Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. It’s made of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres that provide immediate lift and stimulate your body’s natural collagen over time. Treatments are performed by board-certified providers for safe, long-lasting results.
Radiesse works in two ways:
- Immediate volumizing effect to lift and contour areas like the cheeks, jawline, and nasolabial folds.
- Collagen stimulation over time, which helps maintain smoother, firmer skin for up to a year or more.
Radiesse is commonly used for:
- Cheeks and midface volume restoration
- Smile lines (nasolabial folds)
- Marionette lines
- Jawline definition and contouring
- Back of hands to restore volume
It’s an excellent option for adults looking to address age-related volume loss.
Yes. Radiesse is FDA-approved and considered safe when administered by a trained, board-certified provider. Most patients experience only mild swelling or bruising that resolves in a few days. Your provider will review all safety precautions during your consultation.
Most patients report mild discomfort during injection. Numbing cream or local anesthesia can be used for comfort. The procedure is quick and generally well-tolerated.
Radiesse results are long-lasting, typically 12–18 months, depending on the treatment area and your body’s metabolism. Collagen stimulation may extend the visible effects even further.
Results are visible immediately due to its volumizing effect. Over the next few weeks, your natural collagen production continues to improve skin firmness and smoothness.
Yes! Radiesse works well alongside neuromodulators (Botox), other dermal fillers, or collagen-stimulating treatments for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Learn more about our facial rejuvenation treatments here.
Radiesse is ideal for adults looking to restore facial volume, smooth moderate wrinkles, or enhance contours without surgery. A board-certified provider can evaluate your facial structure and recommend the best approach.
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at injection sites. Serious complications are rare when performed by a qualified, board-certified provider.
