Radiesse®Bio-Filler
Liquid Bone Structure.
If HA fillers are 'jelly', Radiesse is 'cement'. It mimics the strength of bone to create razor-sharp jawlines, lifted cheeks, and structured chins. Plus, it essentially forces your skin to grow new collagen around it.
It's Not Just Filler
It's a framework for your face.
Most fillers just take up space. Radiesse does more. Made of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, it provides an immediate mechanical lift (instant gratification) AND acts as a scaffold for new tissue growth (long-term investment). Over time, the gel absorbs, but your natural collagen network remains.
Instant definition
Because it has a high 'G-Prime' (stiffness), it's perfect for mimicking bone on the jawline and chin.
Collagen Factory
Stimulates Type 1 collagen and Elastin production for better skin quality.
Hand Rejuvenation
The first FDA-approved filler to correct volume loss in the back of the hands.
How It Works
Bio-stimulation at its finest.
The Scaffold
The microspheres create a structure that cells attach to, like vines growing on a trellis.
Hyper-Dilute Technique
We can dilute Radiesse to treat large areas of crepey skin (neck, chest, booty) without adding bulk.
Long Term
Even after the carrier gel is gone, the new tissue structure supports your face.
Safety Profile
CaHA is identical to the mineral portion of human bone. It's completely bio-compatible.
Ideal Profile
Best for structure seekers.
Perfect For
- +Undefined or weak jawline/chin
- +Deep nasolabial folds
- +Aged, veiny hands
- +Crepey skin on neck or body (Hyper-dilute)
- +People who want results that last longer than standard fillers
Skip It If
- –You want lips or undereyes treated (It's too thick!)
- –You aren't sure and might want to dissolve it later (It's not reversible!)
- –Active infection

**Results vary.
The Basics
Can it be dissolved?+
No. Radiesse is not reversible like HA fillers. That's why choosing an expert injector (like us) is non-negotiable. It does metabolize naturally over time.
Is it hard/stiff?+
It feels firmer than HA filler, which is why it's great for bone structure (jaw/chin). It shouldn't feel 'hard' to the touch once settled.
What is Hyper-Dilute?+
We mix Radiesse with saline to thin it out. It doesn't add volume, but spreads over a large area to stimulate collagen acting like a 'skin tightener'.
Face vs Hands?+
It's FDA approved for both! It's actually the gold standard for hand rejuvenation.
How is it different from Sculptra?+
Sculptra = Gradual volume (wait months). Radiesse = Immediate volume + later collagen. Radiesse is better for specific defining (jaw); Sculptra is better for global volumizing.
