What is Radiesse®?

Radiesse® is a collagen and elastin production boosting facial hyaluronic acid dermal filler that offers men and women long-lasting anti-aging benefits. The filler is used for moderate to severe facial wrinkles and creases in the lower part of the face to reinstate its youthful appearance. Radiesse® works by a mechanism of tiny microspheres that stimulate the body’s natural collagen, which is the support structure of your skin. As you age, your body struggles to build collagen and elastin in your body, and your skin weakens and gives way to wrinkles.

What Are the Differences Between Radiesse® vs. Juvéderm®?

Radiesse® and Juvéderm® are both facial fillers. The key difference is how these products work to reduce wrinkles. Radiesse® relies on collagen, and Juvéderm® relies on increased hydration to plump skin. Because it relies on collagen, Radiesse® generally lasts longer than Juvéderm®.

How is Radiesse® Performed?

Like our other dermal fillers and injectables, Radiesse® does not require downtime. While you may experience tenderness, redness or swelling at your injection sites after your treatment, this generally resolves on its own in a few days. All of our patients go back to their normal daily activities without restrictions immediately after treatment.

How Long Will Radiesse® Results Last?

Radiesse® generally lasts 12 to 18 months. This all depends on how quickly your body breaks down the new collagen. We recommend scheduling follow-up appointments to monitor your skin for signs that the collagen is being depleted, and perform additional injections before the effects are noticeable.
