Why choose Radiesse?

Radiesse was first introduced as a ground-breaking solution for soft tissue augmentation. Its active component, calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), is a substance naturally found in human bones, making it highly biocompatible and minimising the risk of allergic reactions. This filler works by providing a scaffold that supports collagen synthesis, with the CaHA microspheres eventually being absorbed by the body, leaving behind new connective tissue.

Frequently Asked Questions about Radiesse

What is Radiesse made from?

Radiesse consists of microspheres of calcium hydroxylapatite, a type of mineral that is naturally present in human bones, suspended in a water-based gel.

How long do results from Radiesse last?

Results can last between 12 to 18 months, varying by individual metabolism, treatment area, and lifestyle factors.

Is the injection procedure painful?

Radiesse injections are generally well-tolerated. The use of Radiesse with lidocaine helps alleviate discomfort during the procedure.

Typical side effects include temporary swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection site. These effects typically resolve within a few days.

Is there anyone who should not use Radiesse?

Individuals with severe allergies, bleeding disorders, or abnormal scar formation should consult their doctor before considering Radiesse.
