Radiesse: Restore Volume and Stimulate Collagen for a Lifted Look

As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin, and volume loss in key areas of the face and hands. If you’re seeking a long-lasting solution to restore youthful volume and smooth away wrinkles, Radiesse might be the perfect option for you. This FDA-approved dermal filler not only provides immediate results but also stimulates your body’s natural collagen production for long-term benefits. At LaBella Skin Aesthetics, we offer Radiesse to help you achieve a lifted, rejuvenated appearance. In this blog post, we’ll explore what Radiesse is, how it works, and the benefits it offers for facial and hand rejuvenation.


What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is an injectable dermal filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. This unique formulation gives Radiesse the ability to provide immediate volume to the skin while also stimulating the production of collagen over time.


It’s commonly used to treat volume loss and wrinkles in the mid-face, nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, and the backs of the hands. Because of its collagen-boosting properties, Radiesse not only restores lost volume but also improves skin firmness and elasticity over time.


How Does Radiesse Work?

Radiesse works in two phases:

  1. Immediate Volume Restoration: After being injected, the CaHA microspheres provide immediate volume to fill in wrinkles and restore fullness to areas like the cheeks, jawline, and hands. This immediate lifting effect smooths out deep folds and enhances facial contours.

  2. Long-Term Collagen Stimulation: Over time, the CaHA microspheres stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. As the body metabolizes the Radiesse gel, new collagen forms, which helps to maintain the lifted, youthful appearance even after the filler has dissolved. This process provides long-lasting improvement in skin texture, firmness, and overall radiance.


Radiesse is unique because of its ability to offer both instant results and long-term collagen regeneration, making it a popular choice for clients looking for a comprehensive rejuvenation treatment.



Benefits of Radiesse for Volume Restoration and Collagen Stimulation

Radiesse offers a wide range of benefits for clients seeking facial and hand rejuvenation:

  • Immediate results: Radiesse provides an instant lift and volume to the treated areas, smoothing out deep wrinkles and restoring a youthful, refreshed look.

  • Collagen stimulation: Over time, Radiesse helps stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, improving the skin’s texture, tone, and elasticity for long-lasting results.

  • Long-lasting effects: Radiesse typically lasts 12-18 months, making it one of the longer-lasting dermal fillers available.

  • Natural-looking results: Radiesse provides natural, subtle enhancement by adding volume to areas that have lost fullness, creating a youthful, balanced appearance.

  • Versatile treatment: Radiesse can be used to address various areas of concern, including deep facial wrinkles, volume loss in the cheeks and jawline, and the aging appearance of the hands.

  • FDA-approved for hands: Radiesse is the first and only FDA-approved filler for hand rejuvenation, making it an ideal choice for those seeking to restore volume and reduce the appearance of prominent veins and tendons on the backs of their hands.


What Can You Expect During a Radiesse Treatment?

At LaBella Skin Aesthetics, your Radiesse treatment will begin with a consultation to determine the areas you’d like to treat and develop a customized treatment plan. The procedure is relatively quick, typically taking about 30-45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.


Before the injections, a topical numbing cream or local anesthesia may be applied to minimize any discomfort. The Radiesse filler is then injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle or cannula. You’ll notice immediate improvement in volume and the smoothing of wrinkles.


After the treatment, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites, but these effects typically subside within a few days. You can return to your normal activities immediately after the procedure, making Radiesse a convenient option for those with busy schedules.


How Long Do Radiesse Results Last?

One of the key benefits of Radiesse is its long-lasting results. While individual results may vary, most clients enjoy the benefits of Radiesse for 12-18 months. The immediate volumizing effects are visible right away, and as the filler stimulates collagen production, you’ll continue to see improvement in skin texture and firmness over time.


Because Radiesse helps stimulate collagen production, some clients find that the overall quality of their skin improves even after the filler has dissolved, leading to a more youthful appearance that lasts beyond the initial treatment.


Is Radiesse Right for You?

Radiesse is an excellent option for individuals looking to restore lost volume, smooth deep wrinkles, and improve skin firmness. It’s particularly well-suited for treating:

  • Nasolabial folds (smile lines)

  • Marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth to the chin)

  • Mid-face volume loss (cheeks and jawline)

  • Hand rejuvenation (to restore volume and smooth the appearance of aging hands)

If you’re in good overall health and looking for a non-surgical solution to facial or hand aging, Radiesse could be the perfect treatment for you. At LaBella Skin Aesthetics, we’ll work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique goals and concerns.
