Radiesse has a standard luer fitting and is packaged in a foil pouch. This injectable subdermal implant is completely biodegradable, non-pyrogenic, latex-free, cohesive, and semi-solid, and it has been steam sterilized. The Radiesse gel eventually dissipates and is replaced by soft tissue, leaving behind the calcium hydroxylapatite, giving the patient non-permanent yet long-term augmentation or restoration of their dermal structure.
