Radiesse®
Instant volume with lasting collagen support
What Is Radiesse®?
Radiesse is the only FDA-approved calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) filler, trusted worldwide to restore volume and improve skin quality. Unlike traditional fillers that only add fullness, it provides immediate lift while also stimulating collagen and elastin for gradual, long-term rejuvenation. In its hyperdilute form, Radiesse is thinned with a saline solution and lidocaine, making it spreadable across larger or delicate areas—like the neck, chest, and hands—to firm lax skin, smooth crepiness, and improve overall texture.
Type of Treament
Minimally invasive injectable biostimulatory filler that restores volume and stimulates collagen for natural-looking rejuvenation in the face, hands, neck, and body.
Results Timeline
Enjoy immediate volume correction after treatment, with collagen stimulation continuing to improve skin quality over 4–6 weeks and lasting 12–18 months.
Am I a Good Candidate for Radiesse®?

How Radiesse Works
The science behind Radiesse lies in its calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a smooth gel carrier. When injected, these tiny spheres act as a biodegradable scaffold that provides immediate structural support while your body recognizes them as safe—calcium hydroxylapatite is naturally found in bones and teeth. Over the following weeks, your body builds new collagen around these microspheres, gradually replacing the gel with your own natural tissue. As the calcium particles slowly dissolve, they leave behind newly formed collagen that maintains improved contour and firmness, which is why Radiesse results actually strengthen over time.
Why Choose Radiesse at Applied Aesthetic?
Longer-Lasting Than Traditional Fillers
Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres give this filler a thicker, more durable consistency than hyaluronic acid fillers, providing results that last 12–18 months with less maintenance.
Immediate and Progressive Results
See instant volume correction right after treatment, then watch your results actually improve over the following months as your body produces new collagen.
Natural-Looking Enhancement
Because Radiesse stimulates your own collagen production, results look and feel completely natural, which surface-level fixes simply cannot match.
Flexible by Design
In its hyper-dilute form, the treatment is thinned to spread across larger areas—like the neck, chest, and hands—for a smoother texture, firmer skin, and natural rejuvenation.
Comprehensive Skin Rejuvenation
Whether it’s facial contouring or hand rejuvenation, Radiesse tackles multiple concerns in one treatment, restoring beauty from your face to your fingertips.

Questions? We have answers!
How is Radiesse different from other fillers?
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that only add temporary volume, Radiesse is biostimulatory—meaning it stimulates collagen and elastin production. This dual action provides both immediate correction and gradual improvement in skin quality, with results that last longer and often require fewer maintenance appointments.
What is Hyperdilute Radiesse used for?
When Radiesse is thinned, it becomes spreadable for larger or delicate areas such as the neck, chest, hands, and body. In this hyperdilute form, it improves skin texture, firmness, and elasticity without creating added volume.
How long do Radiesse results last?
Most clients enjoy results for 12–18 months. Improvements are visible immediately and continue to build over the first 4–6 weeks as natural collagen production increases. Longevity may vary based on metabolism, lifestyle, and the area treated, but collagen stimulation often provides benefits even beyond the visible filler.
Is Radiesse safe for all skin types?
Yes. Radiesse is FDA-approved and safe for all skin types and ethnicities. Its calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres are biocompatible—naturally found in bones and teeth—making allergic reactions extremely rare. During your consultation, your provider will review your medical history to ensure treatment is right for you.
Can Radiesse be used on hands as well as the face?
Yes. Radiesse is FDA-approved for both facial and hand rejuvenation. It restores volume to the back of the hands, reduces the appearance of veins and tendons, and smooths skin texture. Most hand treatments require 1–2 syringes and provide a dramatic yet natural improvement.
How many Radiesse treatments will I need?
Most people achieve their goals with a single session. Some may benefit from a touch-up 4–6 weeks later for optimal results. Because Radiesse lasts longer than most fillers, ongoing maintenance is less frequent.
What should I avoid after Radiesse treatment?
Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and alcohol for 24 hours. Do not massage treated areas unless instructed, as this may affect placement. Most clients are able to return to normal activities immediately.
