Calcium hydroxylapatite: Radiesse

Min S Ahn. Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am. 2007 Feb.

Abstract

Among the array of choices for aesthetic soft tissue fillers, Radiesse occupies a unique niche as a safe, easily administered, "semi-permanent" material. Composed of calcium hydroxylapatite in a gel matrix, it has a proven safety profile and has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for use in the nasolabial folds and for HIV lipoatrophy. Radiesse have evolved quickly into a effective filler for moderately deep facial folds with high patient and physician approval.
