Radiesse FAQ
Radiesse is a calcium-based biostimulator that not only provides immediate volume but also stimulates your body’s natural production of collagen, elastic fibers, and hyaluronic acid. This results in longer-lasting effects (up to two years or longer) compared to hyaluronic acid fillers, with continued improvement in skin quality over time.
Radiesse is perfect for men and women noticing reduced volume, deep wrinkles, or folds throughout the face, chest, knees, or other areas of the body. It’s also suitable for those looking to reduce visible veins or tendons on the hands. During your consultation, our dermatologists will assess your concerns and aesthetic goals.
Your treatment begins with an assessment by one of our dermatologists to determine the precise amount of Radiesse needed. Treatments are infused with lidocaine to ensure comfort, with optional numbing agents available. Multiple injections will be administered to treated areas. Treatment time varies based on the areas being treated.
Downtime is minimal. You may have pinpoint bleeding, redness, swelling, itchiness, or bruising, but these effects typically fade over a few days. You can immediately return to your regular skincare routine. Swelling can last 3-7 days, and you may feel lumps where the filler was injected, which typically subsides in about 3-7 days.
You may use your regular skincare products and makeup immediately after treatment. Ice packs may be used to ease tenderness and swelling, and you can take Tylenol for any discomfort. Do NOT manipulate, rub, massage, apply pressure, etc. to treated areas or lay face down after treatment. If you get a bruise, we offer complimentary laser treatment the following day to help clear it.
Benefits include immediate volumizing effects, stimulation of natural collagen and elastic fiber production, results that can last up to two years or longer, effectiveness on multiple body areas including face, hands, chest, and knees, and the ability to combine with other treatments for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Results are immediate but continue to improve over 2-4 months as your body produces new collagen, elastic fibers, and hyaluronic acid. A series of three sessions over a few months may be needed to achieve natural, longer-lasting results. During your consultation, our dermatologists will recommend a customized treatment plan based on your specific concerns and goals.
Both Radiesse and Sculptra® are biostimulators, meaning they encourage your body to produce new collagen and improve skin firmness over time. While each product uses a different active ingredient, both support gradual, natural-looking improvement with results that continue to evolve for months after treatment. Your dermatologist will help determine which option best aligns with your goals and the areas you want to improve
Yes. Like Sculptra, Radiesse is ideal for anyone seeking gradual refinement with results that last. It offers immediate softening plus ongoing collagen support, creating smoother, firmer contours without an overfilled appearance. Many patients choose it when they want subtle, progressive rejuvenation and improved skin quality throughout the face or body.
Yes, Radiesse works beautifully as part of comprehensive treatment plans. It can be combined with other dermal fillers, Botox Cosmetic®, Ultherapy, Sofwave, Thermage, laser treatments, and advanced skincare for enhanced results and comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
