Will I need a skin test?
RADIESSE dermal filler is made of a synthetic, biocompatible
substance that’s identical to what’s naturally found in the
body. Because RADIESSE dermal filler does not contain any
animal- or human-derived components, there’s virtually no
risk of an allergic reaction. That means you do not need to
undergo skin allergy testing prior to treatment.

How does RADIESSE dermal filler work?
RADIESSE dermal filler is made of unique, patented, calcium
hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a
water-based gel carrier. When injected into the skin, these
microspheres initially perform as a filler - they
immediately provide facial volume for a soft, natural look.
The transformation is noticeable right away. Over time, your
body will gradually absorb the gel carrier, but the very
tiny, smooth microspheres remain. Once injected, RADIESSE dermal filler starts a process
called neocollagenesis, or the creation of new collagen. It
stimulates collagen production in your own body and
encourages collagen growth around the injection site. In
many cases, results may last up to a year or more.

How soon can I expect results?
You’ll see results immediately after treatment. RADIESSE
dermal filler continues to deliver results over time as it
stimulates your body to produce new collagen. Results may
last up to a year or more in many patients, which may result
in fewer office visits for retreatment. You're ready to get on with
your day! Top

Has RADIESSE dermal filler been reviewed by a Notified Body?
Yes. RADIESSE dermal filler has received CE mark
certification. It has also received two US FDA approvals,
and a number of US FDA clearances). Top

Is RADIESSE dermal filler safe??
In years of rigorous clinical testing and use by physicians
in hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide, RADIESSE
dermal filler has been proven to be safe and effective.
RADIESSE dermal filler is made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA),
a biocompatible substance that’s identical to what’s
naturally found in the body. RADIESSE dermal filler does not
contain any animal- or human-derived components and it has a
minimal risk of allergic reaction. After injection, RADIESSE dermal filler will not migrate to
other parts of the body. Over time, it degrades naturally
into calcium and phosphate ions that are safely metabolized
by the body’s own processes.. Top
-
Will I experience any side effects?
There have been very few side effects reported in clinical
trials and actual usage. However, you may experience some
common injection-related reactions, such as mild irritation,
edema, swelling, itching, discoloration, or tenderness at
the injection site. These conditions typically resolve
themselves within one to two days.

-
What if I’m taking medication??
Patients may need to refrain from taking some
medications and supplements for a few days prior to
treatment. If you’re taking medications or supplements,
please tell your physician before receiving treatment..
