Radiesse
Revitalize Your Youth, Naturally with Radiesse.
RADIESSE® is a biostimulatory injectable, which means it doesn’t just fill lines — it stimulates your skin to regenerate itself.
What is RADIESSE® made of?
RADIESSE® is made with tiny calcium-based particles called calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA).
CaHA is:
Biocompatible (works safely with your body)
Biodegradable (naturally broken down over time)
Similar to minerals already found in your bones and teeth
Because your body recognizes CaHA as familiar, it responds by activating repair and renewal processes.
Two-phase results: Immediate + long-term
RADIESSE® works in two important stages:
1. Immediate support and contour
Right after injection:
The smooth gel gives instant lift and structure
Wrinkles and folds appear softer
Facial contours look more defined
This provides the visible improvement many patients want right away.
2. Collagen and elastin stimulation
Over the weeks following treatment, the CaHA particles:
Signal fibroblast cells to make new collagen
Encourage elastin production, which improves skin bounce
Strengthen the skin’s internal support structure
As the gel carrier fades, your own collagen takes over, helping results last longer and look natural.
What happens inside the skin?
Think of RADIESSE® as a scaffold:
The CaHA particles act as a framework
Your skin builds new collagen fibers around them
Blood flow and skin metabolism improve
Skin becomes thicker, firmer, and more resilient
This process is called collagen remodeling, and it continues for months after treatment.
Why results look natural
RADIESSE® does not attract water like some fillers, which means:
No “puffy” or overfilled look
Skin looks firm and supported, not swollen
Facial movement and expressions remain natural
This makes RADIESSE® ideal for areas needing definition and strength, not softness alone.
How the body breaks it down
Over time, the CaHA particles are:
Gradually broken down into calcium and phosphate
Safely absorbed through normal body processes
What remains is your own collagen and elastin, not leftover filler material.
Proven longevity and safety
RADIESSE® is supported by:
Over 20 years of clinical research
Peer-reviewed studies on collagen stimulation
Results lasting 12 months or longer in many patients
A strong safety record when performed by trained providers
RADIESSE® is developed and studied by Merz Aesthetics, a leader in medical aesthetics science.
Best areas for RADIESSE®
Because of its strength and regenerative benefits, RADIESSE® is commonly used for:
Jawline and lower face contouring
Cheeks and midface support
Hand rejuvenation
Neck and décolleté skin quality (when diluted)
In simple terms

Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler used to reduce wrinkles, restore facial volume, and stimulate collagen production for long-lasting, natural results.
Radiesse provides immediate volume by using calcium-based microspheres that also stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, leading to continued improvement over time.
Results can last 12-18 months, depending on the treatment area and individual skin type. Collagen stimulation continues even after the filler dissolves, extending the effects.
Common areas include nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, pre-jowl folds, chin wrinkles, cheek enhancement, and hand rejuvenation.
Yes, Radiesse is FDA-approved and has been proven safe in clinical trials for treating moderate to severe wrinkles and facial volume loss.
There is minimal to no downtime with Radiesse treatments. Most patients return to their regular activities immediately after the procedure.
Most patients experience only mild discomfort. A topical anesthetic is often applied to enhance comfort, and Radiesse contains lidocaine to minimize pain during injection.
Ideal candidates are those seeking to reduce wrinkles, restore volume, or rejuvenate their hands. Consult with a professional to determine if Radiesse is right for you.
Common side effects include mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which usually resolve within a few days.
Pre and Post Operative Care
Our PRE DERMAL FILLER TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS
• Avoid taking aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen, Advil®, Motrin®, Nuprin®, Aleve®, Celebrex®, Fish oil, Gingko Biloba , St. John’s Wort and high doses of vitamin E for at least 7-10 days before your appointment, unless medically necessary.
• You may take Tylenol® (if not contraindicated) one hour before your appointment to prevent any discomfort you may experience. If you have concerns about discomfort.
• If you are taking prescription blood thinners such as Coumadin or Plavix, you should check with the prescribing doctor to see if you are able to stop these medicines for 7-10 days before your appointment and at least 2 days after the procedure has been done.
• If you have any history of Herpes Simplex (cold sores) on your face, make sure you inform the doctor that you have made your appointment with, one week prior to your appointment; this will allow us adequate time to prescribe a medication to prevent an outbreak.
• Avoid dental procedures (including cleaning) 2 weeks pre filler and 2 weeks post filler
• Come to your appointment with a clean face. **This means NO MAKEUP **
• Eat a small meal or a snack before your appointment.
• Bruising and swelling will be worse for the first 24-48 hours after you receive your dermal filler injections. Refrain from exercising for the remainder of the day following your injection(s). You may want to refrain from going to any special events during this time.
POST DERMAL FILLER TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS
• The majority of reactions to dermal fillers are redness, swelling, bruising and tenderness after the
injections. These usually subside a few days after the treatment, but can last up to a week. If any of these symptoms persist longer than a week, or if you develop other symptoms, please contact our office.
• Cold compresses may be used after the treatment to reduce swelling and decrease soreness. You may take Tylenol (if not contraindicated) every 4-6 hours after the treatment to help with any discomfort you may have.
• Make-up may be applied a few hours after the treatment, if no complications are present, such as open wounds, bleeding or infection.
• In the first 24 hours following treatment, limit exposure to sunlight or UV lamps. Extensive sun or heat exposure and alcoholic beverages may cause a temporary increase in redness, bruising or swelling at the injection sites. If there is persistent swelling or redness after the injections, you should limit exposure to sunlight or UV lamps until these symptoms subside (for at least 5-7 days). If sun exposure is unavoidable, use a sun block with an SPF of 30 or greater, combined with zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide.
• Patients should avoid strenuous exercise for 48 hours to prevent moving the filler or increasing blood flow to the face.
• Avoid taking aspirin (unless medically necessary) or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen, Advil®, Motrin®, Nuprin®, Aleve®, Celebrex®, Fish oil, Gingko Biloba , St. John’s Wort and high doses of vitamin E for 5 days after the treatment, as these may cause an increased risk of bleeding or bruising at the injection sites.
• Avoid excessive touching or massaging the treated areas for about 6 hours after the injections. The treated areas can be washed with a gentle cleanser such as Cetaphil® Cerave® or Dove® unscented.
• Avoid dental procedure (including cleaning) 2 weeks post filler
• Your satisfaction is important to us! We would like you to return to the office in 2 weeks to see whether a touch-up is necessary.
• Studies have shown that having a follow-up treatment before the product has fully dissipated will enhance the lasting effect. Consult your physician about recommendations for touch-up or follow- up treatments.
• Remember your sunscreen daily.
