Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) biostimulator that delivers immediate volume while triggering your body's natural collagen production for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Radiesse is a CaHA biostimulator composed of 30% calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres (25-45 μm) suspended in a 70% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) gel carrier. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse delivers dual-action results: immediate volume restoration plus ongoing neocollagenesis as the CaHA microspheres stimulate production of collagen Types I and III, along with elastin.
Radiesse offers two treatment approaches. At full concentration, it's ideal for adding volume to cheeks, defining the jawline, and rejuvenating aging hands—the only filler approved for both face and hands. When diluted with saline and lidocaine (Hyperdilute Radiesse), it becomes a pure biostimulator that improves skin quality, texture, and laxity across the neck, décolletage, and body without adding significant volume.
Calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres provide immediate volume while triggering neocollagenesis—collagen Types I and III plus elastin production.
The only filler approved for both face and hands—corrects visible veins, tendons, and volume loss on aging hands.
Unlike HA fillers that attract water and can cause swelling, CaHA provides stable, predictable volume without water absorption.
When diluted, Radiesse becomes a pure biostimulator for skin quality improvement across neck, décolletage, and body.
Calcium hydroxylapatite is naturally found in bones and teeth, with over 15 years of clinical use worldwide.
Radiesse is suitable for individuals seeking aesthetic improvements with minimal invasiveness. The best candidates are:
In good overall health with realistic expectations
Seeking natural-looking enhancement or correction
Non-smokers or willing to quit temporarily
Not pregnant or nursing
Free from active skin infections or conditions in treatment area
Committed to following pre and post-treatment instructions
Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres—a completely different material than the hyaluronic acid (HA) in Juvederm or Restylane. Key differences: (1) CaHA provides immediate volume PLUS triggers neocollagenesis (new collagen production), while HA only adds volume; (2) CaHA doesn't attract water like HA, providing more predictable, stable results; (3) Radiesse cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase like HA fillers can. Choose Radiesse for collagen stimulation; choose HA fillers if reversibility is important.
Traditional Radiesse at full concentration acts as a volumizing filler—ideal for cheek augmentation, jawline contouring, and hand rejuvenation. Hyperdilute Radiesse is the same CaHA product mixed with saline and lidocaine to create a thinner consistency. This diluted form acts primarily as a biostimulator, improving skin quality, texture, and firmness without adding noticeable volume. It's commonly used across larger areas: neck, décolletage, arms, abdomen, and above the knees.
Yes—Radiesse is the only filler approved for both face and hands. It's highly effective for hand rejuvenation, restoring volume to reduce the appearance of visible veins, tendons, and bony structures that become more prominent with age. The CaHA microspheres provide immediate volume while stimulating collagen production for natural-looking results.
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase because they're made of HA, which occurs naturally in your body. Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA)—a mineral compound similar to what's found in bones and teeth. There's no enzyme that dissolves CaHA, so Radiesse results are not reversible. However, this also means your body gradually absorbs it naturally over time without intervention.
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the treatment site. Because Radiesse cannot be dissolved, proper technique and placement are essential. Serious complications are rare when performed by an experienced injector like your provider.
