INDICATION:RADIESSE® and RADIESSE® (+) Injectable Implants are FDA-approved for subdermal implantation for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. RADIESSE® is also indicated for hand augmentation to correct volume loss in the dorsum of the hands.

Please see additional Important Safety Information inside and on back page.

Designed to better support how you use RADIESSE® in your practice.

RADIESSE and RADIESSE (+) twin packs are available in the 1.5cc syringe size

Each box contains 2 syringes sealed in individual pouches

Slim-line box design that requires less storage space

Eco-friendly packaging that uses less paper and reduces waste

INTRODUCING THE NEW RADIESSE® AND RADIESSE® (+) TWIN PACKS: 2 SYRINGES IN 1 BOX EQUALS TOTAL TREATMENT CONVENIENCE

NEW RADIESSE® PACKAGING DESIGNED WITH YOU AND YOUR PATIENTS IN MIND

LIFT, CONTOUR, AND REJUVENATE FOR A MORE YOUTHFUL, NATURAL LOOK3-5

A highly elastic, viscous filler for immediate, effective lift that stays in place6,7

Whether it’s face or hands, many RADIESSE treatments may require more than one syringe. Which is why we have developed the new RADIESSE twin pack.

Viscosity and elasticity help predict a filler’s ability to enhance volume and achieve lift for a more youthful appearance. These characteristics influence both how the filler spreads into the skin during injection as well as the filler’s ability to withstand the skin’s forces during facial movement.6,7

Less RADIESSE may be required for full correction, giving your practice and your patients more value with each syringe. Moreover, most other fillers are packaged with 1 cc (1 mL) of filler per syringe. So with RADIESSE, you get more filler to work with from the start. And because now each twin pack includes 3 cc of RADIESSE, each box of RADIESSE may go even further during treatment.

† Multicenter, controlled, blinded, randomized, multiarm, 16-month study of 205 patients with moderate-to-severe nasolabial folds comparing RADIESSE to JUVÉDERM® Ultra Injectable Gel and Perlane® Injectable Gel. Physicians injected enough material to achieve optimal correction. A total of 189 patients received touch-up treatment at 4 months. Total treatment volume shown (initial plus touch-up volume).2

Majority of today’s patients use 2 syringes per treatment

Warnings (continued):Do not overcorrect (overfill) a contour deficiency with these products.

The safety and effectiveness of RADIESSE or RADIESSE (+) in the following situations has not been established:

• Use in the lips. There have been published reports of nodules associated with the use of these products in the lips.

• In patients with very severe loss of fatty tissue with marked visibility of veins and tendons.

• Injection volumes over 3 cc of RADIESSE® per hand in a treatment session

Avoid injection into veins or tendons in the hand, as this may weaken tendons and cause tendon rupture or cause embolization or thrombosis.

Injection into the dorsum of the hand may cause adverse events that last for more than 14 days, and may result in temporary difficulty performing activities (48% of study patients reported this adverse event). Fitzpatrick Skin Types IV-VI may have an increased risk (68% of Fitzpatrick Skin Types IV-VI reported this event). RADIESSE® may cause nodules, bumps or lumps in the dorsum of the hand (12% reported this event) and can last up to 1 year.

Increased bruising is associated with higher volume injection. Retreatment with RADIESSE® of volumes greater than approximately 1.6cc per hand in a treatment session can result in increased adverse events (redness, pain, swelling, and difficulty performing activities).Please see additional Important Safety Information on back page.

Treatment volume: 1 syringe (1.5 cc) per hand.* Individual results may vary. Unretouched photos of actual patients. Treatment volume for the lower face: 3 syringes (4.5 cc). Treatment volume per hand: 1 syringe (1.5 cc).

Provides outstanding lift capacity and stays where you place it

Ideal for restoring a youthful appearance to the lower face

A high viscosity filler8:

• Remains where it is injected with less migrating.• Maintains a more solid form than a filler with a

low viscosity.

RADIESSE® and RADIESSE® (+) IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:

Contraindications: These products are contraindicated for patients with severe allergies manifested by a history of anaphylaxis, or history or presence of multiple severe allergies; patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the components; and patients with bleeding disorders. RADIESSE® (+) is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to lidocaine or anesthetics of the amide type.

Warnings: Introduction of product into the vasculature may lead to embolization, occlusion of the vessels, ischemia, or infarction. Take extra care when injecting soft tissue fillers, for example inject the product slowly and apply the least amount of pressure necessary. Rare but serious adverse events associated with the intravascular injection of soft tissue fillers in the face have been reported and include temporary or permanent vision impairment, blindness, cerebral ischemia or cerebral hemorrhage, leading to stroke, skin necrosis, and damage to underlying facial structures. Immediately stop the injection if a patient exhibits any of the following symptoms, including changes in vision, signs of a stroke, blanching of the skin, or unusual pain during or shortly after the procedure. Patients should receive prompt medical attention and possibly evaluation by an appropriate health care practitioner specialist should an intravascular injection occur.

Use of these products in any person with active skin inflammation or infection in or near the treatment should be deferred until the inflammatory or infectious process is controlled.

Please see additional Important Safety Information on next page.
