Health Canada has approved Merz Aesthetics’ Radiesse for the treatment of moderate wrinkles in the décolleté area.
Radiesse (Calcium Hydroxylapatite) is a regenerative biostimulator.
This approval was supported by a large, multicentre clinical trial of Radiesse that demonstrated a significant improvement in the appearance of moderate décolleté wrinkles.
“The décolleté is notoriously difficult to treat. Skin in this area is thin, chronically sun-exposed, low in sebaceous glands, prone to accelerated loss of elasticity, and tends to form more complex scars than other regions,” says Dusan Sajic, MD, PhD, a Canadian Dermatologist, in a news release. “Health Canada’s new approval of Radiesse for this area is therefore exciting and welcome news. It is a true biostimulator that has almost 20 years of safety data for the face, and an agent we turn to regularly in our clinic for this area. So, it is great to be able to officially use this amazing product on the décolleté as well.”
Radiesse’s biostimulatory effects work by triggering collagen, elastin, and micro-vasculature renewal, thickening the tissue and softening lines, Dr. Sajic explains. “It is a powerful treatment that gives natural-looking, radiant results. This new approval now gives us a proven, regenerative tool to rejuvenate the skin on the chest.”
