People who opt for Radiesse injections often focus on specific areas of the face, especially around the nose and mouth, where wrinkles or folds may appear.

Why choose Radiesse injections?
Radiesse is a collagen biostimulator that goes beyond simple fillers. Hyaluronic acid products are commonly used to treat deep wrinkles and restore volume, but some may seek a more natural and subtle effect. This treatment focuses on stimulating collagen production, ensuring long-term rejuvenation.
Radiesse uses calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres, a substance naturally present in the body, to provide an immediate volumizing effect while triggering a biological response that prompts the skin to produce more collagen. This allows for long-lasting results, often visible for 12 to 18 months, with smoother and firmer skin.
The procedure for Radiesse
Our doctor will perform the Radiesse injection in his office, using local anesthesia. You may feel some discomfort or slight pain during each injection. First, our doctor will identify the areas to be treated with the injections. Then, he will apply an antiseptic to the affected areas. After that, he will determine the appropriate dosage for you. Finally, the injections will be performed. Radiesse sessions can last up to 15-20 minutes, depending on the number of injections needed. You will not need any recovery time in the office and will be able to go home immediately after the injections.
What are the expectations after a Radiesse treatment?
You will notice an immediate improvement in the treated skin. Within a week, the results will be fully visible. The Radiesse treatment is not permanent, so it will be necessary to repeat it as needed. For some, one session every two years may be sufficient, while others may need maintenance injections between main treatments. Swelling should be mild and resolve within 36 hours. You may have some bruising and discomfort, which you can soothe with over-the-counter medications. Although you can resume your normal activities immediately, it is advisable to avoid strenuous exercise or other physical activities. Your skin may be more sensitive to the sun, so stay out of direct sunlight and heat for at least 24 hours or until redness and swelling have subsided.

Radiesse or Sculptra injections?
Radiesse and Sculptra are both popular treatments for plumping and improving the appearance of skin, but there are some notable differences.
Radiesse provides an instant volumizing effect while stimulating collagen production for long-lasting results. This treatment is often recommended for deep wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and hand rejuvenation. In contrast, Sculptra causes an inflammatory response that promotes collagen production, but results typically take a few weeks to appear.
Sculptra is ideal for those looking for a more gentle, natural approach. Choosing between Radiesse and Sculptra will depend on your personal expectations for immediate or gradual results.
How much does Radiesse treatment cost?
Syringes are typically priced at $750/syringe. The amount of Radiesse needed may vary depending on the number of injections required. Your doctor will estimate the number of injections based on the areas of your face that need to be treated. Another factor to consider is the dosage needed per injection. Given the many factors involved, it can be difficult to estimate the total cost of Radiesse before your initial consultation. Radiesse is considered an elective cosmetic procedure. It is unlikely that your insurance will cover these injections, so it is advisable to get accurate estimates from your doctor beforehand. If the cost is beyond your means, do not hesitate to discuss financing options with our clinic office.
