The short version

Radiesse gives structure now and encourages collagen over time. In a diluted form it is also used on the neck, chest, arms and knees. It is not used in the lips.

How Radiesse restores volume and builds collagen

Radiesse is an unique injectable dermal filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), a substance found naturally in your bones, suspended in a smooth gel carrier.

Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers that simply add volume, Radiesse works in two ways: it provides immediate correction the moment it is injected, then acts as a scaffold that stimulates your body to produce its own new collagen and elastin over the following weeks and months.

This dual action is why Radiesse is often called a ‘biostimulatory’ filler. As your natural collagen rebuilds around the gel matrix, skin gradually becomes firmer and more youthful, and because the CaHA microspheres are eventually absorbed and replaced by your own tissue, the results look and feel natural. At Advanced Skin Medspa, Marissa Martinez-Thiele and our clinical team use Radiesse to address deeper folds, lost facial structure, and skin laxity that lighter fillers cannot fully correct.

Treatment areas we address with Radiesse

Radiesse is very versatile and is ideal for areas that have lost volume and definition over time.

The most commonly treated zones at our Fishkill, NY practice include the cheeks and midface, the nasolabial folds (the lines running from the nose to the mouth), marionette lines, and the pre-jowl area along the lower face. Radiesse is also FDA-approved to restore lost volume on the back of the hands, softening the appearance of prominent tendons and veins for a more youthful look.

One of Radiesse’s standout uses is jawline and chin contouring, it provides the structure and lift needed to sharpen a soft or receding profile. For patients concerned with overall skin crepiness and laxity, we also offer hyperdilute Radiesse, a specialized technique that spreads collagen stimulation across broader areas. Radiesse is not used in the lips; for lip enhancement, we recommend our hyaluronic acid fillers instead.

What to expect during and after your visit

A Radiesse appointment here typically takes 30 to 45 minutes.

After a thorough facial assessment and mapping of your treatment areas, your injector cleanses the skin and administers the filler using a fine needle or a blunt-tipped cannula. Most Radiesse formulations are pre-mixed with lidocaine for added comfort, so the procedure is well tolerated, most patients describe only mild pressure during placement.

You will see volumizing results immediately, with continued improvement as new collagen develops over the next two to three months. Downtime is minimal: you can return to most daily activities right away, though we ask that you avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and pressure on the treated areas for about 24 hours. Temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, or minor bruising at the injection sites is normal and usually resolves within a few days. Radiesse results are long-lasting, typically enduring a year or more, often longer than many hyaluronic acid fillers.

Hyperdilute Radiesse for Skin tightening and collagen renewal

Beyond traditional volumizing, Radiesse can be specially diluted, a technique known as hyperdilute or ‘Radiesse skin tightening’, to deliver collagen-boosting benefits across larger or more delicate areas.

Instead of adding noticeable volume, hyperdilute Radiesse acts as a powerful biostimulator that improves skin quality, firmness, and texture from within.

This approach is especially popular for treating crepey skin and early laxity on the neck, décolletage, upper arms, abdomen, and knees, as well as for an overall glow and tightening effect on the face. Because results build gradually and naturally, hyperdilute Radiesse is an excellent option for patients who want smoother, tighter, healthier-looking skin without the look of added fullness. During your consultation at our Fishkill medspa, we will determine whether standard or hyperdilute Radiesse, or a combination, best fits your goals.

What is Radiesse made of, and how is it different from other dermal fillers?

Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, a mineral compound found naturally in bone, suspended in a gel. Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane, Radiesse not only adds immediate volume but also stimulates your body to produce its own collagen over time. One key difference: because Radiesse is not HA-based, it cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase, which is why precise, experienced placement is so important.

How long does Radiesse last?

Most patients enjoy their Radiesse results for a year or more, often longer than many hyaluronic acid fillers thanks to its collagen-stimulating effect. Longevity varies based on the treatment area, the amount used, your metabolism, and your lifestyle. During your consultation, we will discuss a maintenance schedule to help you keep your results looking their best.

Does a Radiesse treatment hurt?

Discomfort is minimal. Most Radiesse formulations are pre-mixed with lidocaine to numb the area as it is injected, and we can apply a topical numbing cream beforehand for added comfort. Many treatments are performed with a blunt-tipped cannula, which can reduce bruising and discomfort. Most patients describe the experience as quick and very tolerable.

Can Radiesse be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely. Radiesse pairs beautifully with neurotoxins like Botox, hyaluronic acid fillers, microneedling, and laser treatments as part of a full rejuvenation plan. Combining Radiesse for structure and volume with a neurotoxin for dynamic wrinkles is a popular ‘liquid facelift’ approach at our Fishkill medspa.

Who is a good candidate for Radiesse?

Radiesse is ideal for healthy adults who want to restore lost facial volume, soften deeper folds, define the jawline and chin, rejuvenate aging hands, or improve skin laxity with hyperdilute techniques. It is not used in the lips and is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for those with certain allergies or skin conditions. A consultation here will confirm whether Radiesse is the right choice for your goals.
