| Radiesse® |
| Radiesse® is a safe, next generation cosmetic dermal filler that is setting a new standard for the correction of facial lines and wrinkles such as nasolabial folds. Radiesse® fills and corrects smile lines, nasolabial folds and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. Radiesse is made of unique calcium-based Radiesse® microspheres suspended in a natural gel that is injected into the skin through a simple, safe and minimally invasive procedure. Radiesse® treatments deliver a natural look that lasts. |

 How does Radiesse® work? |
| Radiesse® works below the skin’s surface. Tiny calcium-based microspheres form a “scaffold” to support and stimulate the growth of your own collagen to create a natural, full, youthful look. Radiesse® does more than just temporarily fill-in facial lines and wrinkles - it rebuilds your skin’s foundation, without the risks associated with permanent fillers. |
| |
| How soon can I expect results? How long will the results last? |
| The results are immediate. Radiesse® continues to deliver results as it works with your body to stimulate new collagen and regenerate tissue. Results typically last a year or more, longer than the former leading cosmetic dermal filler, saving you time and money. Since results may vary, be sure to discuss your expectations with your doctor. |
| |
| How many treatments will I need? |
| Many patients will achieve their desired result after just one treatment. Because Radiesse® is a longer-term cosmetic enhancement, and to ensure your satisfaction with the treatment, your physician might schedule a follow-up visit, where a touch-up treatment might be recommended. |
| |
| Is Radiesse permanent? |
No. Treatment results are relatively long-lasting, but not permanent. Over time the tiny calcium-based microspheres gradually break down into basic calcium and phosphate ions which are safely and naturally absorbed into your body, leaving your own collagen in their place. |
