Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler designed to restore lost volume, smooth moderate to severe wrinkles, and enhance facial contours for a rejuvenated and youthful appearance. With its unique calcium-based microsphere formula, Radiesse not only provides immediate results but also stimulates your body’s natural collagen production for long-lasting benefits.
How Does Radiesse Work?
Radiesse uses calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres to restore volume and support your skin’s structure. Once injected, it acts as a scaffold beneath the skin, smoothing wrinkles and filling areas with lost volume. Over time, the microspheres stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, which helps maintain the results even after the gel has been absorbed.

Post-Treatment
Consultation W/ Nurse Practitioner
Your treatment begins with a detailed consultation with one of our licensed nurse practitioners.
During this session, your provider will discuss your cosmetic goals, assess your skin, and recommend a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
This is your opportunity to ask questions and learn about what to expect from the procedure.
Treatment Preparation
On the day of your treatment, the targeted areas will be cleansed to ensure a sterile environment.
A topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize any discomfort, and your provider will carefully mark the injection sites to achieve precise, symmetrical results.
Radiesse Injection
Using a fine needle or cannula, your nurse practitioner will inject Radiesse into the targeted areas. The procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.
Radiesse often includes lidocaine to enhance comfort during the treatment. Your provider will carefully sculpt the filler to ensure natural, balanced results.
After Procedure Care
After the procedure, you may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites, which usually resolves within a few days.
Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided, including recommendations to avoid strenuous activities, direct sunlight, and heat exposure for 24–48 hours. Results are visible immediately, with continued improvement as collagen production increases.
