Radiesse restores youthful definition by replenishing lost volume and smoothing wrinkles. At Advanced Dermatology & Skin Cancer Associates, this collagen-stimulating filler targets smile lines, marionette lines, and aging hands to enhance natural contours and promote long-lasting, rejuvenated skin from within.
Replenish Lost Collagen for Smoother Skin
Radiesse is a next-generation filler formulated to do more than temporarily smooth wrinkles: it helps your skin rebuild its own collagen. When you receive Radiesse, calcium-based microspheres are injected beneath your skin to restore lost volume and definition. Over time, these microspheres stimulate natural collagen production, improving firmness and elasticity long after treatment. You’ll notice smoother, lifted, and more youthful contours that continue to refine with time, offering both instant results and long-term rejuvenation.
Radiesse Treats:
- Smile lines (nasolabial folds) that deepen with age
- Marionette lines around the mouth and chin
- Pre-jowl folds and sagging along the jawline
- Volume loss in the cheeks and lower face
- Wrinkled or thinning skin on the hands
How Does Radiesse Work?
Radiesse works through a unique dual-action process combining immediate volume restoration with long-term collagen stimulation. It’s made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. When injected, the gel fills wrinkles and hollows, while the microspheres create a supportive framework beneath the skin. Over time, these CaHA particles stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin, strengthening your skin’s structure naturally. As the gel and microspheres are gradually metabolized, your body’s own collagen takes their place, maintaining improved firmness, elasticity, and youthful contour.

Radiesse FAQs
What Makes Radiesse Different From Other Dermal Fillers?
Radiesse stands out because it doesn’t just fill wrinkles: it helps your skin rebuild its structure. Most fillers use hyaluronic acid to create temporary volume, but Radiesse is made with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel. These microspheres stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, creating long-term improvement in skin firmness.
What Should I Expect During the Treatment?
Your Radiesse treatment is a quick, in-office procedure that takes 30 to 45 minutes. After cleansing the area, your provider may apply a numbing agent to ensure comfort. Using a fine needle, Radiesse is injected beneath the skin. You’ll notice an immediate improvement in volume and contour. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness for a few days after treatment, but there’s no downtime. Most people return to normal activities the same day.
How Soon Will I See Results After Radiesse?
You’ll see visible results immediately after your treatment, as the gel provides instant lift and volume. The true transformation, however, continues to unfold in the following weeks. As the CaHA microspheres stimulate collagen production, your skin gradually becomes firmer.
How Long Do Results From Radiesse Last?
The results typically last 12 to 18 months, depending on the treatment area, your metabolism, and lifestyle factors. Because Radiesse stimulates collagen, some patients enjoy improvements that extend even beyond this timeframe. Over time, the filler is metabolized by your body, but the newly formed collagen helps maintain smoother, firmer skin.
