Radiesse® (1×1,5ml)

Description

Radiesse® is a brand name for a dermal filler that is used to smooth out facial wrinkles and folds, enhance facial features, and restore volume to the face. It is made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier.

When injected into the skin, Radiesse® provides immediate volume and correction, while also stimulating the body’s natural collagen production to gradually enhance the results over time. The results of Radiesse® injections typically last for 12-18 months, although individual results may vary.

Radiesse® is commonly used to treat smile lines, marionette lines, and other facial wrinkles and folds. It can also be used to enhance facial features such as the cheeks and chin, and to improve the appearance of aging hands.

As with any medical procedure, there are risks associated with Radiesse® injections, including swelling, redness, bruising, and infection. It is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits of this treatment with a qualified healthcare professional before undergoing the procedure.

Areas of Use

Radiesse® is a versatile dermal filler that can be used to address a variety of cosmetic concerns. Here are some of the areas where Radiesse® can be used:

1. Nasolabial folds: These are the lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Radiesse® can be used to fill in these lines and restore a more youthful appearance to the face.
2. Marionette lines: These are the lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin. Radiesse® can be used to fill in these lines and provide a more lifted appearance to the face.
3. Cheeks: Radiesse® can be used to add volume to the cheeks and enhance the contours of the face.
4. Chin: Radiesse® can be used to add definition to the chin and improve the overall balance of the face.
5. Jawline: Radiesse® can be used to contour the jawline and improve the appearance of a weak or undefined jaw.
6. Temples: Radiesse® can be used to restore volume to the temples, which can become hollow or sunken with age.
7. Hands: Radiesse® can be used to add volume to the back of the hands and improve the appearance of aging hands.

It is important to note that the specific areas where Radiesse® can be used may vary depending on the individual’s unique facial anatomy and cosmetic goals. A qualified healthcare professional can help determine the best treatment plan for each patient.

Ingredients

Radiesse® is a dermal filler that is made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. Here is a breakdown of the ingredients in Radiesse®:

1. Calcium Hydroxylapatite Microspheres: This is the active ingredient in Radiesse®. It is a biocompatible and biodegradable substance that is derived from calcium and phosphate ions, which are naturally found in the body.
2. Gel Carrier: The microspheres are suspended in a gel carrier made of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and glycerin. This gel provides a smooth consistency and helps to distribute the microspheres evenly throughout the skin.
3. Sterile Water for Injection: This is used to dilute the gel and make it easier to inject into the skin.

All of the ingredients in Radiesse® are FDA-approved and have a long-standing safety record in the medical field. The microspheres are designed to gradually break down over time and are eventually metabolized by the body, leaving behind natural collagen to help maintain the results of the treatment.
