What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler formulated with Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth, water-based gel. What makes Radiesse unique is its ability to go beyond traditional dermal fillers. The CaHA microspheres act as a biostimulator, encouraging the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin over time. As the gel carrier is gradually absorbed, the newly stimulated collagen helps maintain the structure and firmness of the skin.

How Radiesse Works.

Uniquely designed to function as both a dermal filler and a biostimulator, Radiesse works in two distinct ways. The gel carrier provides immediate lift and contour to areas experiencing volume loss, while the CaHA microspheres provide the structure to stimulate the body’s natural collagen and elastin production. This dual-action approach delivers instant volume with continued results that improve over time, up to a year or longer.
Radiesse FAQs
  • What is Calcium Hydroxylapatite?

    Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) is naturally occurring mineral found in the body, specifically the bones, and is the key component in Radiesse. When added to the water-based gel, the CaHA microspheres create an instant lift to the treatment area and provides the framework to naturally increase collagen and elastin production.

  • How many Radiesse treatments will I need?

    Most people achieve the desired result after just one treatment. However, because Radiesse acts as both a biostimulator and dermal filler, the initial treatment is usually conservative with a follow-up visit for further refinement, if needed.

  • When will I see the results?

    Results are seen immediately with Radiesse treatment. Radiesse performs two distinct functions, first as a traditional dermal filler offering visible lift and contour and second as a biostimulator, creating long-term collagen production. As the water-based gel is slowly absorbed by the body, the CaHA microspheres will have stimulated collagen production for long-lasting, natural results.

  • How long will the results last?

    Results from Radiesse will generally last 12 – 18 months. As the gel carrier that provides the immediate volume is gradually absorbed by the body, the CaHA microspheres will have created the framework for long-term collagen stimulation, providing longer-term results.

  • How long does a Radiesse treatment take?

    Typically, treatments take 30 – 60 minutes depending on the area being treated. Using an ultra-fine needle, Radiesse is injected below the surface of the skin to add immediate volume, just like traditional dermal fillers. Following the treatment, normal activities can be resumed, and makeup may be applied a few hours later.

  • What are the side effects from Radiesse?

    Side effects associated with Radiesse are minimal. They may include slight pinkness, mild bruising or swelling and tenderness near the injection site. Typically, these side effects dissipate within a few days.

  • What is Hyperdilute Radiesse?

    Hyperdilute Radiesse is when Radiesse is mixed with saline and lidocaine before treatment to essentially dilute the product; it is used to stimulate natural collagen production only acting as a traditional biostimulator, without the volume or lift provided by traditional Radiesse.

  • How much does Radiesse cost?

    The cost of Radiesse varies depending on the treatment area and the number of syringes needed. A personalized consultation will determine the appropriate treatment plan and provide exact pricing.

Things to Keep In Mind for Radiesse Treatment

  1. Come to your appointment without makeup on the area to be treated, as this helps reduce the risk of infection and allows the practitioner to work on a clean surface.
  2. No dental work 2 weeks prior to treatment, even if your dental work is as simple as a routine cleaning.
  3. No vaccines or medical procedures 2 weeks prior to treatment.

  1. Refrain from exercise for 72 hours (about 3 days) post-treatment.
  2. Avoid excessive heat and sun exposure for 72 hours (about 3 days) post-treatment, as heat can promote bruising and swelling.
  3. Consider sleeping with your head slightly elevated and on your back if you want to decrease swelling in the treatment area.
