Composition according to the manufacturer
According to the instructions for use from Merz/Radiesse, Radiesse is composed of synthetic calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) (particle size approximately 25–45 µm) in a gel with sterile water, glycerin, and sodium carboxymethylcellulose. The variant with lidocaine also contains lidocaine hydrochloride (amide anesthetic). CaHA is radiopaque and may be visible in imaging studies – mentioned in the product information.
Indications and lips
The IFU mentions, among others, the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles (such as nasolabial wrinkles). For Radiesse (+) with lidocaine, soft tissue augmentation for jawline contouring is also mentioned (adults >21, according to this IFU). Important: Safety and efficacy in the lips have not been established; there are publications about nodules after lip injections. Therefore, Radiesse is not a choice for an alternative to "lip filler" based on this category.
| Variant in the shop | Pack | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Radiesse with lidocaine | 1×1.5 ml | CaHA gel + lidocaine |
| Radiesse without lidocaine | 1×1.5 ml | CaHA gel without lidocaine |
Selection criteria
Within this range of brands, the main difference is with or without lidocaine. For lip products of HA, refer to Lips; for other collagen stimulators, refer to Collagen Stimulators.
CaHA versus hyaluronic acid in practice
Those seeking volume with a reversible HA filler should opt for brands like Restylane or Belotero. Radiesse is chosen when calcium hydroxyapatite is desired, according to the product information. The difference between with/without lidocaine does not alter the base material CaHA, only the presence of the anesthetic in the gel.
For correction of the jawline or wrinkles, follow the IFU of the chosen variant. Radiesse is not a universal filler for all areas of the face. Indications and limitations are in the IFU of the chosen variant.
Choose with or without lidocaine according to protocol preference and follow the product information of the chosen variant.
