What Is Radiesse?

A FIRMER FILLER, ABSORBED OVER TIME

Radiesse is an injectable filler made of calcium hydroxylapatite, a mineral that is a major component of bone, carried in a water based gel. It is placed beneath the skin to support deeper facial folds, such as the lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth, and it is firmer than the hyaluronic acid fillers most people know. Radiesse is FDA approved for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds; Radiesse (+), the version with lidocaine, is approved for the same facial folds and for moderate to severe loss of jawline contour in adults 22 and older.

Radiesse is not reversible the way hyaluronic acid filler is. Hyaluronidase, the enzyme we keep on site to dissolve hyaluronic acid filler, does not act on calcium hydroxylapatite. Radiesse is absorbed by the body over time. If you want a result you can undo, we will say so at your consultation and talk through a different product. We would rather tell you that before you book than after.

Dermatologic surgeons describe calcium hydroxylapatite as a filler that can also increase collagen production where it is injected, which is why Radiesse sits with the biostimulators at R.Ve Aesthetics. The support you see on the day comes from the product itself. Any change in the skin over the months that follow is something we discuss with you, not something we promise.

4 Reasons People Choose To Get Radiesse

To Soften Deeper Folds

For smile lines and marionette lines that a lighter filler has not held, or that need firmer support beneath them.

To Define the Jawline

Radiesse (+) is placed deep along the jaw where contour has been lost, for a line that reads more clearly in profile.

To Have a Filler That Holds Its Shape

A firmer product that gives support where it is placed on the day of treatment, chosen for areas that need structure.

To Have It Done Under Physician Supervision

Radiesse is a medical procedure. At R.Ve it is performed by a licensed provider with a physician responsible for the practice and a written plan before anything begins.

The consultation decides whether Radiesse is the right product, and where

WHAT RADIESSE TREATS

At R.Ve Aesthetics no one is treated on a first visit without a consultation. We look at your face, listen to what bothers you, and decide together whether Radiesse is the right product for that area or whether a hyaluronic acid filler, a different biostimulator, or waiting fits better. Sometimes the best advice is to wait, and we will tell you that too. You leave with a written plan that names the product, the areas, and the syringe count, and you book when you are ready, or not at all.

Radiesse at R.Ve is sourced from the manufacturer or its authorized US distributor. Before any treatment you are welcome to ask to see the syringe and its packaging, and we will show you. We would rather show you than tell you.

Where	What it rebuilds
Smile lines (nasolabial folds)	Folds that look softer, with support placed beneath them.
Marionette lines	Less of the downward pull at the corners of the mouth.
Lines and folds of the lower face	Firmer support where the lower face has lost structure.
Jawline definition, with Radiesse (+)	A jawline that reads more clearly where contour has been lost.
Deeper folds where a lighter filler did not hold	A result that holds its shape, placed conservatively.

Results vary from person to person, settle over the first two weeks as swelling resolves, and are reviewed with you at your two week check in, which is included.

Benefits of Radiesse

SUPPORT YOU CAN SEE ON THE DAY.

Radiesse gives its correction at the visit, then settles as the swelling goes down.

Visible at the Visit

The correction is there when you leave, with some swelling on top of it for the first days.

Made for Folds and Contour

A firmer product placed deep, for the folds and the jawline.

A Result That Lasts Within Reason

In the clinical study behind the approval, 78.6 percent of treated folds were still improved at six months.

A Plan in Writing

Product, areas, and syringe count are written down at the consultation, before you commit to anything.

Honest About Reversibility

Radiesse cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase. We tell you that first, and we place it conservatively because of it.

Performed Under Physician Supervision

A licensed provider, written emergency protocols, and emergency medications on site.

The Visit

What To Expect During & Post Treatment

Consultation & Assessment

We go through your medical history, your medications, any allergies, and whether you bruise or bleed easily, then look at the areas that bother you. If Radiesse is not the right product for you, or for that area, we say so and talk through what is.

Comfort

Radiesse (+) carries lidocaine in the syringe, and a topical numbing cream can be used as well. You will still feel pressure and some stinging. Tell us at the consultation if you have ever reacted to lidocaine or another local anesthetic.

Treatment

The product is placed deep beneath the skin, slowly and in small amounts, in the areas set out in your plan. Radiesse is placed to correct a fold or a contour. We do not overfill, and we would rather add a little at your review than regret what cannot be dissolved.

