What Is Radiesse?

Radiesse is an FDA-approved calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) filler that immediately lifts deep folds and, over time, stimulates your own collagen for 12–18 months of support.

 

Because CaHA particles are heavier than hyaluronic acid, the gel holds shape even in movement-heavy areas like the jawline and hands. Most people return to daily activities right away, with mild swelling or bruising fading in three days.

Ideal for: Adults seeking long-lasting correction of smile lines, pre-jowl sagging, or volume-depleted hands without surgery.

FAQs

How much does Radiesse cost?
Treatments average $750–$1,200 per syringe; ask our team about payment plans during your visit.
How long do Radiesse results last?
Most patients enjoy correction for 12–18 months, thanks to collagen stimulation.
Is Radiesse safe for all skin tones?
Yes—CaHA fillers carry a very low risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation across diverse skin types.
Does the injection hurt?
The gel is premixed with lidocaine, and we add topical numbing, so discomfort is brief and mild.
Can it be reversed like hyaluronic-acid fillers?
Radiesse cannot be dissolved, which makes correct placement by a skilled physician essential.
What side effects should I expect?
Temporary swelling, redness, or bruising may occur; serious nodules are rare when technique is proper.
When will I see collagen improvement?
New collagen appears gradually, with skin firmness peaking around 3–6 months.
Can Radiesse tighten crepey skin elsewhere?
Hyper-diluted Radiesse is used off-label for neck, décolletage, and upper arms—ask if you’re a candidate.
Sculptra vs. Radiesse—what’s the difference?
Radiesse delivers an instant lift plus collagen boost and is ideal for deep folds, jawline, and hand volume. Sculptra® is a poly-L-lactic-acid biostimulator that builds volume gradually over 8–12 weeks and can last up to 2 years. If you want immediate results, Radiesse may be best; for subtle, long-term thickening of larger areas, Sculptra could be the better choice—your surgeon will guide you.
