Radiesse

What is it?

Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel. It provides immediate volume while also stimulating your body’s natural collagen production over time. This dual action helps improve both structure and skin quality for longer-lasting results.

What does it treat?

Cheeks
Jawline
Nasolabial folds
Chin
Temples
Neck
Chest
Hands

Radiesse can also be used to improve overall skin quality and mild skin laxity, particularly when used in diluted or hyper-diluted formulations.

Who is a good candidate for Radiesse?

Radiesse is ideal for adults experiencing volume loss, skin laxity, or deeper facial folds who want a non-surgical treatment to improve contour and skin quality. It is especially beneficial for patients looking for both immediate structural support and long-term collagen stimulation.

How many syringes of Radiesse will I need?

The number of syringes needed varies depending on the treatment area, the amount of volume loss, and your aesthetic goals. Some patients may need only 1–2 syringes, while larger areas or full facial balancing may require additional product. Your provider will recommend a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.

What are the different types of Radiesse treatments?

Radiesse can be used in different ways depending on your goals:

Standard Radiesse: Used for structural support and contouring in areas like the cheeks, jawline, chin, and hands

Diluted Radiesse: Mixed with saline and/or lidocaine to improve skin texture, elasticity, and mild laxity while still providing some support

Hyper-diluted Radiesse: Highly diluted to act primarily as a biostimulator, stimulating collagen and improving skin quality in areas such as the neck, chest, arms, or thighs

How long do results last?

Radiesse provides immediate improvement in volume and contour, with continued enhancement as collagen production increases over time. Results typically last 12–18 months, depending on the treatment area and individual response. Many patients maintain their results with periodic maintenance treatments

How should I prepare for my Radiess appointment?

To minimize bruising, we recommend avoiding blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, and alcohol for 3–5 days before treatment, unless prescribed by your physician.

Arrive with clean skin, and plan to avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive heat for 24 hours after treatment. Most patients experience minimal downtime, though mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising can occur and typically resolves within a few days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Radiesse better than hyaluronic acid filler?

Radiesse and hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers work differently, and the best choice depends on your treatment goals. Radiesse provides strong structural support and stimulates collagen production over time, making it ideal for contouring and improving skin quality. Hyaluronic acid fillers are softer and often used for areas requiring flexibility and subtle volume, such as the lips or under-eyes. Your provider will recommend the best option for your anatomy and goals.

Is there downtime after Radiesse?

Most patients experience minimal downtime. Mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising at the injection site can occur and usually resolves within a few days. Many patients return to normal activities the same day, though strenuous exercise and excessive heat should be avoided for 24 hours.

When will I see results?

Radiesse provides immediate improvement in volume and contour after treatment. Over time, it stimulates collagen production, which continues to enhance skin firmness and texture in the weeks following treatment.

Is Radiesse safe?

Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler with a long track record of safety when administered by a trained and experienced provider. As with any injectable treatment, side effects can include swelling, bruising, or tenderness, but serious complications are rare.

Can Radiesse be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Radiesse is often combined with treatments such as neuromodulators, microneedling, laser treatments, or hyaluronic acid fillers to address multiple concerns, including wrinkles, volume loss, and skin quality.
