What Is Radiesse?

Radiesse is a revolutionary injectable filler, approved by the FDA for cosmetic use in treating nasolabial folds. It is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in aqueous (containing water) carrier gel. The calcium microspheres are similar to minerals occurring naturally in the body. When injected into the skin, Radiesse adds volume and provides correction immediately, and also stimulates production of the body’s own collagen, with results that can last for a year of more after the procedure.

This filler is completely biocompatible and biodegradable. Over time, the body absorbs the gel and metabolizes the calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres, leaving only your own natural collagen behind. It takes longer for Radiesse to break down than most hyaluronic acid fillers. It has been clinically proven to last for a year or more in most patients.

Where Can Radiesse Be Used?

Radiesse is the thickest dermal filler available and provides the greatest amount of lift when injected. This makes it an ideal injectable product for lifting the tip of the nose, augmenting the chin, or filling in the cheeks. It is the perfect choice for treating areas such as the chin, nose, jawline, and cheekbones, where more definition is preferred.

Radiesse acts as a scaffolding under the skin to give it structure and prevent sagging. This volumizing filler can be injected in the:

  • Nasolabial folds (smile lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth)
  • Marionette lines (running from the corners of the mouth downward)
  • Oral commissures (corners of the mouth)
  • Pre-jowl folds (on the sides of the chin where the skin can sag with loss of facial volume)
  • Chin lines (horizontal wrinkles that form on the chin)
  • Backs of the hands (to restore volume)

Benefits of Radiesse

Radiesse injections can be performed as an in-office, “lunch hour” procedure. Treatment can help patients achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance in only one visit. Benefits of Radiesse in Beverly Hills include:

  • Visible results immediately
  • Longer-lasting than other leading fillers
  • Stimulates natural collagen production
  • Biocompatible material with virtually no risk of allergic reaction
  • Minimally-invasive procedure
  • Fast treatment (generally less than 15 minutes)
  • Requires fewer injections than other fillers
  • FDA-approved to mix with lidocaine for more comfortable treatment

Time takes its toll on the face, and collagen breakdown can cause volume loss, sagging, wrinkles, and folds. Radiesse is the only dermal filler that restores volume immediately and stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen. It can help create a more youthful appearance in one quick, non-surgical treatment with clinically proven results that last up to one year or longer in many patients.

Is Radiesse appropriate for people with autoimmune conditions?

Patients with autoimmune disorders should consult their provider, as they may have a higher risk of inflammatory reactions or complications.

How does Radiesse compare to Sculptra?

Both stimulate collagen, but Radiesse offers immediate volume and lift, while Sculptra works gradually over time. Your goals will help determine the best option.

Can Radiesse be used for body contouring?

In some cases, Radiesse is used off-label for body areas such as the buttocks or thighs to improve skin texture and firmness, but this should be done only by experienced providers.

How often will I need maintenance treatments with Radiesse?

Most patients enjoy results for 12–18 months, but touch-ups may be needed depending on your metabolism, area treated, and aesthetic goals.

What should I avoid before my Radiesse appointment?

To reduce bruising risk, avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and supplements like fish oil or vitamin E for several days before your treatment.
