Radiesse® is one of the longest lasting non-permanent FDA-approved fillers on the market today that can lift facial depressions, lines and wrinkles, fill out cheeks and the back of the hands, and produce immediate results.
Made of calcium-based microspheres that have been used safely in surgical implants for years before being approved in cosmetic use, Radiesse® gives immediate results that usally last 9 months to a year. Radiesse treatments also stimulate collagen growth and skin thickening that lasts even after the filler is gone.

Radiesse® is often used to improve the deeper folds such as the nasolabial folds (running from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth) and the marionette lines (running from the corners of the mouth down to the jaw line).

Radiesse is also a good choice for restoring or enhancing the volume in the cheeks, augmenting the chin and jaw line, and making a bumpy nose appear smooth (nonsurgrical rhinoplasty). See my Table of Filler Pros & Cons that explains in more detail the difference between the cosmetic fillers.

Other areas of the body where Radiesse® can be used are in surgical defects to lift out depressions or scars or in the back of the hands to make bones and veins less prominent.

A topical cream anesthetic is all that's usually required to make Radiesse® injections comfortable and the entire treatment usually takes less than 20 minutes. There may be minimal swelling and redness afterwards, and as with any injection, bruising is a possibility so it's not recommended in the week before an important social event.
Prices for Radiesse are based on the size of the syringe and range from $350 for a small syringe (enough to fill a scar or smooth a nasal bump) to $850 for the large syringe. A disount of 15% is given when 2-3 syringes are used, and there's a 20% discount when 4 or more syringes of filler are used in one session.
