Candidates for Radiesse™ Treatment

Radiesse™ injectable treatment is a cosmetic filler used to fight the signs of facial aging. Providing both immediate and long-lasting results, Radiesse™ is an effective treatment for facial wrinkles, lines, and folds, especially around the nose and mouth. Radiesse™ not only plumps up the skin, it actually stimulates new collagen growth, and since the active ingredient in Radiesse™ occurs naturally in the body, there is virtually no risk of an allergic reaction. Find out below who is a candidate for Radiesse™ treatment and how you can find a physician in your area.

General Radiesse™ Treatment Requirements

Candidates for Radiesse™ cosmetic treatment are generally between the ages of 35 and 60 and experiencing mild to moderate facial aging. Patients experiencing extreme signs of aging may be better suited for a face lift or other surgical options. Other candidates for Radiesse™ treatment include patients suffering vocal cord insufficiency or oral and maxillofacial defects. Radiesse™ is also an effective treatment for facial lipoatrophy (facial wasting) in patients with HIV. No allergy testing is required before Radiesse™ treatment.

Radiesse ™ Compared to Restylane® and Other Fillers

Radiesse™, compared to Restylane® and other cosmetic fillers, has longer-lasting results. The effects of Radiesse™ injections tend to last one to two years. Restylane® treatments usually need to be re-administered after about six months. Collagen injections usually only last about three months but may last up to six months. In addition, Radiesse™ treatments offer the following advantages over Restylane® or collagen injections:

• Radiesse™ results last, on average, more than one year.
• Radiesse™ stimulates new natural collagen production.
• Radiesse™ treatments require less frequent injections and touchups.

Radiesse™ treatments, however, are generally more expensive than other dermal fillers. Learn more about Radiesse™ cost and financing options.

Medical and Health Considerations

Through years of clinical studies and independent research, Radiesse™ has been proven to be safe and effective. There is no need for an allergy test prior to Radiesse™ filler injections since the microspheres are comprised of calcium hydroxylapatite, a substance naturally found in the body.
