Radiesse

Radiesse is an injectable implant, composed of synthetic calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) which is extensively used for plastic and reconstructive surgery including subdermal soft tissue augmentation and restoration of the facial area. It provides a matrix into which the bodies own tissue can grow and maintain the implant in place.
Radiesse has proven to be a very versatile facial contouring product and has demonstrated durable augmentation in areas such as the chin and cheek where a larger volume is required to bulkout the surrounding tissue.

Depending upon the intended augmentation, Radiesse can be used to accentuate facial features that require more definition or soften facial features where less definition is desired.

Radiesse can be used to:
Repair facial defects caused by trauma or a medical condition by providing structure and support for the skin.
Restore bulk to aging tissues.

Correct areas of sizeable soft tissue defects, such as facial deficiencies or tissue loss in the cheek, the components of the Radiesse implant have a long history of safe and effective use for a variety of medical applications. Use of only a relatively small amount of implant will provide results that will make a lasting difference.

Radiesse has demonstrated durable safe results in many patients, and offers substantial benefits when compared to some of the other available soft-tissue implants. No patient pre-testing is required due to Radiesse's unique natural product formulation and biocompatibility profile, Radiesse will remain soft and pliable and will take on the characteristics of the surrounding tissue, to offer a durable cosmetic effect to the patient.

Radiesse should provide a long lasting correction: however individual results may vary, affected by age, skin type, lifestyle and muscle activity.

Some patients may achieve an optimal correction on their first injection. For other patients, variability in the rate of tissue in-growth following resorption of the gel carrier may require additional injections to optimise the required correction.
