Healthy young skin contains collagen that gives it volume, flexibility, and strength. As part of the aging process, the skin’s natural collagen breaks down resulting in the loss of facial volume. This loss of elasticity and volume results in wrinkles, facial lines, and skin laxity that rob the skin of its youthful appearance. RADIESSE® stimulates the skin’s production of collagen to restore volume in the skin, smooth away wrinkles and improve skin quality in the long-term.

PRODUCT PROFILE
RADIESSE® – instant volume lifting and contouring
RADIESSE® is an injectable dermal filler that temporarily adds volume to help smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and gives an immediate lifting and firming effect of the skin. Once injected, RADIESSE® directly provides volume and lift needed to diminish the signs of aging because of the calcium-based microspheres and gel that comprise the product. Both the gel and the microspheres are completely broken down by the body over time.
RADIESSE® – a collagen stimulator
The unique formulation of RADIESSE® stimulates the production of new collagen, which results in increased volume that may last a year or more in many patients*. Thanks to this method of wrinkle correction, RADIESSE® is more and more becoming the favorite injectable filler of many patients and medical professionals.
* Individual results are dependent on age, skin type, indications, lifestyle, metabolism and, of course, the area treated.
Enhanced patient satisfaction
With just one syringe, many patients obtain an immediate and long-lasting youthful appearance. A RADIESSE® treatment is simple, quick, comfortable and convenient and provides immediately visible results that last.
RADIESSE® offers:
- Immediate correction of moderate to severe wrinkles
- Immediate lifting and contouring effects
- Stimulates the production of the skin’s natural collagen*
- Long-term improvement of skin quality*
- Feels soft and looks natural
- Provides results that last a year or more in many patients*

MODE OF ACTION
RADIESSE® – how it works
Once injected, RADIESSE® provides immediate volume and correction but also continues to work by stimulating the skin to produce its own natural collagen. Over time, the gel is absorbed and the body metabolizes the CaHA-microspheres, leaving behind only the skin’s natural collagen.
Once injected, RADIESSE® shows an immediate one-to-one correction and lifting effect. It can instantly soften your smile lines, replace lost volume in your cheeks, or contour your jawline.
RADIESSE® Lidocaine significantly reduces pain during treatment and throughout the first hour after treatment.4
Over the following weeks, RADIESSE® microspheres stimulate the skin to produce new collagen for a soft, natural look.
Collagen net
Newly formed collagen surrounds the microspheres. The microspheres are eventually metabolized by the body’s normal processes.
The new collagen provides a long-term effect that may last for a year or more in many patients.*

TREATMENT AREAS
Are wrinkles giving away your age?
RADIESSE® provides an instant lift by restoring lost volume in areas of the lower face, effectively treating moderate to severe wrinkles and folds. And it continues to work with your body, stimulating the natural production of collagen for a more refreshed appearance that can last up to a year or more in many patients.1-3
Smile Lines
For most of us, smile lines — also known as nasolabial folds — are nothing to smile about. These lines and creases run from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth and are the result of the loss of facial volume and skin elasticity as we age. These nasolabial folds can make you look older, tired or unhappy—even though you feel youthful on the inside.
Fortunately, treatment with RADIESSE® can help restore lost volume and stimulate your own collagen production, minimizing the appearance of those pesky facial lines, wrinkles, and folds that mask our smiles. Best of all, results are clinically proven to last a year or more in most patients.
Marionette Lines
Even if you have never heard of marionette lines, you probably know what they are. These lines that run straight downwards from the corners of the mouth can make you look unhappy. Marionette lines form as facial volume begins to deplete and deeper creases begin to form below the mouth. Fillers for your face can make a difference.
Fortunately, treatment with RADIESSE® can help restore lost volume and stimulate your own collagen production, minimizing the appearance of those pesky facial lines, wrinkles, and folds that mask our smiles. Best of all, results are clinically proven to last a year or more in most patients.
Pre-Jowl Fold
A little-known area of the face that can make a big impact on the way we look is the pre-jowl fold area, or the pre-jowl fold sulcus, which is the areas on either side of our chin. Facial volume loss associated with the aging process results in sagging of the skin in other facial areas and leaves the pre-jowl fold area hollow. Fillers for your face can make a difference.
Fortunately, treatment with RADIESSE® can help restore lost volume and stimulate your own collagen production, minimizing the appearance of those pesky facial lines, wrinkles, and folds that mask our smiles. Best of all, results are clinically proven to last a year or more in most patients.1-3
Corners of the Mouth
The corners of the mouth, also known as the oral commissures, can turn downward as you age and lose volume below the mouth. This downturned appearance of the mouth can make you look like you are frowning or even mad. In addition, volume loss in this area often leads to the formation or the deepening of already-formed marionette lines. Fillers for your face can make a difference.
Fortunately, treatment with RADIESSE® can help restore lost volume and stimulate your own collagen production, minimizing the appearance of those pesky facial lines, wrinkles, and folds that mask our smiles. Best of all, results are clinically proven to last a year or more in most patients.1-3
Chin Wrinkles
This pesky wrinkle, forming horizontally across the chin can really distract from the smile. Caused by facial volume loss, chin wrinkles appear gradually over time. A facial filler can make a difference.

