Overview
What it is.
Radiesse is an advanced dermal filler used in aesthetic treatments to plump up the skin. It is injected under the skin using a fine needle in areas of facial folds, lines, and wrinkles. Radiesse immediately adds volume to smooth facial appearance and continues over time by stimulating the body's own natural collagen production.

What to Expect
Your visit.
Depending on the facial areas treated, Radiesse injections can be performed in as little as 30 minutes or less. After marking the targeted areas, your practitioner will inject a small amount of Radiesse under the skin using a fine needle. As this advanced dermal filler is FDA-approved to mix with lidocaine, a local anesthetic, most patients experience little to no discomfort during treatment.
Recovery
After.
You may return to your normal activities immediately after Radiesse treatment. Avoid strenuous activities and exercise for 24 to 48 hours after the procedure. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which should dissipate quickly.
FAQ
Common questions.
How does Radiesse work?
+
This state-of-the-art facial filler is made of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in an aqueous gel. Once injected, Radiesse adds volume immediately to reduce the appearance of creases and wrinkles and continues to work by stimulating the body to produce more collagen. Over time, the body absorbs the gel and metabolizes the microspheres, leaving only your own natural collagen behind.
Will I need allergy testing for Radiesse treatment?
+
Radiesse is made of calcium-based microspheres, similar to the minerals naturally found in the body, and suspended in a water-based gel. Allergy testing is not required for Radiesse treatment. Patients with a history of severe or multiple allergies and anaphylaxis may not be candidates for this treatment.
How long do results last?
+
Results with Radiesse have been clinically proven to last a year or more in many patients.
Where can Radiesse be injected?
+
Radiesse has been approved by the FDA for correcting moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. At Forever Ageless, we use Radiesse to treat a variety of facial aging issues, including:
- Smile lines — the nasolabial folds that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
- Mouth corners — correcting oral commissure (turned-down mouth corners) that can make you appear as though you're frowning.
- Marionette lines — the lines that run downward from the mouth corners along the sides of the chin.
- Pre-jowl fold — with loss of facial volume, skin can sag on either side of the chin, giving a jowly appearance.
- Chin wrinkles — horizontal lines on the chin that contribute to an aging facial appearance.
How does Radiesse differ from other facial fillers?
+
Radiesse is the only available dermal filler made of calcium-based microspheres, and it has been proven to stimulate natural collagen production with results that can last up to a year or more. Clinical studies — and our own patients — have shown a high level of satisfaction among those treated with Radiesse.
Anything else I should know?
+
No alcohol 48 hours prior to injection (increases swelling and bruising). No exercise for 48 hours after to minimize bruising and swelling.
