Radiance

Radiance, along with Restylane and Perlane is considered a cosmetic filler. If you are interested in lip augmentation and facial contouring, but you would like something that lasts longer than 6 months and less than forever, then Radiance (Bioform: Franksville, Wisconsin) also known as Radiance fn, may be for you. A calcium hydroxyapatite injectable, Radiance is currently FDA approved for vocal cord injection and as a tissue marker. It is pending FDA approval for lip augmentation.

Radiance is a biocompatible product, which consists of calcium hydroxyapatate microspheres in a gel carrier. Radiance injections last anywhere from 2-5 years. Radiance does not require skin testing because it is the same mineral component as bone and teeth.

Typically, the patient who has never had their lips augmented before might opt for something less permanent such as collagen or Restylane (hyaluronic acid). For those who are confident of the look they want, then Radiance may be just the ticket.

The procedure is done in the office with local anesthesia and takes about 15 minutes. Down time is minimal and the patient can look good in 24 to 36 hours.
