What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is an injectable treatment designed to restore facial volume, enhance definition, and improve the overall appearance of the skin. Made with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), Radiesse provides immediate contouring while also supporting your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production over time.

How does Radiesse work?

Radiesse works in two ways. Its unique gel matrix provides immediate volume and structure, while the CaHA microspheres stimulate your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. As the treatment continues to work over time, it can help support firmer, smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

What can Radiesse improve?

Radiesse can be used to restore volume and enhance definition in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and lower face. Beyond contouring, its collagen- and elastin-stimulating properties can help improve the appearance of skin firmness, smoothness, and overall quality.

When will I see Radiesse results?

One of the unique benefits of Radiesse is that results can be seen immediately following treatment, while additional improvements develop over time as collagen and elastin production are stimulated. Your results will continue to evolve as your skin responds to treatment, creating a refreshed and more defined appearance.
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, similar to a Sculptra treatment.

  • How much does Radiesse cost?

    Radiesse pricing at The Skin Center begins at $850 per syringe. Based on the patients personalized treatment plan, multi-syringe pricing is available, with an added discount incrementally increasing with additional syringes.

    Your provider will design a customized treatment plan during your consultation and confirm final pricing based on your needs. Pricing may vary with seasonal packages and specials and participation in The Skin Center Loyalty Program.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

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.
