What is RADIESSE® Filler?
Radiesse® is a trusted dermal filler recognized worldwide for its ability to smooth wrinkles, restore volume, and provide natural-looking results. There are two unique formulations—Radiesse® and Radiesse® (+)—offering tailored options to meet your aesthetic goals. If you and your provider decide Radiesse® is right for you, they’ll create a personalized treatment plan based on your desired outcome.
Radiesse® and Radiesse® (+) are FDA-approved to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (the creases extending from the corner of your nose to the corner of your mouth). Additionally, Radiesse® is approved to correct volume loss in the backs of the hands, offering a versatile solution for both facial and hand rejuvenation.
Radiesse® is injected under the skin in a quick procedure that can be completed over a lunch hour, delivering nearly immediate results that refresh your appearance in minutes.
Radiesse® can be used to treat specific areas like smile lines and deep nasolabial folds, which can otherwise give your face a tired or aged look. It’s designed to add volume and smooth these concerns effectively.
Radiesse® requires little to no downtime, making it an ideal choice for patients seeking fast, subtle enhancements. Immediately upon injection
How Does Radiesse® Filler Work?
Radiesse®:
Radiesse® is a dermal filler FDA-approved to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. It’s also used to correct volume loss in the backs of the hands. Deep smile lines, or nasolabial folds, can make your face appear tired and aged, but Radiesse® restores volume to these areas, instantly smoothing wrinkles and revitalizing your look. When injected into the hands, it replenishes lost volume, reducing the prominence of veins and wrinkles for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Radiesse® (+):
Radiesse® (+) offers the same volumizing benefits as Radiesse® with the added comfort of lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to enhance your experience during treatment. Like Radiesse®, it’s FDA-approved to address moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, delivering immediate smoothing and long-lasting results.
What Should You Expect During Treatment?
Radiesse® injections are administered under the skin using fine needles in a quick procedure that fits easily into your schedule. Our providers prioritize precision and comfort, ensuring the filler is placed exactly where it’s needed to achieve your desired look.
