RADIESSE^® and RADIESSE^® (+) are cosmetic injectables made up of tiny calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres which are suspended in a natural water-based gel. These calcium-based microspheres are similar to minerals found naturally in your bones and teeth. Over time, RADIESSE^® begins to stimulate the production of the body’s natural collagen and elastin for a sustained effect.^1,2,8

Your healthcare professional will explain the treatment options available and discuss the best one for you. RADIESSE^® treatment is a well-tolerated, minimally invasive procedure, with virtually no recovery time.^2-6

The effect will be visible immediately after injection, with continued improvements as collagen, elastin, and other vital components of healthy-looking skin are gradually produced.*^6,7

Make sure to follow post-procedural care as advised by your healthcare professional to avoid complications.⁸

*“Healthy-looking skin” is defined by regeneration of Collagen I and III, elastin, proteoglycans, and angiogenesis.

How long the effect of a RADIESSE^® treatment lasts is dependent on the individual. There are many factors to consider, such as the structure of the skin, your lifestyle, and age. Studies show that, on average, results last up to 2 years.^9,10

The procedure can be repeated. Please consult with your healthcare professional about the appropriate RADIESSE^® treatment for you.

As with any injection, patients may experience side effects such as mild irritation, swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. These possible side effects are usually mild and short-term, disappearing within the first few weeks. Numbness may take 4 to 6 weeks to resolve.⁸

If any other side effects appear, such as any discolouration, or you feel unwell, please consult your healthcare professional as soon as possible.

Ask your healthcare professional if RADIESSE^® is right for you.
