RADIESSE®

Administering Techniques

Proper administration of RADIESSE® requires precision and expertise:

1. Comprehensive facial assessment to determine optimal injection points
2. Selection of an appropriate needle or cannula based on the treatment area
3. Linear threading, fanning, or cross-hatching techniques, depending on the target zone
4. Gentle massage post-injection to ensure even distribution
5. Strategic layering for optimal structural support

Advanced practitioners may employ combination approaches, using RADIESSE® for deep volume restoration complemented by other modalities for surface refinement.

RADIESSE® Product Range

RADIESSE® products include:

• RADIESSE® 1.5ml: Standard formulation ideal for moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds
• RADIESSE® (+) 1.5ml with Lidocaine: Enhanced comfort during treatment with integrated anesthetic
• RADIESSE® 3ml: Larger volume option perfect for extensive treatments or multiple areas in a single session

Each RADIESSE® product is supplied in a ready-to-use syringe with a Luer-lock fitting for secure needle attachment.

Side Effects

While generally well-tolerated, potential side effects of RADIESSE® may include:

• Temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site
• Mild discomfort or tenderness that typically resolves within days
• Nodule formation (rare, usually technique-dependent)
• Asymmetry if the product is unevenly distributed
• Possible vascular complications when administered by inexperienced providers

Most adverse effects are mild and transient, resolving without intervention within a week of treatment.

RADIESSE® vs Competition

RADIESSE® sets itself apart from competitors through these advantages:

• Longer-lasting results than standard hyaluronic acid fillers
• Dual action of immediate correction plus biostimulation
• Higher G’ (elasticity) provides superior lifting capacity
• Natural-looking results without the risk of hydrophilic swelling
• Versatility across facial and hand applications
• Cost-effectiveness due to reduced frequency of maintenance treatments

Unlike hyaluronic acid products that primarily fill, RADIESSE® rebuilds the facial structure through collagen induction, addressing the underlying causes of aging rather than just the symptoms.
