Radiesse
Radiesse is a unique dermal filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. It is used for both immediate correction of fine lines and wrinkles and for long-term improvement of skin quality by stimulating natural collagen production.
Radiesse is made up of tiny, smooth calcium-based microspheres (CaHA) suspended in a water-based gel. Calcium hydroxylapatite is a naturally occurring substance in the human body, making Radiesse biocompatible and safe. It is approved by the FDA for soft tissue augmentation, particularly for facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, and for adding volume in areas like the cheeks and jawline.
Radiesse is commonly used to treat
• Nasolabial Folds: The lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth.
• Marionette Lines: The lines running from the corners of the mouth down the chin.
• Cheeks and Jawline: Adding volume to improve facial contours and reduce sagging skin.
• Hands: Radiesse is also FDA-approved for hand rejuvenation, improving the appearance of wrinkled, veiny hands.
Radiesse is a versatile dermal filler that helps treat fine lines and wrinkles by immediately restoring volume and stimulating long-term collagen production. It delivers both instant and sustained results, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking a natural-looking, long-lasting solution to aging skin.

How does it work?
Immediate Volume Restoration
Upon injection, Radiesse provides immediate volume to the treatment area, filling in fine lines, wrinkles, and deep folds. This instantly gives the skin a smoother, more youthful appearance.The gel matrix in Radiesse helps to lift and support the skin structure, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and folds.
Collagen Stimulation
After the gel is absorbed, the calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres remain and stimulate the production of the body’s natural collagen. Over time, this helps to improve skin firmness, elasticity, and texture, providing long-lasting wrinkle reduction. As new collagen forms around the microspheres, the skin becomes firmer, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles continues to improve, with results lasting up to 12 to 18 months.
Gradual, Sustained Results
Radiesse offers both immediate and long-term benefits. The initial volumizing effect gives instant results, while collagen stimulation offers ongoing improvement as the skin regenerates. The calcium-based microspheres eventually break down and are naturally absorbed by the body, leaving behind newly formed collagen that maintains the skin’s youthful appearance.
Radiesse is ideal to treat deep lines, such as nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the mouth) or marionette lines (lines from the mouth to the chin) and for those who experience volume loss that want long-term improvement without frequent touch-ups. Those who want a natural look that progressively improves due to collagen stimulation can benefit from Radiesse.
Treatment Intervals for Radiesse
Initial Treatment
Most people will need only one treatment session to achieve immediate volumizing effects. The results are visible right away, as Radiesse provides immediate volume and smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles.
Maintenance
Collagen stimulation from Radiesse continues over several months, providing long-lasting results. However, the body gradually absorbs the product. Maintenance treatments are usually recommended every 12 to 18 months to maintain the results, depending on individual factors like age, metabolism, and the area treated. In some cases, people may opt for touch-up treatments between 9 and 12 months to ensure optimal long-term results.
