1 Million Syringes Served: Radiesse Dermal Filler

Bioform Medical broke the news last week about a landmark achievement; 1 million syringes of Radiesse dermal filler have been shipped since 2002.

Radiesse is the company’s main product and most commonly used to treat facial wrinkles, folds and facial lipoatrophy.

Based in San Mateo, California, BioForm has been incorporated since 1999.  Radiesse has been available for medical aesthetic use in Europe since 2002, but in 2006 the United States FDA expanded its approved use to include  facial cosmetic applications, as well as reconstructive and therapeutic uses.

About 10,000 medical and cosmetic surgery practices have received the product, an achievement that surely defines Radiesse as one of the most popular dermal fillers on the world market.  The only comparable fillers that have achieved such widespread appeal are those composed of collagen or hyaluronic acid, both of which have been on the market longer.
