How long does Radiesse last?

Results typically last 12–18 months, with collagen benefits that may persist even longer.

Is Radiesse the same as traditional filler?

Not exactly. Radiesse is a biostimulator, meaning it encourages your body to make its own collagen rather than simply filling space.

Is there downtime after treatment?

Most patients experience minimal downtime. Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur and usually resolves within a few days.

When will I see results?

You’ll notice immediate improvement, with continued enhancement over the next 2–3 months as collagen production increases.

What Is Radiesse?

Radiesse, like Sculptra, is an FDA-approved biostimulatory filler made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. Unlike traditional fillers that only add volume, Radiesse works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, improving skin quality over time.

Once injected, Radiesse provides immediate structure and support while activating fibroblasts to produce new collagen, leading to firmer, smoother, and more resilient skin even after the product itself is metabolized.

How Radiesse Works

Radiesse delivers a dual benefit:

Immediate correction through structural support and volume
Long-term rejuvenation by stimulating collagen and elastin production

As your body naturally absorbs the gel, newly formed collagen remains—creating results that look natural and continue to improve over several months.

Enhance Your Microneedling Treatment with Radiesse!

For enhanced skin rejuvenation, Radiesse can be paired with microneedling to amplify collagen stimulation. While Radiesse works deeper to rebuild structural support, microneedling targets the skin’s surface—improving tone, texture, and overall skin quality.
