Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Radiesse Biostimulator.

Radiesse Biostimulator uses calcium-based microspheres to provide immediate structural support and stimulate fibroblasts. Over weeks to months, new collagen forms around the particles, restoring volume and improving skin quality. Results combine instant lift with gradual, long-lasting tissue remodeling.

Radiesse is ideal for restoring structure in cheeks, temples, jawline, and hands. It addresses age-related volume loss and improves contour. Suitability is assessed during consultation to tailor placement and amount for natural, proportionate results.

Many patients enjoy progressive improvement that often lasts 12 to 24 months, varying by metabolism and treatment area. Immediate lift is visible, while collagen remodeling continues for months. Annual maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain results.

Most clients experience mild discomfort; topical numbing and ice are used to increase comfort. Expect temporary swelling, bruising, or redness for several days. Most people return to normal activities immediately, avoiding strenuous exercise and heat for 24–48 hours post-treatment.

Radiesse is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding patients, those with active skin infections at injection sites, known hypersensitivity to calcium hydroxylapatite, or certain bleeding disorders. Disclose medical history and medications during consultation to determine safe suitability and alternatives.

Many patients achieve desired correction with a single 60-minute Radiesse Biostimulator session priced at $700, though some benefit from a follow-up touch-up. Maintenance treatments are often scheduled annually to sustain collagen stimulation and volume, tailored per individual's goals.
