As we age, one of the most noticeable changes in our skin is the gradual loss of volume, elasticity, and support. These changes can lead to sagging, deeper facial lines, and reduced definition in areas like the cheeks or jawline. While many dermal fillers can help address these signs of aging, Radiesse® offers a unique, regenerative approach that sets it apart.
We’re pleased to now offer Radiesse® at our clinic. A treatment that not only restores volume but also supports your skin’s long-term health by stimulating natural collagen production.
What Is Radiesse®?
Radiesse® is classified as a biostimulatory dermal filler. Unlike traditional fillers that simply replace lost volume, Radiesse® also encourages the body to rebuild its own structural support by stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Its active ingredient, calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), is a mineral naturally found in the body. In Radiesse®, it’s suspended in a smooth gel that delivers immediate volume, while the CaHA microspheres work over time to trigger new collagen growth.
How Radiesse® Works
Radiesse® works in two phases:
- Immediate correction – the gel adds volume and softens wrinkles right away.
- Gradual regeneration – the CaHA particles remain and stimulate collagen production in the weeks that follow, helping to strengthen and firm the skin’s underlying structure.
This dual-action approach allows for both visible improvements and ongoing skin rejuvenation, making Radiesse® a clinically effective option for long-term results.
What Can Radiesse® Treat?
Radiesse® is approved for use in both the face and hands. It’s commonly used to treat:
- Volume loss in the cheeks and mid-face
- Jawline and chin contouring
- Deep folds such as nasolabial and marionette lines
- Volume restoration in the backs of the hands
- Skin firmness and texture, especially when diluted for biostimulatory treatments
Who It’s For
Radiesse® is generally suitable for adults experiencing volume loss or skin laxity, or for those looking to improve skin quality in a more regenerative way.
A thorough consultation is important to determine whether this treatment is appropriate for your skin and aesthetic goals.
What to Expect from Treatment
The procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. A numbing cream or local anesthetic may be used, depending on the area being treated. Injections are performed with precision to ensure a natural-looking result.
Mild side effects such as swelling, redness, or bruising may occur but usually subside within a few days. Most people return to normal activities immediately, although we advise avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive heat for 24-48 hours.
Results and Longevity
You can expect to see immediate improvement in volume and contour, with continued benefits over the following weeks as your skin produces new collagen.
Results typically last 12 to 18 months, making Radiesse® one of the longer-lasting fillers available. Many patients also report noticeable improvements in skin texture and firmness over time.
