Radiesse™ is the first calcium hydroxylapatite injectable used for the treatment of wrinkles, scars and skin contours. Radiesse™ consists of calcium hydroxylapatite microsheres suspended in carboxymethylcellulose gel. Its main advantages are it is long lasting and does not require skin testing because it is the same component found in our bones and teeth.
Radiesse™ can be injected into the skin under topical or regional anesthesia. Using Radiesse™, we can immediately improve the appearance of deeper frown lines and furrows for approximately one year.
With all fillers, Dr. Isaac recommends you avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, all aspirin related products (NSAID's), Vitamin E or gingko for 7 days prior to treatment. Tylenol is okay!
