What is Radiesse?
Radiesse is an injectable dermal filler made of tiny calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel
carrier. Once injected, Radiesse immediately restores volume to smooth out facial folds and wrinkles. Over time, it
stimulates your body’s own natural collagen production for long-lasting results.
Radiesse is FDA-approved to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as:
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines from nose to mouth)
- Marionette lines (lines from mouth to chin)
- Pre-jowl folds
- Chin wrinkles
- Corner of the mouth lines
It can also be used to add volume to the cheeks and temples, and to rejuvenate the back of the hands. With its unique
lifting and contouring abilities, Radiesse is sometimes called a “liquid facelift.”

The Radiesse Treatment Process
Your Radiesse treatment at Columbus Facial Plastics starts with a consultation. We’ll assess your skin and discuss your
aesthetic goals to create a personalized treatment plan.
On the day of treatment, your injector will clean the treatment areas and may apply a numbing cream for your comfort.
Using a fine needle, Radiesse is skillfully injected in small amounts into the mid to deep dermis. Treatments take 15
minutes to an hour, depending on the number of areas treated.
After your Radiesse injections, you may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising, but this typically subsides
within a day or two. You should avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun or heat exposure for 24 hours. Otherwise, you
can resume your normal activities right away.
When Will I See Radiesse Results?
You’ll see visible plumping and smoothing right after your Radiesse treatment. These initial results will improve over
the next week or two as any swelling dissipates. Over the next several months, Radiesse stimulates collagen production,
leading to continued improvement and long-lasting results.
While individual results vary, Radiesse typically lasts 9 to 18 months before a touch-up treatment is needed to maintain
your look. With a healthy lifestyle and good skincare, some patients enjoy their Radiesse results for up to 2 years!
