In the hands of an experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon, Radiesse is a safe, easy to use, predictable, and reliable product for facial soft tissue augmentation. This injectable filler is composed of microspheres of CaHA suspended in a matrix composed of water, glycerin, and sodium carboxy-methylcellulose. CaHA is a mineral found in bones and teeth.
Radiesse is very useful for restoring or creating mild to moderate changes in soft tissue contour, and it’s an excellent product for treating conditions like the following:
- Nasolabial folds ("smile lines")
- Marionette lines
- Chin-lip creases
Is Radiesse treatment painful?
Radiesse volumizing filler is FDA approved for lidocaine mixing to significantly reduce the pain of injection.
After Radiesse Injection
You will be discharged immediately with simple instructions for post treatment care. "‘Touch-up"’ injections can be administered on a case-by-case basis as needed. With many patients, the results can last as long as 2 years.
Possible Side Effects
Side effects are uncommon with Radiesse, but can occur. Possible adverse events include mild irritation, edema, swelling, itching, discoloration, or tenderness at the injection site, which typically resolves within two days.
