Radiesse is calcium
based dermal filler widely used in cosmetic treatments across the world. The
drug is a latex free, non-pyrogenic injectable implant made up of synthetic
Calcium hydroxylapatite. The drug contains microspheres of CaHA in a gel
carrier mainly formulated with water and glycerin. The gel
structure of the drug is achieved by the addition of a small amount of
carboxymethylcellulose which is the unique selling point for the product. CaHA is a biodegradable compound, and after
2-3 months carboxymethylcellulose is automatically replaced by collagen.
Radiesse erases facial wrinkles, even deeper set ones with its magical effect. The
drug combines with the collagen of the skin and helps in providing a smoother
skin with a healthy glow. The treatment also increases the flow of nutrition to
the skin cells, improving the overall texture of the skin. Radiesse can help in
tightening of the sagged facial skin caused due to aging. It can also help with
facial fat loss by improving the blood circulation and invigorating the natural
elastin and collagen synthesis process of the skin. Radiesse gives a tightening
effect to the skin which makes the face look slimmer. The drug is available in
two different formulations, Radiesse 0.8 and Radiesse 1.5. Both the variants of
the drug are readily available in the online medical stores.
