Radiesse in Washington DC and Olney

What is Radiesse?

Radiesse^® dermal filler is made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel, and is injected into the skin through a simple and minimally invasive procedure.

Radiesse dermal filler is the ideal choice for total facial contouring. It can restore a healthy, youthful appearance, enhance your existing features, help you defy age and gravity, and increase your confidence – all without invasive surgery or scarring.

Radiesse Dermal Filler Is Naturally Superior

Radiesse dermal filler works with your own body in a remarkable way. Upon injection, it immediately adds volume to safely contour, correct, and beautify facial features.

And unlike other fillers, Radiesse dermal filler continues to work over time. With its patented microsphere technology, it starts a process called collagenesis, stimulating your body to produce new collagen and encouraging collagen to grow around the injection area.

Radiesse dermal filler actually helps your body create its own naturally younger look, setting a new standard in facial contouring and augmentation.

Immediate and long-lasting

Treatment with Radiesse dermal filler is so simple and convenient, it can be performed during a lunch hour. You’ll see the results right away – and these results may last up to a year or more for many patients.

The long-lasting effects of Radiesse dermal filler can reduce the need for retreatment, which saves you time and money compared with other fillers.

How Does Radiesse 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.

Upon injection, Radiesse dermal filler immediately adds volume to facial features.

Macrophages continue to dissolve the gel carrier. Fibroblasts form new collagen.

New resident tissue (collagen) surrounds the CaHA microspheres.

The CaHA microspheres degrade and are phagocytized and metabolized by macrophages.

Even the small fragments of CaHA are decomposed at the implant site, without evidence of migration.

Safe & Effective

Rigorous clinical testing published in peer-reviewed medical journals, along with independent physician studies, have proven that Radiesse^® dermal filler is safe, effective, and long-lasting.

Radiesse dermal filler is made from a biocompatible substance that’s identical to what’s naturally found in the body. There’s virtually no risk of allergic reaction, and there have been very few side effects reported in clinical trials and actual use.

After injection, Radiesse dermal filler will not migrate to other parts of the body. Over time, the microspheres contained in Radiesse dermal filler degrade naturally into calcium and phosphate ions that are safely metabolized by the body’s own processes.

Radiesse dermal filler has received CE mark certification, two FDA approvals, and a number of FDA clearances.

Thousands of doctors worldwide are well trained in the proper techniques and best practices for the administration of Radiesse dermal filler.

Radiesse for Hands

Radiesse is injected under the skin with a thin needle to plump the skin and add volume to the back of your hands.

This top-notch dermal filler is used for hand augmentation to correct volume loss in the dorsum of the hands.

Radiesse provides an immediate volumizing effect and can help to reduce the prominence of tendons and veins in the hands, delivering smooth, natural-looking results that can last up to one year.
