What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse® is a calcium hydroxylapatite-based dermal filler designed to restore volume, lift sagging skin, and stimulate collagen production. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse provides immediate structural support while promoting natural collagen growth over time.
It is particularly effective in the lower face, including areas such as:
- Jawline and jowls
- Marionette lines (corners of the mouth)
- Chin and lower cheeks
How Radiesse Works for the Lower Face
Radiesse works in two ways:
- Immediate Volume & Lift – Provides structure to sagging skin, smoothing folds and defining contours.
- Collagen Stimulation – Over weeks and months, it encourages natural collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and long-term rejuvenation.
Benefits of Radiesse for the Lower Face
- ✅ Non-surgical and minimally invasive
- ✅ Immediate lift and contouring
- ✅ Stimulates natural collagen production
- ✅ Long-lasting results – typically 12–18 months
- ✅ Improves sagging skin, folds, and wrinkles
The Treatment Process
- Consultation – Your provider evaluates facial structure and areas of volume loss.
- Preparation – The treatment area is cleansed and numbing cream may be applied.
- Injections – Radiesse is strategically placed to lift sagging skin, smooth folds, and define contours.
- Recovery – Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur but usually resolves in a few days.
- Results – Immediate lifting and volume, with continued improvement over 2–4 weeks as collagen develops.
How Long Do Results Last?
Radiesse results typically last 12–18 months, depending on the patient’s metabolism and lifestyle. Touch-ups help maintain the desired lift and contour.
Possible Side Effects
Radiesse is generally safe when administered by a qualified injector. Temporary side effects may include:
- Mild swelling, redness, or bruising
- Tenderness at injection sites
- Rare lumps or asymmetry (adjustable with professional care)
