It’s normal to consider dermal fillers for your anti-aging goals if you prefer to avoid surgery. That’s because dermal fillers are an excellent way to refresh your look without downtime or recovery. However, it’s important to know that some injectables can go above and beyond basic hyaluronic acid fillers. One option is Radiesse®, an injectable option that provides long-lasting, natural results.
What is Radiesse®?
Radiesse® is an injectable dermal filler made with biosynthetically produced calcium hydroxylapatite, meaning it contains no animal products. Calcium hydroxylapatite is naturally found in the body and has been used in many other medical fields to generate new collagen. These calcium-based microspheres will instantly plump the skin and results will gradually improve as they dissolve and stimulate collagen production.
Radiesse® has a number of uses in cosmetic rejuvenation, including both the lower face and hands. It is commonly used to treat nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, and hand wrinkles or thinning skin on the hands. This allows you to achieve a more youthful appearance in highly visible areas of the face and body.
Candidates for Radiesse®
Patients who benefit most from Radiesse® treatment are those who are looking for effective rejuvenation for mild signs of facial aging without the need for surgery. During a consultation with Dr. DiFrancesco and our expert injectors, we can assess your goals for Radiesse® and craft the ideal treatment plan using our selection of nonsurgical rejuvenation options to fully address your concerns.

Radiesse® injections can be performed at our Atlanta office with the help of a topical anesthetic or numbing cream. Your expert injector will place the product under the surface of the skin using a very fine needle in areas that can benefit from increased collagen production. Dermal filler injections take as little as fifteen minutes, after which you can return home.
Radiesse® Results and Maintenance
After Radiesse® treatments, you can expect some redness and sensitivity at your injection sites, but this subsides quickly. Some immediate results can be seen after each session, and noticeable volume will continue to improve in the weeks and months following as your body generates new collagen. As the product fades and is metabolized, it leaves behind natural, volumizing collagen. These results can last for up to a year, after which you can return for touch-up appointments as needed. We can recommend additional treatments and products to boost your results so you can enjoy them for the long term.
