Radiesse

What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is a unique dermal filler that not only restores volume and smooths out wrinkles but also stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. It's made of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel, which gives your skin immediate volume and structure. Over time, it continues to improve your skin's texture and firmness as your body generates more collagen.

How does Radiesse work?

When your dermatologist injects Radiesse into targeted areas, the gel immediately fills in wrinkles and adds volume to sunken areas of your face or hands. Unlike other fillers, Radiesse doesn’t just offer a temporary fix; its calcium-based microspheres work beneath your skin to promote collagen production.

As the gel absorbs, your natural collagen builds, giving you long-lasting results. This dual-action approach makes Radiesse stand out as an immediate and long-term solution for signs of aging.

Am I a candidate for Radiesse?

You may be a great candidate for Radiesse if you're looking to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles, like nasolabial folds (the lines running from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth). It’s also an excellent choice if you’re experiencing volume loss in areas such as your cheeks or hands.

Radiesse is an ideal treatment if you prefer long-lasting results without frequent touch-ups. However, your practitioner may not recommend it if you have a history of severe allergies or specific medical conditions.

During your consultation, your Manhattan Dermatology practitioner can discuss whether Radiesse is right for you based on your skin type, medical history, and aesthetic goals.

When will I notice my results from Radiesse treatment?

You’ll see an immediate improvement in the treated areas right after your Radiesse session, as the filler instantly adds volume. Over the next few months, your results will continue to improve as the microspheres stimulate collagen production.

One of the key benefits of Sculptra is its long-lasting results. Although it may take a few months for the full effects to become visible as collagen builds, the results can last up to two years or more.

Many patients enjoy their results for a year or more, depending on the treatment area and how your body responds. Occasional touch-up treatments can help maintain your refreshed, youthful look.
