Elevate your features with Radiesse® calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) filler—get instant lift and contour with results that last 12–18 months, while stimulating collagen and elastin (including hyper-dilute treatments to improve skin quality on the face, neck, and décolletage).
Radiesse is a unique dermal filler designed to restore volume and smooth out wrinkles and folds.
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres, which provide immediate lifting and volumizing effects while stimulating collagen production for long-term results. It is commonly used to treat facial wrinkles, folds, and volume loss in the hands.
Radiesse works two ways: right now and over time.
Immediate lift: The gel carrier adds instant volume and definition where it’s placed (cheeks, jawline, chin, hands).
Collagen remodeling: Its calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres act like a scaffold that stimulates your fibroblasts to make fresh collagen and elastin. Over a few months the gel is absorbed, your own collagen replaces it, and the microspheres gradually break down into calcium and phosphate that your body clears.
Is Radiesse safe?
Yes, Radiesse is FDA-approved and safe when administered by certified dermatologists.
How long does Radiesse last?
Results can last up to 18 months, depending on the area treated and individual factors.
Does the treatment hurt?
There may be some discomfort, but it is generally well-tolerated with the use of numbing agents.
What are the side effects?
Common side effects include redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site, but these are usually temporary.
Can Radiesse be dissolved if I don’t like the results?
No, unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse cannot be dissolved. It is important to have the treatment performed by an experienced injector to ensure satisfactory results.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients achieve desired results with a single session, with touch-ups as needed.
What should I avoid after the treatment?
Avoid strenuous activities, sun exposure, and makeup for 24 hours after the treatment.
Can Radiesse be used in combination with other fillers?
Yes, Radiesse can be combined with other fillers and treatments to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Consult with your dermatologist to create a customized treatment plan.
