Radiesse®

What is a Radiesse® Procedure?

Radiesse® is an FDA-approved dermal filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel. Unlike traditional fillers, Radiesse not only restores lost volume immediately but also stimulates your body’s own collagen production over time—giving you both instant lift and long-lasting rejuvenation.

What Aesthetic Issues Does Radiesse® Address?

Radiesse® is designed to:

  • Smooth moderate to severe wrinkles and folds (such as smile lines and marionette lines)
  • Restore volume in areas of facial hollowness
  • Improve definition along the jawline and cheeks
  • Rejuvenate aging hands by reducing the appearance of veins and tendons
