Lift, firm, and smooth with collagen-boosting Radiesse
When facial aging leaves you with deep folds, volume loss, or skin that just feels less firm, Radiesse offers a dual-action solution.
This unique injectable filler not only provides immediate volume — it also stimulates long-term collagen and elastin production for a smoother, more lifted look.
At Metro Medspa, Radiesse is one of our go-to options for restoring contour and structure, particularly in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and deep nasolabial folds. It’s a favorite among patients and providers alike for its natural-looking results and long-lasting effects.
Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA)-based dermal filler suspended in a soft gel carrier. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that focus only on volume, Radiesse goes deeper. It acts as a scaffold in the deep dermis, encouraging your body to rebuild collagen and elastin around the injection site.
The formula contains calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres, which are gradually absorbed by the body as it creates its own natural connective tissue. The result is firmer, tighter skin with improved facial contours and fewer wrinkles.
Radiesse is ideal for treating volume loss in the midface, lower face, neck, chest, knees, hands, and butt.
Your Radiesse treatment starts with a consultation and skin assessment. On the day of the procedure, we’ll cleanse the skin and apply a topical anesthetic or local anesthesia to reduce discomfort. The injection is performed using linear threading or a cross-hatching technique, depending on the area.
The process usually takes 30–45 minutes. You’ll see immediate results from the gel carrier, with new collagen production developing over the following weeks.
You may have minor swelling or bruising in the treated area, which typically resolves in a few days. Ice packs can help reduce swelling, and we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for 24–48 hours post-treatment.
Radiesse is used to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds and to restore volume in areas affected by aging and fat loss. Common treatment areas include:
Radiesse is also used for non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments that improve structure without surgery.
Radiesse stands out from other injectable fillers with its ability to both fill and firm. Key benefits include:
It’s especially effective for aging skin that’s lost elasticity due to environmental factors or collagen breakdown over time.
Many patients experiencing volume loss or deep wrinkles are good candidates for Radiesse. It’s especially suited for patients who want longer-lasting results and a firmer, more structured appearance.
You should avoid Radiesse if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. Your provider will review your medical history prior to treatment to minimize risk and avoid complications.
Recovery after Radiesse treatment is typically minimal. You might notice some swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites. To reduce swelling, apply an ice pack and keep your head elevated for a day or two.
Avoid sun exposure, strenuous exercise, and alcohol for 24–48 hours to support healing. Most patients resume normal activities quickly, and any side effects usually fade within a few days. Your provider will review aftercare with you to ensure a smooth return to daily activities.
You’ll notice a difference right away thanks to the immediate volume of the gel carrier. Over time, your skin will continue to improve as Radiesse stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin.
Results can last up to two years, depending on the treatment area, lifestyle, and other factors. Many patients return for maintenance treatments once or twice a year to maintain their results.
At Metro Medspa, our providers use Radiesse with precision and intention. Every injection is guided by anatomical expertise, an eye for balance, and a commitment to safety.
We don’t chase trends or overfill — we help you achieve natural-looking volume, lifted contours, and skin that reflects your inner vibrancy.
Radiesse not only provides volume but also stimulates collagen and elastin production. It’s firmer and better suited for deeper folds and structure.
Most patients see results for 12 to 24 months, depending on the treatment area and lifestyle factors.
Yes. Radiesse is FDA-approved and made of biocompatible materials. When injected by trained providers, it has a strong safety profile.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. A topical anesthetic is used to numb the area before treatment.
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse cannot be dissolved. It naturally breaks down over time.
Avoid excessive sun exposure, strenuous exercise, and blood thinners or alcohol for 24–48 hours.
Radiesse is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with severe allergies, or anyone with a bleeding disorder.
You’ll see immediate improvement in volume, with additional collagen effects appearing over several weeks.
