Frequently Asked Questions.
Will I need a skin test?
No pre-testing is required due to Radiesse's unique natural product formulation and biocompatibility profile.
Are there any side effects?
There are few reported side effects. However, some common injection-related reactions may occur, such as redness, swelling, pain, itching, discoloration and tenderness at the injection site.
What if I am taking medication?
Radiesse should not be implanted in patients while on an aspirin regimen or while taking other medications that could inhibit the healing process.Please consult your physician for more information.
Does it hurt?
Patient reactions vary, therefore injections may be accompanied by either a topical or injectable anesthetic.Please consult your physician for more information.
What is Radiesse composed of?
Radiesse is composed of synthetic calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier.
CaHA is a biomaterial with over twenty years of use in orthopedics, neurosurgery, dentistry, and ophthalmology, and is the primary mineral constituent of bone and teeth. The semi-solid nature of Radiesse is created by suspending CaHA in a common water based carrier, also used in a large array of products.
Because CaHA has similar characteristics to bone and teeth, it is naturally compatible with the body. Radiesse is synthetic and man-made, similar to calcium phosphate. It has been tested extensively in clinical trials since 1995 with good safety and efficacy results.
Can Radiesse be injected over other implants?
Radiesse should not be implanted in patients with other implants or materials still in place.
How many treatments will I require?
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 a touch-up to achieve an optimal correction.
Is Radiesse permanent?
No. The gel carrier dissipates over a few months allowing for new tissue infiltration.The CaHA particles gradually break down and are metabolized over time.
Will Radiesse become hard or noticeable to the touch?
No. Radiesse will remain soft and pliable and will take on the characteristics of the surrounding tissue.
How long will Radiesse last?
The microspheres of CaHA have been shown to last up to seven years clinically. In facial applications, Radiesse should provide a correction that lasts around two years. Individual results may vary, affected by age, skin type, lifestyle and muscle activity
Is Radiesse approved?
Yes. Radiesse has approval in Canada, a CE Mark certification for facial plastic surgery, among others, and a number of U.S. FDA clearances.
How quickly can I return to my normal activities?
Approximately 24 hours following injection of Radiesse, most swelling or redness will have subsided. Some patients return to work immediately following injection, while others may need 24 hours.
Will Radiesse appear on an x-ray?
Radiesse might appear on dental x-rays as it is radio-opaque, however, it should not interfere with radiological procedures because it has lower density than bone.
Radiesse is used for:
• Nasolabial Folds
• Post-Rhinoplasty Defects
• Marionette Lines
• Chin & Cheek Augmentation
• Tear Trough
• Mental Crease Augmentation
• Jaw Line Contouring
Biocompatible: synthetic microspheres of calcium hydroxylapatite (a major component of bone) suspended in a carrier gel of sodium carboxymethylcellulose, glycerine and water.
No mixing or special handling required.
Durable microspheres degrade slowly and naturally over years for a longer lasting effect.
25 to 45 micron size spheres are uniformly shaped and sized for consistent placement with no history of migration.
The solid particles slowly degrade through natural mechanisms without foreign body reaction.
Even dispersion of microspheres form scaffolding for natural infiltration of the patients tissue.
No human or animal derived components.
