Radiesse® is an advanced dermal filler treatment designed to combat visible signs of aging and restore youthful volume. As elastin and collagen production naturally decline, aging skin loses its smooth texture and firmness. Dynamic lines become deeper wrinkles, and the face may begin to lose its structure and definition. Radiesse® offers an effective non-surgical solution for facial rejuvenation, providing immediate lift and long-term collagen stimulation. This FDA-approved anti-aging filler helps smooth facial wrinkles, fine lines, and deep skin folds, while enhancing contour and volume.
Composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a biocompatible gel, Radiesse® works both instantly and over time. The body naturally produces calcium hydroxylapatite, a key element used in many medical applications, ensuring safety and compatibility. Radiesse® is an allergen-free injectable filler that rejuvenates from within, restoring lost volume, improving elasticity, and promoting collagen renewal for natural, lasting results. During the procedure, Radiesse injections are precisely administered beneath the skin to target volume loss and wrinkles, leaving your skin smoother, lifted, and revitalized.
✨ Radiesse – Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Radiesse?
A: Radiesse is a biostimulatory dermal filler made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel. It adds immediate volume while stimulating your body’s natural collagen production over time.
Q: What is Radiesse used for?
A: Radiesse is commonly used to:
Restore volume in cheeks and midface

Rejuvenate aging hands
It is also used in hyperdiluted form to improve skin texture and elasticity in areas like the neck, décolletage, arms, and buttocks.
Q: How is Radiesse different from hyaluronic acid fillers?
A: Unlike HA fillers that provide temporary volume, Radiesse promotes long-term collagen remodeling. It’s ideal for deeper wrinkles, structural support, and skin firming.

A: Results can last 12–18 months, sometimes longer, depending on the treatment area and individual metabolism.
Q: How soon will I see results?
A: You’ll notice immediate volume enhancement, with continued improvement over several weeks as collagen production increases.
