Radiesse
The perfect pairing of instant results and long-term collagen building all in one treatment!
What is Radiesse?
Radiesse is an advanced biostimulator injection designed to restore volume, enhance facial contours, and support long-term skin rejuvenation. Made with calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres, which acts as scaffold that provides immediate lift and structure. These injections also stimulate your body’s natural collagen production over time, filling the treated areas with your own natural collagen. Results are natural-looking and long-lasting, continuing to improve in the months following treatment. Radiesse is ideal for clients looking for a subtle yet impactful refresh.
Who is a good candidate for Radiesse?
Radiesse is the perfect option for those with mild to moderate skin laxity and who also want to see an improvement in skin quality. If you struggle with crepey, dull skin and want to see an overall refresh of your skin firmness in addition to treating laxity, fine lines, and wrinkles by building your own natural collagen, then Radiesse is for you!
Indications for Treatment
Radiesse is ideal for improving:
- Fine lines and wrinkles, especially those around the nose and mouth
- Mild to moderate skin laxity

Duration: Results generally last 12-18 months

Radiesse FAQs
What areas can be treated with Radiesse?
Radiesse is commonly used to restore volume in the cheeks, smooth nasolabial folds, define the jawline, and rejuvenate the hands. It can also be used in a diluted form to improve areas like the neck and décolleté.
How is Radiesse different from hyaluronic acid fillers?
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse not only adds volume but also stimulates collagen production. This makes it ideal for clients looking for both immediate results and longer-term skin improvement.
How long do results last?
Results typically last 12–18 months, depending on the treatment area and individual metabolism. The collagen-stimulating effects may continue to improve the skin even as the product gradually breaks down.
Is the treatment painful?
Most clients find Radiesse treatments very tolerable. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand, and the product also contains lidocaine to enhance comfort during the procedure.
Who is a good candidate for Radiesse?
Radiesse is ideal for individuals experiencing volume loss, skin laxity, or those looking to improve skin quality and firmness. A consultation will determine if it’s the best option for your goals.
When will I see results?
You’ll notice immediate volume after treatment, with continued improvement over the following weeks as collagen production is stimulated.
Are there any side effects?
Common side effects include temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, and bruising. More serious complications are rare when performed by a trained medical professional.
Can Radiesse be combined with other treatments?
Yes! Radiesse pairs well with treatments like neuromodulators, PRF, microneedling, and laser treatments to enhance overall results. If you’ve had traditional hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, you can still be a good candidate for Radiesse!
How many treatments will I need?
Many clients achieve their desired results with one treatment, though some may benefit from a series or maintenance treatments depending on their goals.
Is Radiesse reversible?
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse is not reversible. This makes proper assessment, technique, and provider expertise especially important. If you are searching for a completely natural product, check out our PRF options!
