Radiance/Radiesse

An Overview

Previously known as Radiance, Radiesse™ is an injectable dermal filler widely regarded for its extra long-lasting results. Radiesse™ is injected in a gel form that contains calcium and phosphate ions naturally found in human bone tissue. Because this substance is non-toxic and compatible with the body's systems, the skin doesn't have to be tested before a treatment is administered.

During a Radiance/Radiesse™ procedure, a tiny needle is injected deep below the skin's surface, allowing the calcium hydroxyapatite gel to work with the body's own tissue. As a result, Radiesse™ can fill in folds and wrinkles in the skin, or promote soft tissue augmentation in the lips and cheeks. Radiesse can also fill in wrinkles around the eyes to eliminate dark circles.

With steady, virtually risk-free results in wrinkle removal and lip augmentation, Radiesse™ is becoming one of the more popular injectable fillers on the market. It's greatest claim to fame, though, are those long-lasting results, sometimes sustaining for as much as 2-5 years!

Before choosing a Radiesse™ treatment, however, it might be wise to start with another injectable first, to avoid making such a long term commitment to something you are unsure about. Restylane, Juvederm, and Perlane are all excellent, comparable treatments. If you've already had success with any of those, though, you might be ready to step up to Radiesse™.
