADIESSE dermal filler is easy to inject. It provides a one-to-one correction. The gel base is moldable, allowing you to massage the filler into place for precise, natural-looking results. Because you can see results right away, there's no need to overcorrect, as is often necessary with hyaluronic acid fillers. The effects of RADIESSE dermal filler are more immediate than those provided by SculptraT filler.

Stimulates the body to produce new collagen

The benefits of treatment with RADIESSE dermal filler extend beyond those of traditional dermal fillers because it utilizes a unique calcium-based microsphere technology. It simulates production of the body's own collagen and encourages collagen growth around the injection site. Patients continue to see soft, natural-looking results over time.

Long-lasting

Various clinical studies¹ have compared RADIESSE dermal filler with CosmoPlast®, Juvéderm 24T, Juvéderm 24HVT, and Perlane® fillers for the correction of nasolabial folds. In all cases, the results showed that RADIESSE dermal filler lasts longer than the other fillers. In practice, results may last up to a year or more for many patients. Patients need fewer office visits for retreatment, which makes RADIESSE dermal filler a more cost-effective solution over time. And RADIESSE dermal filler remains safe. There is no evidence of granulomas or migration after injection.
