How Does Radiesse Work?
Radiesse is a unique dermal filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. When injected, it provides immediate volume and lift to the treated areas. Over time, Radiesse stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, leading to long-lasting results. This dual-action approach not only corrects wrinkles and folds but also helps improve skin quality and elasticity.

What to Expect with Radiesse
During your Radiesse treatment at CDAM, our experienced dermatologists will carefully inject the filler into predetermined areas based on your aesthetic goals. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the areas being treated. Radiesse contains lidocaine, which helps minimize discomfort during the injection process. There’s minimal downtime associated with Radiesse treatments, allowing most patients to return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure.
Radiesse Results
You’ll notice immediate improvements in volume and contour after your Radiesse treatment. As the gel carrier is gradually absorbed by your body, the CaHA microspheres continue to stimulate collagen production, leading to longer-lasting results. Most patients enjoy their Radiesse results for 12 to 18 months, though individual experiences may vary. To maintain optimal results, follow-up treatments may be recommended by our dermatologists.
The Side Effects of Radiesse
As with any injectable treatment, some side effects may occur with Radiesse. These can include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites. Most side effects are mild and resolve within a few days. Our dermatologists will discuss potential side effects and provide detailed aftercare instructions during your consultation.
