Restore Volume and Definition with Radiesse

As we age, we lose both volume and collagen. That softens the cheeks, blurs the jawline, and deepens the lines around the mouth. Radiesse works on both problems at once. It restores lost volume right away and stimulates your own collagen for results that keep building.

Our providers at Houston Wellness & Aesthetics place Radiesse with an eye for natural, balanced contours. You leave with a refreshed, defined look that still looks like you.

What Is Radiesse?

Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres in a smooth gel. It works in two ways. The gel restores volume the moment it is placed. The microspheres then act as a scaffold that prompts your body to build new collagen over the following months. Because Radiesse is not a hyaluronic acid filler, it is not dissolved with hyaluronidase, so your provider places it with extra care. It is FDA-cleared to smooth moderate to severe facial folds and to restore volume in the back of the hands. Peer-reviewed research indexed by the National Library of Medicine supports its safety and long-lasting results in the nasolabial folds. Most patients enjoy results that last a year or more.

Why Patients Love Radiesse

Patients choose Radiesse for immediate volume, natural collagen stimulation, and results that last.

Immediate results that keep improving

You see restored volume right away. Then your own collagen keeps building over the next few months for a gradual, natural boost.

Stimulates natural collagen production

The calcium-based microspheres act as a scaffold, prompting your skin to produce fresh collagen where you need it.

Long-lasting results

Radiesse often lasts a year or more, which is longer than many hyaluronic acid fillers.

Sculpts and defines

Its firmer texture makes Radiesse ideal for adding structure to the jawline, chin, and cheeks.

What to Expect

Your Radiesse appointment usually takes 15 to 45 minutes. Your provider reviews your goals and marks the areas to treat. Radiesse is often mixed with lidocaine, so the injections are comfortable.

Your provider places Radiesse with a fine needle or a blunt cannula. You see added volume and definition right away. Most patients feel mild pressure rather than pain. Any swelling or minor bruising usually settles within a few days.

There is little downtime, and most patients return to normal activities the same day. Your collagen response builds over the following weeks and months. Your provider will let you know when a touch-up may help you maintain your results.
