Radiesse is an injectable implant made
up of a combination of a water based gel
carrier and synthetic calcium hydroxylapatite
particles. Calcium hydroxylapatite makes
up the mineral portion of the human bone,
so the synthetic version is compatible with
human tissue. This material has been used
for decades in various surgical fields and
is now approved for use as an alternative
soft tissue filler for facial wrinkles and
folds.
The effect of Radiesse injection is reported
to last 2 to 5 years making it a cost effective
alternative to collagen.
