The RADIESSE Filler Difference
Compared with other fillers, Radiesse® dermal filler offers significant advantages.
Collagen
- Associated with a relatively high rate of allergic reaction
- Sensitivity testing is required for most brands
- Effects only last an average of three to six months, regardless of the type used
Hyaluronic Acid
- Over-correction required in many areas
- Effects may last up to a year, depending on the brand
Poly-L-lactic Acid
- Requires three to six applications spaced weeks apart
- Effects are not seen until months after the initial treatment
RADIESSE Dermal Filler
- Primary component is identical in composition to the mineral portion of bones and teeth
- Contains no human- or animal-derived components
- Virtually no risk of allergic reaction
- Does not require sensitivity testing prior to treatment
- Delivers immediate correction
- Requires only one treatment for optimal results for most patients (a touchup may be required)
- Can be used to augment large areas, like cheeks or the chin
- Stimulates the body to produce new collagen over time
- Results last up to a year or more for many patients, but are not permanent
- Reduces the need for retreatment
- More cost-effective for many patients
- Soft, natural-looking results that feel like the patient’s own tissue
- Patients report higher satisfaction than with Restylane® filler, and than with either Juvederm™ or Perlane® fillers¹
