Radiesse® is a unique biostimulatory injectable designed to restore volume, improve skin quality, and stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers that primarily replace lost volume, Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. This provides immediate support while encouraging long-term collagen and elastin formation for gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation.
As we age, collagen and elastin decline, leading to skin laxity, volume loss, and changes in facial structure. Radiesse helps address these concerns by reinforcing the skin’s underlying framework. It is commonly used to treat areas such as the cheeks, jawline, chin, temples, and hands, and can also be diluted and used as a collagen-stimulating treatment for skin tightening and texture improvement in areas like the lower face, neck, and décolletage.
What To Expect
Radiesse can be customized depending on your goals. When used as a traditional filler, it provides immediate contouring and structural support. When diluted or hyper-diluted, it is used to improve skin firmness, elasticity, and overall quality rather than volume. During your consultation, we will determine the best technique and placement based on your anatomy, degree of volume loss, and desired outcome.
Expected results include immediate improvement in contour and support, followed by progressive skin tightening and collagen production over the next several months. Results typically last 12–18 months, and often longer when used as a biostimulator. Patients appreciate that Radiesse delivers natural-looking results that evolve over time rather than appearing “overfilled.”
Who is a Candidate for Radiesse?
Radiesse is ideal for patients seeking long-lasting rejuvenation and improved skin quality, but it is not appropriate for all areas, such as the lips or tear troughs, and is not reversible like HA fillers. For this reason, proper patient selection and expert injector technique are essential. Possible side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, or firmness at the injection site, which typically resolve within a few days to weeks.
At your consultation, we will discuss whether Radiesse is the right option for you and how it can be combined with other treatments — such as neurotoxin, HA fillers, or energy-based devices — to create a comprehensive, natural, and balanced rejuvenation plan.
