Radiesse is a revolutionary dermal filler designed to do more than just fill lines — it rejuvenates your skin from the inside out. This FDA-approved injectable is made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel, which not only provides immediate volume but also stimulates your body’s natural collagen production over time. The result is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin that continues to improve long after your appointment.

What sets Radiesse apart is its dual-action approach. Upon injection, the gel instantly lifts and contours areas that have lost volume, such as the cheeks, jawline, and smile lines. As the gel is absorbed, the CaHA particles remain and act as a scaffold, encouraging your body to produce new collagen. This process helps restore elasticity and structure to the skin, making Radiesse an ideal choice for those seeking both immediate and long-lasting results.

Radiesse is commonly used to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, including nasolabial folds and marionette lines. It’s also a favorite for enhancing cheekbones, defining the jawline, and rejuvenating the backs of hands — an area often overlooked but quick to show signs of aging. If you’re noticing deeper lines, sagging contours, or thinning skin, Radiesse may be the perfect solution to restore a youthful, sculpted appearance.

Most clients choose Radiesse when they want results that last longer than traditional fillers. With effects that typically last 12 to 18 months, it’s a low-maintenance option for those who want to look refreshed without frequent touch-ups. It’s especially popular among individuals seeking facial contouring or collagen stimulation as part of a long-term skincare strategy.

Radiesse Pre-Procedure Instructions

• To minimize bruising avoid the following ~7 days prior to treatment: 
  • baby aspirin, Aleve, Motrin, multivitamins, vitamin E and D, fish oils.
  • These are blood thinners and will cause you to bruise more easily. 
    • Note: DO NOT discontinue baby aspirin or any blood thinners prescribed by a physician before checking with THAT PHYSICIAN.
• Do not drink alcohol at least 24 hours prior to procedure (or 24 hours after injections).
• Do not use dermal fillers if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, are allergic to any of its ingredients, or suffer from any neurological disorders. Please inform your clinician if you have any questions about this prior to the procedure.
• Sunburned skin can sometimes be painful when treated. We always recommend using sunscreen to protect your skin, especially in our desert environment.
• If you are having an injection done to your lips, and are prone to cold sores, contact your clinician for advice on an antiviral therapy.
• Always inform your clinician of all medications you may be taking, as well as any changes in your medical history.

Radiesse Post Procedure Instructions

After each treatment session with Radiesse there are a few easy things you will need to help with the treatment results.

Restoration Lab recommends printing this below instructions and have it accessible, so you remember to do these things every day:

•  Within the first 24 hours, an ice pack wrapped in cloth (avoiding any direct contact of the ice with the skin) should be applied to the treatment area to reduce swelling and bruising.

• Avoid Exposure of the treated area to sun and UV lamp exposure and extreme temperatures for at least 24 hours.
• Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours. 
• Wear SPF 50+ sunscreen appropriate sunscreen protection at all times.
• Treatment with Radiesse can result in small papules in the treated area. These subcutaneous papules are typically not visible and asymptomatic and may be noticed only upon pressing on the treatment area. 

• Radiesse may cause redness, swelling, or bruising when first injected into the skin, typically resolving in hours to one week. 
• Bruising may also occur, typically resolving in hours to about two weeks. Use the Arnica/Bromelain cream purchased at Restoration Lab to help speed up healing. If you notice bruising longer than 2 weeks contact us. 
• The injector professional will assess the need for additional Radiesse injection sessions after at least four weeks.
