An anti-wrinkle treatment that allows you to take control over visible signs of aging to define yourself, your way. By stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, Radiesse smooths unwanted lines and facial folds, so you can live confidently and wrinkle-free!
What Does Radiesse Treat?
RADIESSE is a volumizing dermal filler that provides a natural definition to restore a more youthful-looking appearance. Not only does it instantly restore volume and diminish deep wrinkles and folds, it stimulates the production of collagen, the main structural protein in our skin that helps our skin look tight, taught, and youthful. As we age, the production of collagen slows down, causing the skin to sag. RADIESSE stimulates the body’s process of generating collagen, and is used to fill in wrinkles long term, while encouraging new development of collagen in the process, resulting in a more rejuvenated appearance. A cosmetic injectable, RADIESSE is comprised of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in an aqueous gel carrier. Once injected, it provides immediate volume and correction and continues to work by stimulating the body to produce its own natural collagen for a long-lasting effect. Over time, the gel is absorbed and the body metabolizes the CaHA microspheres, leaving behind only your own natural collagen.

What is Radiesse?
Radiesse is an advanced dermal filler that restores lost volume, smooths wrinkles, and enhances facial contours. Unlike other fillers, Radiesse works by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, creating long-lasting and natural-looking improvements. Radiesse provides structure and support beneath the skin. It is commonly used to rejuvenate the cheeks, jawline, and hands, helping to address volume loss and signs of aging effectively.
How Long Do Results Last?
Radiesse provides immediate volume after injection, and results continue to improve as collagen production increases. The effects typically last between 12 and 18 months, making it a long-lasting option compared to other fillers. However, results may vary depending on factors such as skin type, metabolism, and lifestyle choices.
Safety and Possible Side Effects
Common side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. These symptoms usually resolve within a few days. Although rare, complications such as uneven texture or lump formation can occur, which is why it is important to receive treatment from a skilled provider. Following aftercare instructions will help minimize risks and optimize your results.
What Patients Are Saying
Patients at Silk: A Medical Spa often praise Radiesse for its ability to provide natural-looking enhancement. Many appreciate the noticeable yet subtle improvements in their skin texture and facial contours. Clients frequently highlight the filler’s longevity and the boost in confidence they experience following treatment.
Before, During, and After Treatment
Preparing for Your Session
To reduce the risk of bruising, avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin or ibuprofen for at least a week before treatment. Be sure to discuss any medical conditions or allergies with your provider during your consultation to ensure the procedure is right for you.
What Happens During Treatment?
Radiesse injections are performed in-office and typically take 30 to 45 minutes. A numbing agent may be applied to enhance comfort. The filler will then be strategically injected into the treatment areas, ensuring even distribution and a natural appearance.
Recovery and Aftercare
After the procedure, it is best to avoid intense physical activity, alcohol consumption, and prolonged sun exposure for at least 24 hours. Some swelling or bruising may occur but typically fades within a few days. Using ice packs and keeping the head elevated can help reduce swelling. Most patients can get back to their regular activities immediately.
Maintaining Your Results
Radiesse provides long-lasting effects, but follow-up treatments may be needed to maintain your desired look. Scheduling a consultation every 12 to 18 months allows your provider to assess whether additional treatments are necessary. A good skincare routine and healthy lifestyle choices can also help extend the benefits of the treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Radiesse®?
RADIESSE® is a dermal filler that temporarily adds volume to help smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (the creases that extend from the corner of your nose to the corner of your mouth). RADIESSE® can also be used for correcting volume loss in the back of the hands.
What Is Radiesse® Made From?
RADIESSE is made of tiny calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. The calcium microspheres are similar to minerals found naturally in the body so allergy testing is not required. Over time, the body absorbs the microspheres and gel, leaving behind only natural collagen.
How Does Radiesse® Work?
Once injected, RADIESSE plumps the skin to give the appearance of a smoother surface. Over time, RADIESSE works to stimulate the body to produce collagen naturally.1 Ultimately the body absorbs the product and leaves behind the natural collagen for long-lasting results
Where Can Radiesse® Be Injected?
RADIESSE can be injected in the following areas:
Smile lines: Also called the nasolabial folds, are the lines that run from the corners of the nose to the corners of the mouth
Marionette lines: The lines that run downward from the corners of the mouth
Corners of the mouth: Also called the oral commissure, if these are turned downward it can make you look as though you’re frowning
Pre-jowl fold: the area on either side of the chin, where skin can sag due to loss of facial volume
Chin wrinkles: horizontal lines that can form on your chin and distract from your smile
What Makes Radiesse® Different From Other Leading Dermal Fillers?
RADIESSE is the only dermal filler available composed of calcium-based microspheres, and has been shown to stimulate the natural production of collagen, for results that may last up to a year or more in many patients. Additionally, in clinical studies with leading hyaluronic acid injectable dermal fillers, results showed that RADIESSE patients were more satisfied with their results than patients treated with other leading wrinkle fillers. In addition, 30% less RADIESSE may be needed for correction when compared to Perlane® injectable gel.
How Soon Will I See Results With Radiesse®, And How Long Will They Last?
Immediately! Upon injection, RADIESSE restores volume to smooth out the signs of aging. The natural-looking results may last up to a year or more in many patients.
What Are The Side Effects Of Treatment With Radiesse®? Is It Safe?
The most common adverse events include bruising, redness, swelling, pain, tenderness and itching. These side effects generally last for a short time and are mild in nature. These are not all of the possible side effects with RADIESSE. Tell your health care provider about any side effects that bother you or do not go away.
RADIESSE® Volumizing Filler is FDA approved, and has undergone rigorous testing in clinical studies to prove its safety. As with all filler treatments, patients may experience redness, bruising, swelling or other local side effects. Most side effects of treatment resolve within a few days. More rare side effects may include swelling that lasts longer, unevenness or firmness in the area injected, and as with any injection, there may be a risk of infection.
How Long Is The Recovery Time?
There is little to no down-time post-treatment with RADIESSE® Volumizing Fillers. The simple, easy, and safe treatment is minimally invasive, so most patients actually resume their normal, daily activities right after their treatment. Every patient is unique, so it is important to discuss your needs with a provider so they can best advise you.
