Uses and Limitations
RADIESSE® wrinkle filler is a safe injectable implant that is aiming to set a new standard for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds. RADIESSE wrinkle filler is approved for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth. In addition, RADIESSE wrinkle filler is approved for the restoration and correction of the signs of HIV-associated facial lipoatrophy. It fills and volumizes to correct the signs of facial fat loss and restore a natural look.
And RADIESSE wrinkle filler is now FDA approved to enhance patient comfort with our Accessory Kit for lidocaine mixing. In a recent clinical study, 90% of patients reported significant pain reduction using RADIESSE wrinkle filler mixed with lidocaine.1
Additional Clearances
Vocal Fold Insufficiency
RADIESSE implant is injected lateral to the vocal folds and the vocalis muscle. The bulking effect of the implant medializes the vocal folds, facilitating speech and preventing inadvertent aspiration of liquids, as well as correcting shortness of breath caused by laryngeal incompetence.
The RADIESSE injection procedure can be performed percutaneously or trans-orally with endoscopic guidance, with local or topical anesthetic as required. Since the procedure can be performed in your office with the patient awake and able to talk, you can immediately assess the patient's speech and more accurately determine the amount of material required for optimal correction.
