Radiesse is unlike any other product for facial enhancement. It is as remarkable for what it isn't, as for what it is. Radiesse is not silicone or polymetylmethylacrylate beads, materials that are permanent and cannot be removed should problems occur. Radiesse is not a human or animal product, which can cause inflammation and reaction. Nor is it a bovine collagen or a muscle relaxant, both of which produce only temporary results.

Rather, Radiesse is a pure, synthetic compound with a record of safety that extends more than 25 years. It is comprised of microspheres of calcium hydroxylapatite, combined with an aqueous gel. The key element of Radiance is identical to the chemical structure of calcium naturally present in the human body. Throughout its life, Radiance remains soft and flexible and also exceptionally compatible with the body.

Prior to its introduction, the Radiesse formula was extensively tested in the United States and Europe. No reactions or rejections have been reported to date.When injected, the cream-like texture of Radiesse feels soft and natural. Unlike temporary treatments that must be repeated, Radiesse provides years of rejuvenation. It is gradually replaced by the body's own tissue, and slowly dissolves away in approximately seven years.

The formation of lines and creases on the face and the thinning of lips are a natural part of living, not just aging. They occur when the underlying tissues begin to break down. They also result from years of smiling, frowning, squinting or smoking. In other words, these marks of maturity are inevitable. But their permanence need not be. Now you can dramatically minimize lines and creases and restore vitality to your face with Radiesse.

Radiesse is a non-surgical treatment, performed as a simple injection during an office visit to your physician. A numbing, or anesthetic agent, may be applied to the area, after which Radiesse will be injected with a very fine needle designed for cosmetic purposes.

As Radiesse is gently injected, it builds up the tissues of the face, reducing folds and creases and restoring fullness. It does not paralyze or act on the face's muscles. Enhancement with Radiance is relatively painless, and any minor swelling from the injection typically disappears within 24 hours. You can comfortably return to normal activities after your treatment. Best of all, you'll see results immediately and can expect to enjoy them for up to three or more years.
