Radiesse
Radiesse is an innovative dermal filler that helps lift and restore volume to areas affected by aging, giving you a naturally youthful look. Unlike other fillers, Radiesse provides immediate volume and stimulates collagen production over time, ensuring long-lasting results. Known for smoothing deep lines, enhancing facial contours, and rejuvenating the hands, Radiesse is ideal for those looking to reduce the visible signs of aging. If you’re interested in a non-surgical solution with results that last up to 18 months, Radiesse can help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

About Radiesse
What It Is
Radiesse is a dermal filler that uses calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres in a gel base to provide volume and lift to the skin. Radiesse not only smooths wrinkles and deep lines but also promotes natural collagen production, helping the skin maintain its improved structure and appearance over time. This filler is commonly used to treat the cheeks, jawline, and hands, offering a refreshed look without the need for surgery or extended recovery.
How It Works
Radiesse works by delivering CaHA microspheres into the skin to add volume instantly, reducing wrinkles and lifting sagging areas. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the gel carrier, leaving behind the CaHA particles that stimulate collagen production. This collagen boost helps maintain the filler’s effects for up to 12–18 months, depending on individual factors such as skin type and lifestyle.
What To Expect
During a Radiesse session, your provider will cleanse the treatment area and may apply a numbing cream to ensure comfort. Radiesse is then injected using a fine needle or cannula to target areas of volume loss and skin laxity. The procedure typically takes about 30–45 minutes, and you can expect minimal downtime. Immediate results are often visible after treatment, with continued improvement as collagen production increases.
Following the treatment, some clients may experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites, which generally resolves within a few days. For optimal results, multiple sessions may be recommended depending on your goals.
