What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is a dermal filler that temporarily adds volume to help smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (the creases that extend from the corner of your nose to the corner of your mouth).

​

What is Radiesse made from?

Radiesse is made of tiny calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. The calcium microspheres are similar to minerals found naturally in the body so allergy testing is not required. Over time, the body absorbs the microspheres and gel, leaving behind only natural collagen.

​

Where can Radiesse be injected?

Radiesse can be injected in the following locations:

• Smile lines: also called the nasolabial folds, are the lines that run from the corners of the nose to the corners of the mouth

• Marionette lines: the lines that run downward from the corners of the mouth

• Corners of the mouth: also called the oral commissure, if these are turned downward it can make you look as though you're frowning

• Pre-jowl fold: the area on either side of the chin, where skin can sag due to loss of facial volume

• Chin wrinkles: horizontal lines that can form on your chin and distract from your smile​

​

When will I see results?

Immediately upon injection, Radiesse restores volume to smooth out the signs of aging. The natural-looking results may last up to a year or more in many patients.
