Radiesse® is a filler made with calcium hydroxyapatite, which occurs naturally in the body.
As we age, our bone and fat structure changes so that volume loss occurs. Radiesse not only instantly restores facial volume loss, but over time works with your body to stimulate collagen growth for long lasting results. This is the product we use to achieve the “liquid face lift”.

Common Questions
What is the procedure like?
The face is numbed with a topical anesthetic or ice, then small amounts of Radiesse® is injected with a tiny needle. Because there is lidocaine mixed in with the filler, the discomfort is minimal and results are immediate.
What areas can be treated?
Radiesse® is best in areas of volume loss—the cheekbones, chin, nasolabial folds between the corners of the nose and lips, and marionette lines that pull the corners of the lips down. It is also great for the backs of hands to diminish the bony and veiny look that occurs with volume loss and age.
How long will the results last?
Radiesse® is one of the longer lasting fillers available in the US. In general it lasts up to 10 months although many patients see results for a year or more.
What can I expect after a treatment?
As with all fillers, you can expect mild redness, swelling, and bruising which usually resolves after a few days. Rarely, nodules can occur.
