Radiesse is a unique dermal filler that not only restores lost volume but also stimulates your body’s natural collagen production for long-lasting, natural-looking results. Ideal for smoothing deeper lines and enhancing facial contours, Radiesse delivers immediate improvement with continued rejuvenation over time.
Radiesse works by combining immediate volume restoration with long-term collagen stimulation. Made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA)—a substance naturally found in the body, primarily in our bones—Radiesse is formulated as smooth microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. Upon injection, it instantly adds volume and structure to the treated areas. Over time, the gel is gradually absorbed, while the CaHA microspheres stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. As these microspheres are metabolized, they leave behind your own collagen, helping to maintain a firmer, more youthful appearance.
Results are both immediate and long-lasting, typically lasting a year or more. Radiesse is ideal for restoring volume in the cheeks, softening nasolabial folds, defining the jawline, and improving marionette lines. It is also the first dermal filler approved to restore volume to the backs of the hands, creating a smoother, more youthful look. Additionally, Radiesse can be used in larger treatment areas to improve crepey skin on the neck, soften deeper chest wrinkles, and address laxity in areas like the knees.
Avoid routine dental cleaning or dental procedures for two weeks before and after your treatment. Alert our office if you experience any skin or dental infections in the month before your appointment.
Avoid vaccines or boosters within 30 days of Sculptra treatment. Unless prescribed by a physician, avoid taking the following medications 7-10 days before your appointment: aspirin, Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil), and naproxen (Aleve), fish oil or omega-3 fatty acids, St. John’s Wart, vitamin E, ginger, Gingko Biloba, ginseng, and garlic. These drugs and herbs may cause excessive bleeding or bruising.
Avoid or minimize consumption of alcohol for three (3) days before your appointment, as this may also contribute to bruising. Let your provider know if you have a history of autoimmune conditions or cold sores, as there may be precautions to take or a contraindication to treatment.
Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup or lotions in the treatment area. If you are prone to cold sores and are being treated around the mouth, let us know in advance so we can prescribe preventative medication if needed. It’s also best to schedule your appointment at least 2 weeks before any major events to allow time for any swelling or bruising to fully resolve.
You’ll notice immediate improvement in volume and contour right after your Radiesse treatment. You’ll notice visible lift and contour, with results that only get better over time. As the product continues to work beneath the surface, it stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, leading to even smoother, firmer skin over the following weeks. Results typically continue to improve over 2–3 months and can last a year or more, giving you both instant and long-term rejuvenation.