Immediately after

Swelling, redness, some bruising, and tenderness at the injection points are expected. The correction you see on the day includes some swelling, so judge the result at two weeks, not at the door.

Aftercare

Limit sun and heat on the treated area for 24 hours, or until the swelling and redness have settled. You leave with our written aftercare instructions and a clear list of what to call us about.

Downtime

For the face, bruising, redness, and swelling are short term and usually gone within a week. For the jawline, swelling, firmness, and small lumps that you can feel are common and for most people last two weeks or less; a jawline treatment can also temporarily affect how your jaw functions.

Results timeline & review

The result is visible at the visit and settles over the first two weeks. We see you for a review two weeks after treatment, included in your plan, and decide together whether anything is added.

Who it isn’t for

Radiesse is postponed or ruled out for some people. Tell us if you have a history of severe allergic reactions or anaphylaxis, or several severe allergies; if you have a bleeding disorder; if you take blood thinners; if you have reacted to lidocaine or another local anesthetic; if you have an active skin infection, a breakout, or a cold sore near the area; or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. None of these is a diagnosis we make from a web page. They are the things we ask about at the consultation, and some of them mean a different treatment is the better choice.

Radiesse is not a lip filler, and it is not used under the eyes. Nodules have been reported when it is placed in the lips, and the area around the eyes has not been studied. For those areas we talk through a different product.

Per syringe, and in writing

Radiesse is priced per syringe, by area, with the full plan quoted in writing at your consultation. Ask us what the price includes before you book. The two week review is included.

Questions, Answered

How is Radiesse different from Sculptra?

Radiesse gives its correction at the visit; Sculptra builds gradually over a series of sessions. Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid, placed in small amounts across several visits, and the change comes over weeks and months as the body responds to it. Radiesse is calcium hydroxylapatite, placed where support is needed, and the result is there when you leave. Which one fits you depends on the area, how much support it needs, and how you want the change to arrive, and that is a consultation question.

How is Radiesse different from hyaluronic acid filler?

Radiesse is firmer and it cannot be dissolved. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be adjusted with hyaluronidase if you change your mind; Radiesse is absorbed by the body over time instead. That makes hyaluronic acid the better choice for a first filler in many cases, and Radiesse the choice for folds and contour that need firmer support. We will tell you which one we recommend for you, and why.

How long does Radiesse last?

In the clinical study behind the approval, 78.6 percent of treated folds were still improved at six months, which is where the formal measurement stopped. For the jawline, 67.3 percent of the people who responded at three months still had their result at 48 weeks. Dermatologic surgeons put typical results at about a year. Your own result depends on the area, the amount placed, and you, and repeat treatment is planned at your review, never assumed.

Can Radiesse be dissolved?

No. Hyaluronidase dissolves hyaluronic acid filler and has no effect on calcium hydroxylapatite. Radiesse is absorbed by the body over time. That is one reason we place it conservatively, one reason we do not use it in the lips or under the eyes, and one reason the consultation matters more with Radiesse than with a filler that can be reversed.

What are the risks of Radiesse?

Swelling, redness, bruising, pain, and itching at the injection points are the most common effects and usually settle within days. Lumps and bumps you can feel, and firmness, are common after jawline treatment and usually settle within two weeks. Less often, people have an infection, a lump that stays, or a reaction to the product. The most serious risk with any filler is unintended injection into a blood vessel, which can cause tissue damage, vision changes including blindness, or stroke. Call us right away if you have changes in your vision, signs of a stroke such as sudden difficulty speaking, weakness, or face drooping, a white, gray, or blue appearance of the skin near the injection site, or unusual pain during or shortly after treatment. The FDA lists these effects for dermal fillers. One more thing to know: calcium hydroxylapatite shows up on CT scans and can show on X-rays, so tell your doctor, dentist, or radiologist that you have had Radiesse.

Does Radiesse hurt?

Some, and we plan for it. Radiesse (+) has lidocaine mixed into the syringe, and a topical numbing cream can be used as well. You will feel pressure and some stinging, and the jawline is firmer work than the folds. Tell your provider at any point if it is more than you expected.

Where on the face is Radiesse used?

Deeper folds and the lower face, and the jawline with Radiesse (+). It is placed beneath the skin for smile lines, marionette lines, and the folds of the lower face, and deep along the jaw for contour. It is not used in the lips or under the eyes, where a different product is the right choice. Your written plan names each area before anything is placed.
