RADIESSE® Treatments
Looking for structural definition or volume restoration? RADIESSE® might be the right option for you. It's a unique injectable treatment that acts as a biostimulator, designed to provide immediate structure while supporting your skin's own natural collagen production.
What is RADIESSE®?
RADIESSE® is an injectable dermal filler made of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. CaHA is a substance similar to the minerals found naturally in your body. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that focus mostly on hydration and soft volume, RADIESSE® is built for structure.
How it works
- Immediate Volume: Upon injection, it provides immediate lift to smooth wrinkles or define your contours.
- Biostimulation: Over time, the microspheres act as a scaffold, signaling your skin to produce its own natural collagen and elastin.
- Long-Term Structure: As the gel carrier is naturally absorbed, the newly formed collagen network remains to maintain firmness.
What can this treatment address?
RADIESSE® is a versatile option if you're looking for structural improvement rather than just soft volume:
| Aesthetic Concern | Target Benefit |
|---|---|
| Lower Face Contouring | Defines the jawline and chin for a sharper, more structured profile. |
| Hand Rejuvenation | Restores volume to the back of the hands to hide visible veins and tendons. |
| Skin Quality | Addresses skin laxity and "crepiness" in the neck or lower face area when used as a hyper-diluted wash. |
What to Expect: Your Journey With Us
We combine deep clinical expertise with a focus on your comfort to deliver beautiful, structural results.
In-Depth Consultation & Safety Review
Because RADIESSE® cannot be dissolved with an enzyme like HA fillers, our thorough consultation process is essential. We will review your anatomy and medical history to ensure you are the right candidate and completely comfortable before moving forward.
Preparation & Comfort
The appointment usually takes about 60 minutes. We'll use a topical numbing cream and the product itself often contains lidocaine to keep you completely comfortable during the procedure.
Precise Application
Our Nurse Injectors use a fine needle or a blunt-tipped cannula to precisely place the CaHA product into the deeper dermis or subcutis, maximizing structural lift and securing the best contouring results.
Aftercare & Lasting Results
You will experience immediate contouring. You might see some temporary swelling, tenderness, or bruising afterward, but this usually clears up in a few days. We advise patients to avoid intense exercise and excessive heat for 24-48 hours. Over time, collagen stimulation continues, with many patients enjoying their results for 12 to 18 months.
Candidacy & Investment
Who is a good candidate?
You're likely a good candidate for RADIESSE® if you're looking for longer-term structural improvements, jawline definition, or hand rejuvenation.
When to Wait: This treatment might not be right for you if you have a history of severe allergies, an active skin infection, a bleeding disorder, or if you're currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
Transparent Pricing
The cost of RADIESSE® is determined by the number of syringes required to achieve your desired structural lift. Pricing typically starts around $800 to $900 per syringe. During your consultation, we will map out your treatment plan and provide a precise, transparent quote before any treatment begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most fillers are made of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and have a soft, gel-like feel. RADIESSE® is made of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA), which is firmer and has a higher lifting capacity. This makes it perfect for "structural" work like the jawline, while HA fillers are usually better for softer areas like the lips.
