What is Radiesse®?
Radiesse is a dermal filler that is designed to add volume and lift to the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It’s made up of microscopic spheres of a material known as calcium hydroxylapatite. Those microspheres are suspended within the gel that is injected beneath the skin. The calcium hydroxylapatite in Radiesse is a synthetic form of the same material naturally occurring in your bones. The spheres act as a scaffold, filling wrinkles while allowing your collagen to grow around the spheres. Eventually, the Radiesse is processed out of your body, but the supportive collagen remains providing youthful, natural-looking results.

What results can I expect from Radiesse®?
Results from Radiesse are often noticeable immediately. While the full results typically become more pronounced within a few days to a couple of weeks as any initial swelling subsides. This means that you can enjoy the rejuvenating effects of Radiesse shortly after your treatment.
Radiesse typically lasts for up to 12 months, depending on individual responses. Patients are able to maintain their desired results by undergoing periodic treatments.
What is it like to get a Radiesse® treatment?
Prior to your Radiesse treatment, the area to be treated will be cleaned with an antiseptic skin cleaner before an ultra-fine needle is used to inject a precise amount of product strategically beneath the skin. To reduce discomfort, a topical numbing agent may be applied to the treatment area. The treatment typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes depending on the area being treated. Some patients may experience swelling, tenderness or bruising at the injection sites, but these effects are temporary and typically subside within a few days to a week.
