Radiesse is a sterile, latex-free, non-pyrogenic, semi-solid, cohesive subdermal implant. The principle durable component of Radiesse is synthetic calcium hydroxylapatite, a biomaterial with over twenty years of use in orthopedics, neurosurgery, dentistry, otolaryngology and ophthalmology.
Important information about Radiesse
Calcium hydroxylapatite is the primary mineral constituent of bone and teeth. The semi-solid nature of Radiesse is created by suspending calcium hydroxylapatite in a gel carrier that consists primarily of water (sterile water for injection) and glycerin. The gel structure is formed by the addition of a small amount of sodium carboxymethylcellulose. The gel is dissipated in vivo and replaced with collagen and other soft tissue ingrowth, while the calcium hydroxylapatite remains at the site of injection to form a scaffold for the new tissue formation. The result is intended to be long-term soft tissue
