Radiesse® restores volume to the face and hands.
Radiesse® is a wrinkle filler used to plump and smooth the skin. Aging skin loses natural support structures that keep skin supple and youthful. As the years go by, collagen and elastin diminish within the skin, and this results in wrinkles and creases. Radiesse® is frequently used to add volume and improve the signs of aging in the cheeks, hands, and smile lines from nose to mouth.

Why Patients Choose Radiesse®
While there are many dermal filler formulas on the market, many patients choose Radiesse® because it restores volume loss over time by stimulating your collagen production for results that continue to improve. Collagen is the key to strong, youthful looking skin. With new collagen, patients can enjoy improved facial lines and folds for a younger appearance. The formula can also be placed in the backs of the hands to restore lost volume and give them a supple appearance. When your hands age, the skin weakens, showing veins, tendons, and bones. When added to the hands, patients can achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance.
How it Works
Radiesse® contains Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in clear gel. The clear gel works by adding instant volume to the skin while triggering the body to produce more collagen. When metabolized by the body, the CaHA leaves behind natural collagen for long lasting structure.
Your Customized Radiesse® Treatment
One of our nurse injectors or plastic surgeons will meet with you prior to treatment to discuss your concerns and goals, as well as evaluate your face to determine the best filler for you. Radiesse® can be combined with a numbing cream to minimize discomfort during the injections. A small needle is placed under the skin to administer the product. Typical treatment time is 15-20 minutes.
Post-Treatment Tips
- You can resume all regular activity following treatment but should avoid exercise for 48 hours.
- Avoid massaging or exfoliating the area.
- Apply ice to the treatment area to help with any swelling or bruising.
