Radiesse: the best beautifier since Botox

Radiesse is a unique filler that stimulates the body’s natural collagen and elastin production in order to strengthen the skin and restore age-related tissue loss. 

Because of its density and bio-stimulating properties, Radiesse can be used in place of traditional filler or as a collagen-stimulating treatment.

Radiesse = Results

We use Radiesse to:

  • Smooth chin wrinkles, marionette lines, and nasolabial folds
  • Tighten sagging skin
  • Define the jawline
  • Contour the cheeks
  • Minimize the appearance of cellulite
  • Tighten crepey skin in the neck and chest
  • Fill in acne scars or hollow under-eyes

How Radiesse Works

Unlike traditional HA dermal fillers, which simply inject volume, biostimulators use your body’s natural healing abilities to grow new tissue and produce volume naturally. 

Step One

Radiesse, which contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), is injected into the desired area. 

Step Two

The CaHA particles integrate into the skin, create a structure there, and alert the body to start producing collagen and elastin. 

Step Three

Your collagen and elastin uses this structure as a scaffolding on which it can build tissue, which strengthens the skin. 

Frequently asked questions

Radiesse results typically last about 15 months, though some patients see results for up to two years.

Depending on the nature of your treatment, you will see the shaping, contouring, smoothing, or volumizing benefits of Radiesse immediately. 

As the body begins to produce collagen, your results will continue to improve for 7-10 days after your treatment. You will see the full extent of your skin-strengthening, wrinkle-smoothing treatment 3-8 weeks after injection.

Two to three treatment sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, are the norm. After your initial treatment, you can typically maintain results with just one treatment each year. 

Like with all injectable treatments, you may experience some common side effects like bruising, swelling, pain, or itching at the site of injection. Applying cold compresses and elevating your head while you sleep are two great ways to manage or prevent any swelling. 

Radiesse cannot be dissolved. However, if you feel that the results are not in line with what you envisioned, we are able to dilute the injected material to reduce its visual weight and impact. If you are feeling uncertain about your Radiesse treatment, just talk to us! We will work together to find a safe solution that leaves you feeling comfortable and confident.

Radiesse is a bio-stimulating filler. Biostimulators trigger the body to produce collagen and elastin, which are two proteins that contribute to the skin’s strength and elasticity. As you age, you naturally lose the amount of collagen and elastin you have in your body. By stimulating new collagen and elastin, your body can help sagging skin remain tight and youthful. 

  • Sculptra and Radiesse are both collagen biostimulators. 
  • Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid, the same material that dissolvable stitches are made of. Sculptra causes an inflammatory response in the body that triggers collagen production, which strengthens and thickens the skin. 
  • Radiesse is a gel that contains tiny calcium microspheres. Radiesse also triggers collagen production, but it does so without causing inflammation in the body. Instead, the calcium microspheres settle into the skin and act as a supportive structure that new tissue can use to grow, like ivy on a fence. 
  • Radiesse results are immediate, whereas Sculptra takes weeks to show results.

  • You can return to work and other easy activities right away, but we strongly suggest you avoid strenuous exercise, sunlight, and heat for several days after your appointment. Importantly, you must avoid flying for 72 hours after your treatment.
  • It’s also best to skip active skincare ingredients like retinol for at least a couple days to avoid added irritation.
