Radiesse 1x1.5 ml with lidocaine

ℹ️ Packaging update in progress: The external packaging of Radiesse+ Lidocaine is being updated. The outer box may differ from the product image — the formula, composition and mechanism of action remain unchanged. Also available without lidocaine.

What is Radiesse and how does it work?

Radiesse is a second-generation tissue stimulator and filler based on calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) — a compound naturally found in human bones and teeth. It acts in two stages:

• Stage 1 — immediate filling effect: The carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) gel matrix acts as a conventional filler — shaping facial contours, restoring volume and correcting wrinkles and folds immediately after injection,
• Stage 2 — long-term collagen stimulation: CaHA microspheres create a scaffold that stimulates fibroblasts to synthesise new collagen, gradually thickening the skin and restoring its elasticity — an effect that persists well beyond the gel itself.

Why calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA)?

• Natural body component — CaHA is biocompatible and well-tolerated,
• No animal-derived ingredients — minimises allergy risk,
• Biodegradable — gradually absorbed by the body,
• Unique collagen-inducing capacity — beyond filling, actively improves skin quality,
• Long-lasting effect — neocollagenesis extends results far beyond conventional HA fillers,
• Established safety history — FDA cleared (2006) · CE marked (2004).

Lidocaine 0.3% – built-in procedural comfort

The lidocaine version contains 0.3% lidocaine hydrochloride — a local anaesthetic that acts immediately upon injection and significantly reduces pain. Allows comfortable application without additional topical anaesthetics or regional blocks.

Indications and treatment areas

• Facial volumetry and contouring — cheeks, chin (projection and definition), jawline,
• Lifting and skin density improvement — restoring firmness and elasticity,
• Deep wrinkles and folds — nasolabial folds, deep mimic lines,
• Marionette lines,
• Brow lifting,
• Non-surgical rhinoplasty — bridge and tip shaping,
• Hand rejuvenation and regeneration,
• Acne scars.

FAQ – questions and answers

How does Radiesse differ from classic HA fillers?

Classic HA fillers provide volume correction and are gradually absorbed without further skin effect. Radiesse acts in two stages: beyond immediate filling, its CaHA microspheres actively stimulate new collagen production by fibroblasts — an effect that builds over months. The skin doesn't simply return to baseline; it develops its own strengthened collagen scaffold.

How long do Radiesse results last?

Results are exceptionally durable thanks to collagen stimulation — typically 12–18 months or longer, depending on treatment area, lifestyle and individual metabolism. Hand rejuvenation effects may persist up to 2 years.

Can Radiesse be diluted for skin biorevitalisation?

Yes — there are established protocols for diluting Radiesse (with saline or lidocaine) for CaHA skin biostimulation treatments that improve skin quality and texture. This is an advanced technique requiring appropriate specialist training.

Why choose the lidocaine version?

Lidocaine 0.3% in the preparation reduces pain during injection — especially valuable for deeper volumetric treatments in more sensitive areas (cheeks, chin, jawline). Built-in anaesthesia eliminates the need for additional topical creams and shortens preparation time.

Radiesse with lidocaine is intended exclusively for use by doctors and cosmetologists trained in aesthetic medicine holding qualifications to perform deeper subcutaneous injections. Apply with a needle or cannula depending on the treatment area. Dosage is determined individually per patient. By purchasing you confirm required professional qualifications.
