Radiesse®
At Beauty Refined, Radiesse® is a collagen-stimulating filler that restores volume, lifts facial contours, and improves skin quality, with results lasting 12 to 18 months or longer. Treatment takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes with minimal downtime.
More Than Volume. A Foundation for Lasting Change.
Most dermal fillers replace lost volume temporarily. Radiesse® does that and more. As a calcium hydroxylapatite filler, it provides immediate volumizing lift while triggering the body’s own collagen production beneath the skin’s surface, improving skin structure, firmness, and quality long after the initial treatment.
For adults dealing with significant volume loss, deep folds, or skin laxity that hyaluronic acid fillers alone may not fully address, this filler offers a biostimulatory advantage with greater structural depth and longer-lasting results.
How Radiesse® Works
Radiesse® is a calcium hydroxylapatite filler composed of microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. When injected, the gel provides immediate volume and lift while the microspheres act as a scaffold that stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin. As the microspheres gradually absorb, the newly formed collagen matrix remains, supporting improved skin structure and firmness over time.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Radiesse®?
Radiesse® injections are particularly well-suited for adults experiencing moderate to severe volume loss, deep nasolabial folds, or skin laxity that requires more structural support than hyaluronic acid fillers provide. It is also a strong option for those seeking longer-lasting results with the added benefit of collagen stimulation.
This treatment is not recommended during pregnancy, for individuals with known allergies to any component of the formula, or for those with active skin infections. Because Radiesse® injections are not reversible with hyaluronidase, provider expertise and a thorough consultation are essential before any treatment begins.
What to Expect During Your First Radiesse® Appointment
Your first appointment at Beauty Refined begins with a comprehensive facial assessment and discussion. Your provider will evaluate your facial anatomy, consult your goals, and advise a tailored treatment plan before placing any filler. A topical numbing cream for comfort can be applied. Most sessions take 30 to 60 minutes depending on the areas treated, with results visible immediately. Minor swelling or bruising may occur and typically resolves within a few days.

The Beauty Refined Result
The cheeks that had lost their structure over the years looked lifted and naturally full again. The nasolabial folds that had deepened with time had softened in a way that looked effortless. Months later, the improvement had held, and the skin around the treated areas felt firmer and looked more even. That is what Radiesse® at Beauty Refined delivers: immediate volume restoration built on a foundation of collagen that continues to work long after the appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Radiesse® last?
Results typically last 12 to 18 months or longer, depending on the treatment area, individual metabolism, and the degree of collagen stimulation achieved. Many patients find results extend beyond the initial filler duration as the collagen matrix continues to support the skin.
How is this different from hyaluronic acid fillers?
Radiesse® is a calcium hydroxylapatite filler that stimulates collagen production, while hyaluronic acid fillers primarily add volume through hydration and gel integration. It is not reversible with hyaluronidase, making provider expertise and careful treatment planning especially important.
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during Radiesse® treatment. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand, and this injectable contains lidocaine to minimize discomfort during treatment.
What areas can Radiesse® treat?
It is commonly used for cheek augmentation, nasolabial fold correction, jawline contouring, overall mid-face volume restoration, hand rejuvenation, and neck + decollete skin rejuvenation. Your provider will discuss the most appropriate treatment areas during your consultation.
When will I see results from Radiesse® injections?
Results are visible immediately following treatment. Collagen stimulation continues to improve skin structure and firmness over the following weeks and months, with optimal results typically visible at 3 to 6 months post-treatment.
Can this be combined with other treatments?
Radiesse® pairs well with neuromodulators, hyaluronic acid fillers, and skin rejuvenation treatments for a more comprehensive approach to facial aesthetics. Your provider will recommend the right combination based on your goals.
Who should avoid Radiesse®?
This is not recommended for those who are pregnant, individuals with known allergies to any component of the formula, or those with active skin infections in the treatment area. A thorough consultation with your provider will confirm whether this treatment is appropriate for you.
What should I do before and after treatment?
Avoid alcohol and blood thinners for at least 24 hours before your appointment. Avoid any dental cleanings or work for 2 weeks before and after your treatment. After treatment, avoid intense exercise, excessive heat, and pressure on the treated area for 24 to 48 hours. Your provider will walk you through a complete pre- and post-care guide at your appointment.
