28 May Reshape, Restore, Radiate
Injectables have come a long way. Today, they aren’t just about filling lines—they’re about stimulating your own body’s ability to rebuild, firm, and glow from within. At RefinedMD, we offer Radiesse, a unique dermal filler that goes beyond volume restoration to actually help your skin generate more of what it needs: collagen. If you’re looking for a long-term solution to sagging, hollowing, or crepey texture—especially in the lower face and hands—Radiesse offers a next-level approach that’s as smart as it is effective.
Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse works as both a volumizer and a biostimulant. It delivers instant contouring while laying the groundwork for firmer, healthier skin over time. That means natural-looking results now, and a stronger foundation for your skin in the future.
What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse is an FDA-approved injectable filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. When injected, it provides immediate volume while also encouraging your body to produce more collagen and elastin. Over time, as the gel is absorbed and the CaHA particles metabolize, what remains is your skin’s own enhanced structural support—smoother, firmer, and more youthful.
Radiesse is especially suited for areas of the face and body that need deep, structural support. This includes the nasolabial folds, jawline, chin, marionette lines, and even the backs of the hands. It’s also a go-to treatment for skin laxity in areas that don’t respond well to traditional volumizers.
What Makes Radiesse Different
While hyaluronic acid fillers plump by attracting water to the injected area, Radiesse triggers your skin’s natural collagen response. The result is more than temporary volume—it’s real biological regeneration. Think of it not just as a filler, but as a catalyst for change within your skin.
Because it’s more structured, Radiesse is ideal for lifting and contouring. It adds definition to the jawline, softens deep creases, and can even restore a more youthful appearance to aging hands. Over the following months, the collagen that forms around the CaHA microspheres helps prolong results long after the initial product is gone.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Radiesse?
Radiesse is best for patients with moderate to severe volume loss or skin laxity, especially in the lower face or hands. You may be a good candidate if you:
- Want to soften deep facial lines or folds
- Need structure and lift, not just plumpness
- Have thinning, veiny, or crepey hands
- Prefer a long-lasting filler option
- Are interested in collagen stimulation and long-term skin health
It’s a versatile option for patients who are looking for subtle, natural-looking results that improve over time—not just a quick fix. During your consultation at RefinedMD, your provider will evaluate your skin, goals, and anatomy to determine if Radiesse is the right fit for you.
Where Can Radiesse Be Used?
Radiesse is approved for use in several areas and commonly used off-label in others. At RefinedMD, we use Radiesse to enhance:
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines (from corners of the mouth downward)
- Chin and jawline contour
- Pre-jowl sulcus
- Cheeks (for structural lift in certain cases)
- Neck and décolletage (diluted for collagen stimulation)
- Hands (to restore volume and smooth texture)
When injected skillfully, Radiesse blends into the surrounding tissue, offering a natural feel and appearance. It can also be used in a diluted form—often called Radiesse “hyperdilute”—to stimulate collagen in broader areas with crepey or sagging skin.
What to Expect During Treatment
Radiesse injections typically take 30 to 45 minutes and are performed in-office. A topical numbing cream may be applied beforehand, and Radiesse itself is often mixed with lidocaine to reduce discomfort. Using a fine needle or cannula, your provider will place the product in strategic areas to achieve the desired contour or correction.
Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness is common after treatment and usually resolves within a few days. Most patients return to normal activities immediately, though it’s a good idea to avoid intense workouts or pressure on the treated area for 24 to 48 hours.
Results are immediate but continue to improve over several weeks as collagen production increases. Most patients enjoy visible improvement for 12 to 18 months, depending on the area treated and individual skin response.
How Radiesse Supports Long-Term Skin Health
Radiesse isn’t just about what you see in the mirror—it’s about what’s happening beneath the surface. As collagen and elastin levels rise, skin becomes stronger, firmer, and more resilient. This helps prevent future sagging and supports your overall skin integrity as you age.
When used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, Radiesse can be paired with other modalities like Ultherapy, laser resurfacing, or neuromodulators for total facial balancing. At RefinedMD, we’ll design a customized approach based on your goals and timeline.
