What Is Radiesse®?
Radiesse® is an injectable dermal filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse® dermal filler is non-animal-based, biocompatible, and long-lasting. This FDA-approved product is designed to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles and volume loss in the hands. Over time, Radiesse® filler treatment stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, making it a favorite among those looking for more than just temporary results.
How Radiesse® Works?
Radiesse® filler treatment delivers instant volume through its gel carrier, providing a noticeable lift immediately after injection. As the CaHA microspheres integrate into your tissue, they encourage the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, leading to firmer, smoother skin over time. These effects continue to improve for several months, with results typically lasting 12 to 18 months, depending on the treatment area and individual response.
Radiesse® Treatment Areas
Radiesse® is a versatile collagen-stimulating filler that can address volume loss, deep wrinkles, and skin laxity in both the face and body.
Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
By using this treatment, deep creases around the nose can be softened, as well as those around the mouth. It smooths the area and refreshes the lower face for a more youthful expression.
Marionette lines
An injectable filler adds volume and support to reduce the appearance of downward lines around the mouth. The result is a lifted, more balanced look without the heaviness often seen with aging.
Cheeks and midface volume loss
Restoring volume in the cheeks can enhance natural facial contours and improve overall facial harmony. Treatment in this area also helps subtly lift surrounding features like the under-eyes and lower face.
Chin and jawline contouring
Adding structure to the chin and jawline improves definition and symmetry. This approach is ideal for those looking to refine their profile or reduce the appearance of jowls.
Temples
Volume loss in the temples can create a hollow or sunken appearance. Treating this area helps restore fullness and contributes to a softer, more youthful facial shape.
Hands
With a loss of volume in the hands, veins, bones, and tendons more prominent. Filler restores smoothness and plumpness for hands that look noticeably younger.
Sagging neck, knees, and pre-jowl folds
These areas are prone to skin laxity and thinning with age. Treatment helps improve firmness and elasticity while stimulating collagen to support long-term rejuvenation.

What Happens During a Radiesse® Appointment?
Your aesthetic treatment appointment at Elite MedSpa is carefully designed to ensure comfort, safety, and personalized results:
- Consultation and Assessment: A skilled provider will meet with you to evaluate your goals and determine the most suitable treatment areas for volume restoration and wrinkle reduction.
- Cleansing and numbing: The targeted areas are thoroughly cleansed, and numbing agent is applied to the targeted areas to ensure maximum comfort throughout the injection process.
- Injection process: An injection needle or cannula is used to inject the filler carefully into precise locations. A typical procedure lasts 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.
- Immediate results: You will notice visible improvement in volume and contour right after the procedure, while the results continue to improve as collagen production is stimulated.
- Minimal downtime: Most clients resume normal activities the same day. It is possible for mild swelling or bruising to occur at the injection sites, but this usually resolves within a few days.
How to Prepare and Care for Radiesse® Treatments?
Taking the right steps after your appointment supports natural healing and enhances the quality of your results.
Before Your Appointment:
- Avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood-thinning medications for 24 hours prior to treatment to help reduce the chance of bruising.
- Arrive with clean skin and no makeup in the treatment area.
- Let your provider know if you have any recent infections, rashes, or allergies.
- Make sure you drink plenty of water before the appointment and eat a light meal for comfort.
After Your Appointment:
- The treated areas should not be touched, rubbed, or massaged for at least 24 hours.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, heat exposure (like saunas or hot tubs), and alcohol for 1 to 2 days.
- Maintain hydration and follow a gentle skincare routine, avoiding active or harsh products.
- It is possible that mild swelling or bruising will occur, but it should resolve within a few days.
- It will take time for results to improve as the amount of collagen produced naturally increases.
Following these steps supports proper healing and helps you achieve the best and longest-lasting results from your treatment.
