Radiesse
Radiesse® is a dermal filler comprised of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres in a gel carrier. It not only provides immediate volume and contour but also acts as a biostimulator—encouraging your body to produce its own collagen and elastin over time.
What it Does / Benefits
- Restores volume to areas like cheeks, jawline, hands, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines
- Provides both instant improvement and longer-term skin rejuvenation through collagen stimulation
- Helps skin feel firmer, look smoother, and regain youthful elasticity
- Lasts typically 12–18 months, depending on individual factors
Ideal Candidates
- Those noticing volume loss (cheeks, jawline, hands)
- People wanting both structural support and skin quality improvement
- Individuals seeking longer-lasting results without surgery
What to Expect / Treatment Process
The treatment is done via injection, usually by a trained provider (nurse, PA, MD) using a needle or cannula.
- Mild swelling, redness, and possible bruising are common post-treatment but resolve in a few days
- Final results become more apparent as collagen builds—over several weeks to a few months
Radiesse + Other Treatments
Radiesse can be combined with other skin rejuvenation treatments such as lasers, microneedling, or chemical peels to further enhance skin texture and tone.
