Introduction:

What Is RADIESSE®?

RADIESSE® is a dermal filler. Essentially, it’s a biocompatible gel that is injected between the layers of your skin. RADIESSE® smooths wrinkles and facial folds by adding volume and structure to the area. It can also be used to add volume and shape to the back of your hands.

RADIESSE® made waves as the first FDA-approved dermal filler on the market. One of the reasons RADIESSE® is long lasting and effective is that it’s a collagen stimulator, which means that it encourages your skin to regrow its natural supporting structure. Your results with RADIESSE® are natural and will last long after the original gel has faded away.

How RADIESSE® Works

Your skin relies on a structural protein known as collagen to stay firm and taut. As you get older, your body stops producing as much collagen; eventually, your skin will begin to droop and sag under its own weight. Visually, this translates into wrinkles and folds at various points along your face.

When it’s first injected, the RADIESSE® gel seeps into your skin, replacing the volume that has been lost with time. This immediately causes the skin to look fuller, smoother, and healthier.

Once it’s in place, the RADIESSE® acts like scaffolding to hold up your skin while your body begins a repair cycle. As RADIESSE® particles are slowly absorbed by your body, you’ll begin producing collagen at a faster rate. This collagen is used to repair your natural support structures. By the time the RADIESSE® is fully absorbed, your skin will have regained much of its original texture and form.

RADIESSE® treatments don’t last forever. Eventually, the stimulation will wear off, and your skin will produce collagen at a reduced rate. The full results of RADIESSE® last about a year; after this time, you should schedule a new appointment with your doctor.

What Can RADIESSE® Treat?

RADIESSE® is used to smooth and restore volume to wrinkles and folds in the lower face. From minor wrinkles at the corners of your lips to deep smile lines – also known as nasolabial folds – RADIESSE® can restore the smoothness of your skin and bring attention back to your beautiful smile.

Another popular use of RADIESSE® is to restore volume to the back of the hands.

As you experience the wear and tear of life, your skin can start to sag against your hand, exposing the shape of the veins and tendons underneath. Your hands are an important part of your self-identity, and seeing them age can result in an extreme loss of confidence. Luckily, RADIESSE® can be used to add volume, regrow the support structure, and give your hands a vibrant and youthful appearance.

Is RADIESSE® in Your Treatment Plan?

RADIESSE® is an option for anyone looking to restore tension and volume to their skin. RADIESSE® can be used to treat wrinkles on most parts of the face, making it a great choice for an all-encompassing treatment plan.

RADIESSE® FAQs

What is Radiesse and how does it work?

Radiesse is a unique dermal filler containing calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. Radiesse provides immediate volume correction while stimulating your bodys natural collagen production for longer-lasting results. Its FDA-approved for treating facial wrinkles, folds, and volume loss, as well as hand rejuvenation.

How long do Radiesse results last?

Radiesse results typically last 12-18 months or longer, making it one of the longest-lasting dermal fillers available. The initial gel provides immediate correction, while the collagen-stimulating properties create lasting improvement. Many patients enjoy extended benefits as their own collagen continues supporting facial structure after the product metabolizes.

What areas can be treated with Radiesse?

At Zuliani Facial Aesthetics, Radiesse effectively treats nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, pre-jowl area, chin wrinkles, jawline definition, cheek volume loss, neck lines, declotte, and hand rejuvenation. Dr. Zuliani strategically places Radiesse to restore youthful contours, improve facial proportion, and create natural-looking rejuvenation tailored to your needs.

Is Radiesse better than hyaluronic acid fillers?

Radiesse and hyaluronic acid fillers each have unique advantages. Radiesse provides longer-lasting results and stimulates collagen production, making it ideal for deeper folds and structural support. Hyaluronic acid fillers are more versatile and reversible, better for lips and delicate areas. Dr. Zuliani selects the optimal filler(s) for each treatment area to achieve your best results.

Does Radiesse hurt?

Radiesse injections involve minimal discomfort. The product contains lidocaine for comfort during treatment, and we can apply topical numbing cream beforehand. Most patients describe slight pressure during injection with manageable discomfort. Dr. Zulianis gentle injection technique further minimizes any discomfort during your treatment.

Can Radiesse be used for hand rejuvenation?

Yes, Radiesse is FDA-approved and highly effective for hand rejuvenation. We use Radiesse to restore volume to the backs of hands, minimizing the appearance of tendons, veins, and bones while improving skin quality. Results are immediate and can last over a year, creating more youthful-looking hands.

What is the recovery time after Radiesse injections

Radiesse requires minimal downtime. You may experience slight swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites for a few days, but most patients return to normal activities immediately. Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun or heat exposure for 24 hours. Dr. Zuliani provides specific aftercare instructions to optimize your results.

Can Radiesse be dissolved if needed?

Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse cannot be dissolved. However, the product is biocompatible and naturally metabolizes over time. Dr. Zulianis team has extensive experience and conservative approach to ensure optimal placement and natural results, minimizing the need for correction. During your consultation, he thoroughly discusses this characteristic so you can make an informed decision.

How much does Radiesse cost in Bloomfield Hills?

Radiesse costs vary based on the number of syringes needed and treatment areas. While the per-syringe cost may be higher than some fillers, Radiesses longevity (12-18+ months) makes it cost-effective long-term. During your consultation, we provide transparent pricing and discuss treatment plans that fit your budget and goals.

Am I a good candidate for Radiesse?

Ideal Radiesse candidates desire correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles, folds, or volume loss with longer-lasting results. Its excellent for patients wanting to stimulate natural collagen production. If you have allergies to the ingredients, active skin infections, or bleeding disorders, Radiesse may not be suitable. Dr. Zuliani evaluates your candidacy during your consultation.
