Radiesse is one of the longest lasting fillers available. 

Radiesse is the newest non-surgical facial contouring filler that delivers an immediate, longer lasting result

Whether you’re longing to reverse the common signs of aging or address a health issue that otherwise would require an invasive treatment, you have more options in looking and feeling better with Radiesse™. Developed with safety and longevity in mind, Radiesse is a new generation injectable filler that offers superior versatility for both cosmetic and reconstructive use without surgery. What sets Radiesse apart from other dermal fillers? The answer is in its durability, longevity, and versatility. The unique composition of Radiesse provides immediate visual improvement common with other fillers, along with the benefit of long-lasting results. This is because Radiesse is made of very tiny, smooth calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. The microspheres (particles) form a scaffold through which your body’s own collagen grows, and this produces the desired long-term effect. These unique advantages make Radiesse the ideal choice for facial shaping and contouring — along with other therapeutic applications.

These prominent aging lines running from the corner of the nose to the outer area of the lips can be more prominent in some people. Up until now, filler treatment for this area of the face was short-lived. Now, the nasolabial folds can be successfully treated with Radiesse™ injected into the deep dermis, with much longer lasting results.

A recently published independent studies, Kanchwala (et. al.), comparing Radiesse and three other soft-tissue fillers for facial-volume augmentation recommended Radiesse as the preferred filler for augmenting nasolabial folds. The longevity of Radiesse was rated as excellent, averaging 11 months. On the other hand, Restylane and Hylaform lasted only 4.5 months and 3 months respectively. In addition, investigators concluded that Radiesse is a cost-effective option in treating nasolabial folds due to its overall longevity. Published independent studies show that a typical treatment for nasolabial folds lasts approximately one year to 18 months, with an occasional touchup recommended.

These lines at the corners of the mouth can make you look very serious, or sad, even when your face is at rest. Radiesse™ allows you to carefully augment these small lines with only local anesthesia - with immediate results. Published independent studies show that a typical treatment for marionette lines lasts approximately 9-12 months, with no recommended touchup prior to that time. A touch up will provide an even longer augmentation.

Malar/Submalar enhancement

Some people are born with naturally beautiful cheekbones – many of us aren’t. But Radiesse™ can give you the cheeks you always wanted.

As we age, we start to lose fat in our faces and it is often most noticeable in the cheek area. Radiesse is an ideal filler for adding volume to cheeks because it can be used to treat large surface areas in one procedure. The result is a healthy looking, contoured appearance common in more youthful cheeks. Published independent studies show that a typical treatment for malar and submalar augmentation lasts approximately 18 months to two years, with an occasional touchup recommended.
