Loss of facial volume and definition can change the way your features look over time. Cheeks may appear flatter, jawlines less defined, and folds more noticeable, even when your skin remains healthy. Radiesse® is an injectable designed to restore structure and contour while also supporting your skin’s natural collagen.
At Boutique Medical Aesthetics in Oakville, Radiesse treatments are approached with precision and a deep understanding of facial anatomy. Cynthia Webb, RN CANS, focuses on balanced results that support your natural features rather than altering them.
What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse is an injectable bio-stimulant dermal filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel carrier. When injected, Radiesse immediately adds volume and lift to targeted areas. Over time, the CaHA microspheres stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, helping maintain structure and support beneath the skin.
This dual-action approach allows Radiesse to provide both immediate contour and longer-term improvement in skin support.
How Radiesse Works
Once injected, the gel component of Radiesse provides instant lift and projection. As the gel gradually dissipates, the calcium-based microspheres remain in place, encouraging collagen production in the treated area.
Collagen plays a key role in skin firmness and structure. By supporting collagen renewal, Radiesse helps maintain facial contours well beyond the initial treatment phase.
Areas Commonly Treated with Radiesse
Radiesse is often used in areas where structure and support are important, including:
- Cheeks
- Jawline
- Lower face
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines
Treatment areas are selected based on your facial anatomy, degree of volume loss, and aesthetic goals.
Radiesse Compared to Other Collagen-Stimulating Injectables
Radiesse offers similar long-term collagen-stimulating benefits to Sculptra®, with one key difference: Radiesse provides immediate volume and lift at the time of treatment. This makes it a preferred option for individuals who want immediate visible contour improvement while also supporting collagen over time.
What to Expect During Treatment
Radiesse treatments are performed in-office and typically take a short amount of time. Before treatment, a detailed discussion helps determine appropriate placement, product volume, and expectations.
You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites, which usually resolves within a few days. Post-treatment guidance is provided to support comfort and results.
Results and Longevity
One of Radiesse’s distinguishing features is its longevity. Results typically last 12 to 24 months, depending on the treatment area, metabolism, and individual factors.
Immediate improvement in contour is visible following treatment, with ongoing collagen support contributing to sustained results. Maintenance timing is discussed based on your goals and response to treatment.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Radiesse?
Radiesse may be suitable for adults experiencing facial volume loss who want both immediate lift and longer-term collagen support. A thorough consultation is essential to determine whether Radiesse aligns with your facial structure, goals, and expectations.
