Radiesse: The Only CaHA Filler on the Market
Radiesse Lidocaine 1.5ml from Merz Aesthetics is the only approved Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) filler – making it a category of its own: not a pure hyaluronic acid filler, not a pure biostimulator, but both in one.
What is Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA)?
CaHA is a naturally occurring mineral also found in bones and teeth. In Radiesse, CaHA microspheres (25–45 μm) are suspended in a Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) gel.
