Radiesse is a dermal filler and biostimulator in one. It adds volume right away and helps your skin build its own collagen over time, for natural-looking, longer-lasting results. Grace + Grey Med Spa offers Radiesse in Pensacola as part of a personalized treatment plan.
What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse is an FDA-approved injectable made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. The gel provides immediate lift and volume. As it is gradually absorbed, the microspheres stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, which continues to support and firm the skin.
Common Treatment Areas
- Smile lines and marionette lines
- Jawline and chin definition
- Cheek volume and contour
- Back of the hands
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Radiesse is a good fit for adults with moderate to severe lines or volume loss who want results that last longer than many hyaluronic acid fillers. It is not used in the lips or directly under the eyes. Your injector will review your goals and medical history to make sure it is the right choice for you.
What to Expect
Radiesse is mixed with lidocaine for comfort, and treatment usually takes 15 to 30 minutes. Your injector places the filler with a fine needle or cannula, then massages the area for a smooth, even result.
Recovery and Results
Most patients return to their normal routine right away. Mild swelling, bruising or tenderness can occur and usually fades within a few days. You will see improvement immediately, and results continue to build as new collagen forms. Results commonly last a year or more.
Radiesse FAQs
How is Radiesse different from hyaluronic acid fillers?
Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvéderm and Restylane add volume and hydration. Radiesse adds volume and also stimulates collagen, which is why it is considered both a filler and a biostimulator.
Can Radiesse be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Radiesse is often paired with hyaluronic acid fillers, neurotoxins or skin treatments as part of a full-face plan. Your injector will help you decide what makes sense for your goals.