RADIESSE FOR HANDS
Radiesse Gives Hands New Volume
Dr. José Raúl Montes has been selected to be the Certified Trainer for the use of Radiesse for hand rejuvenation.
The latest advances in aesthetic technology can hide visible bones and tendons and make your hands smooth and youthful again. If you feel that your hands don’t match your overall appearance, it may be time to do something about it. Radiesse hands restores volume and adds structure to the skin. The unique, innovative and safe gel formula contains calcium microspheres (CaHA) which stimulate the body to produce collagen, resulting in immediate and long-lasting volume augmentation.
Radiesse is for your hand rejuvenation
Our hands are an important part of the way we communicate and present ourselves. Beautiful hands give us the confidence to express ourselves in any situation. However, hands are often the first place to show the signs of ageing and can become a frequently underrated problem area not only in thin and athletic women: the skin on our hands is thinner than that on our face and is constantly exposed to the sun and its photo-damaging effects, making it more sensitive to the ageing process.
How do you rate your hands?
This scientific scale shows the ageing process of our hands (from 0 = no volume loss to 4 = very severe volume loss).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is RADIESSE made from?
RADIESSE is made of tiny calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. The calcium microspheres are similar to minerals found naturally in the body so allergy testing is not required. Over time, the body absorbs the microspheres and gel, leaving behind only natural collagen.
Please note that RADIESSE is contraindicated in patients with severe allergies manifested by a history of anaphylaxis, with a history or presence of multiple severe allergies.
How does RADIESSE work?
Once injected, RADIESSE plumps the skin (face and hands) to give the appearance of a smoother surface. Over time, RADIESSE works to stimulate the body to produce collagen naturally. Ultimately the body absorbs the product and leaves behind the natural collagen for long-lasting results.
Where can RADIESSE be injected?
RADIESSE can be injected in the following locations*:
- Smile lines: also called the nasolabial folds, are the lines that run from the corners of the nose to the corners of the mouth
- Marionette lines: the lines that run downward from the corners of the mouth
- Corners of the mouth: also called the oral commissure, if these are turned downward it can make you look as though you’re frowning
- Pre-jowl fold: the area on either side of the chin, where skin can sag due to loss of facial volume
- Chin wrinkles: horizontal lines that can form on your chin and distract from your smile
*RADIESSE is FDA-approved for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds.
What makes RADIESSE different from other leading dermal fillers?
RADIESSE is the only dermal filler available composed of calcium-based microspheres, and has been shown to stimulate the natural production of collagen, for results that may last up to a year or more in many patients. Additionally, in clinical studies with leading hyaluronic acid injectable dermal fillers, results showed that RADIESSE patients were more satisfied with their results than patients treated with other leading wrinkle fillers. In addition, 30% less RADIESSE may be needed for correction when compared to Perlane® injectable gel.
How is treatment with RADIESSE performed? Is it painful?
RADIESSE is injected under the skin in a quick procedure that can be done over the lunch hour. RADIESSE is also FDA-approved to mix with lidocaine (an anesthetic), which means the procedure will be much more comfortable. In fact, in a clinical study, 90% of patients treated reported significant pain reduction when injected with RADIESSE mixed with lidocaine.
How soon will I see results with RADIESSE and how long will they last?
Immediately upon injection, RADIESSE restores volume to smooth out the signs of aging. The natural-looking results may last up to a year or more in many patients.
Who can benefit from treatment with RADIESSE?
RADIESSE is FDA-approved for correction of moderate to severe wrinkles and folds. Talk to your doctor about what your specific treatment needs may be and to see if RADIESSE is right for you.
Please see Important Safety Information (official website).
What are the side effects of treatment with RADIESSE?
The most common adverse events include bruising, redness, swelling, pain, tenderness and itching. These side effects generally last for a short time and are mild in nature. These are not all of the possible side effects with RADIESSE. Tell your healthcare provider about any side effects that bother you or do not go away.
Is there anyone who should not use RADIESSE?
RADIESSE should not be used in patients with severe allergies manifested by a history of anaphylaxis, a history or presence of multiple severe allergies or patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the components.
The safety of RADIESSE has not been established in patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding or under the age of 18.
What is the most important information I should know about RADIESSE?
As with all procedures that involve an injection through the skin, there is a risk of infection. Do not use RADIESSE if you have a skin infection until it has healed.
The microspheres in RADIESSE can be seen in X-rays and CT Scans. It is very important that you tell your healthcare provider that you have had RADIESSE dermal filler injected into your face.
If you have a history of herpes, you may experience a herpes breakout after receiving RADIESSE.
For approximately 24 hours after treatment:
- Avoid significant movement or massage of the treated area
- Do not apply makeup
- Avoid extensive sun or heat exposure
