Radiesse consists of calcium based microspheres that form a scaffold to support and stimulate growth of the body's own collagen. Over time, the calcium-based fillers breakdown and are safely reabsorbed by the body, without the risks of a permanent implant.

The Radiesse injection solution is made of tiny microspheres of calcium hydroxyapatite. Although calcium hydroxyapatite is naturally found in our teeth and bones, a synthetic version is used for the Radiesse injection. The calcium hydroxyapatite is combined into a water based gel medium to produce a white solution with a creamy texture
