We often recommend combining Radiesse with complementary treatments such as neurotoxins, other fillers, or energy-based devices for truly comprehensive rejuvenation. These synergistic approaches simultaneously address multiple aspects of aging for harmonious, natural-looking results.
Radiesse stands apart due to its dual-action approach—providing immediate volume while stimulating your body’s natural collagen production for long-lasting results. During your consultation, our experts will assess your facial structure, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to determine if Radiesse is ideal for you. We consider factors like treatment area, desired longevity, and whether you need structural support or subtle refinement. For some clients, we recommend combining Radiesse with other fillers, such as using Radiesse for deeper structural support and other options for more delicate areas.
Most clients enjoy Radiesse results for 12-18 months, longer than many traditional fillers. Longevity varies based on treatment area, metabolism, and lifestyle factors. For optimal results, we typically recommend maintenance treatments every 12 months, allowing us to refresh results before significant volume loss occurs. Many clients benefit from a combination approach, alternating between Radiesse and other treatments to address different aspects of aging simultaneously.
Comfort is our priority. We use topical numbing creams, ice application, and gentle injection techniques to minimize discomfort. Radiesse (+) contains integrated lidocaine for additional comfort. Most clients describe feeling only mild pressure or brief pinching during treatment. Downtime is minimal—some temporary swelling, redness, or tenderness typically resolves within 2-3 days. Occasional bruising may last 5-7 days but can be covered with makeup after 24 hours. Most clients return to normal activities immediately, though we recommend scheduling important events at least one week after treatment.
