Radiesse® is a biostimulatory dermal filler made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. It provides immediate lift and volume when injected, but also stimulates your body to produce more collagen over time—offering both instant results and long-term skin rejuvenation. It’s an ideal option for those who want structural support and natural collagen rebuilding.

Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers that simply add volume, Radiesse® actively stimulates collagen production after the initial results settle in. It’s thicker in consistency, making it perfect for sculpting and defining areas like the cheeks, jawline, and chin. While HA fillers are reversible, Radiesse® is not—so it’s best suited for patients looking for longer-term results and more defined contouring.

Radiesse® is most commonly used in the lower face—think marionette lines, nasolabial folds, jawline, and chin. It’s also FDA-approved for hand rejuvenation, restoring volume to aging hands while improving skin texture. In select cases, it can also be diluted for skin revitalization in areas like the neck or décolleté.

One of the standout features of Radiesse® is its longevity. Most patients enjoy visible improvement for 12 to 18 months, thanks to its dual-action formula that volumizes and regenerates collagen. Some even see continued improvement over time as collagen production increases.

Not really. Radiesse® is injected with a fine needle or cannula, and it’s often mixed with lidocaine for added comfort. You might feel some pressure or a slight pinch, but we can use numbing cream or cold packs to make the experience even smoother.

Most patients experience minimal downtime. You may have light swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site, but these effects usually resolve within a few days. You’ll be able to return to normal activities right away, but we suggest avoiding strenuous workouts, alcohol, or heat exposure for 24 hours.

Radiesse® is great for most adults looking to restore facial volume, improve jawline definition, or rejuvenate aging hands. It’s especially well-suited for those with moderate to severe wrinkles or noticeable volume loss in the lower face. If you're seeking structure over softness, Radiesse® might be your go-to.

Yes! Many clients pair Radiesse® with neuromodulators like Xeomin® or Botox® to address both static volume loss and dynamic wrinkles. It can also be layered with skin-tightening treatments like microneedling or lasers to enhance overall texture and firmness.

Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse® is not dissolvable. That’s why it’s important to work with skilled injectors (like our team at The Beauty & Wellness Collective) who take a conservative and artistic approach. We always start with the right amount and offer follow-ups to fine-tune your results.
