Aura offers Radiesse® – the next-generation product for correcting the signs of aging or adding natural contours to the face – without invasive surgery. Radiesse® can be used to fill moderate to severe lines and wrinkles such as the nasolabial folds, the lines that run from the nose to the corner of the mouth. Radiesse® can also be used to contour the nose, fill cheeks, enhance cheek bones or the chin, and rejuvenate the hands by adding volume to deliver a more youthful appearance.
What Is Radiesse®?
Radiesse® is a dermal filler that is made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel that is injected into the skin through a simple and minimally invasive procedure. Radiesse® works with your own body in a remarkable way. Upon injection, it immediately adds volume to safely contour, correct, and beautify facial features. And unlike other fillers, Radiesse®continues to work over time. With its patented microsphere technology, it starts a process called collagenesis, stimulating your body to produce new collagen and encouraging collagen to grow around the injection area.
How Does Radiesse® Work?
Radiesse® is made of unique, patented, calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a water-based gel carrier. When injected into the skin, these microspheres initially perform as a filler – they immediately provide facial volume for a soft, natural look. The transformation is noticeable right away. Over time, your body gradually absorbs the gel carrier, but the very tiny, smooth microspheres remain.

Is Radiesse® Safe?
Radiesse® is an FDA-approved dermal filler and has been clinically tested extensively for years and published in peer-reviewed medical journals, along with independent physician studies that have proven that Radiesse® dermal filler is safe, effective, and long-lasting.
Radiesse® is made from a biocompatible substance that’s identical to what’s naturally found in the body. There’s virtually no risk of allergic reaction, and there have been very few side effects reported in clinical trials and actual use. After injection, Radiesse® will not migrate to other parts of the body. Over time, the microspheres contained in Radiesse® degrade naturally into calcium and phosphate ions that are safely metabolized by the body’s own processes.
