What is Radiesse?

Radiesse® is an injectable treatment made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, a biocompatible substance that naturally stimulates collagen production.

Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse works in two ways:

1. Immediate volume and contour improvement
2. Long-term collagen stimulation

As the product gradually dissolves, your body replaces it with newly formed collagen, improving skin structure, thickness, and firmness.

At Cataleya Aesthetics, Radiesse is often used as a biostimulator in hyperdilute form, allowing us to improve skin quality and firmness in areas that typically cannot be treated with traditional fillers.

Radiesse FAQ

What is the pricing for Radiesse?

Pricing depends on the treatment area and the amount of product required. Hyperdilute or biostimulatory treatments may require multiple syringes depending on the size of the area treated.

Your provider will determine the exact amount during your consultation based on your goals, skin condition, and treatment plan.

How does Radiesse work?

Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel carrier.

Immediately after injection, the gel provides structural support and volume. Over the following weeks and months, the CaHA microspheres stimulate your body to produce new collagen and elastin, improving skin thickness, firmness, and elasticity.

When used in hyperdilute form, Radiesse spreads more broadly under the skin and acts primarily as a collagen stimulator, helping improve overall skin quality rather than adding volume.

How is Radiesse different from hyaluronic acid fillers?

Radiesse works differently than traditional fillers.

Radiesse

• Stimulates collagen production
• Improves skin thickness and firmness
• Provides both immediate and long-term improvement

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

• Primarily restore lost volume
• Provide hydration and contour
• Do not stimulate collagen as strongly

Because of these differences, Radiesse can complement HA fillers for a more complete rejuvenation plan.

What is hyperdilute Radiesse?

Hyperdilute Radiesse is a technique where the product is diluted with sterile saline and lidocaine, allowing it to spread evenly under the skin.

Rather than creating volume, this technique stimulates collagen production and improves:

• Skin laxity
• Crepey texture
• Thin or fragile skin
• Overall skin firmness

It’s commonly used on areas like the neck, jawline, décolletage, and body.

What is hybrid Radiesse with Belotero?

A hybrid treatment combines Radiesse with Belotero, a smooth hyaluronic acid filler.

This approach allows us to address both skin quality and fine lines simultaneously:

• Radiesse stimulates collagen and improves skin strength
• Belotero smooths superficial wrinkles and fine lines

This combination can produce beautifully natural and balanced rejuvenation.

What areas can be treated with Radiesse?

Radiesse is very versatile and can be used on both the face and body.

Common treatment areas include:

• Jawline
• Cheeks
• Nasolabial folds
• Marionette lines
• Neck
• Décolletage
• Hands
• Arms
• Knees
• Buttocks (for skin quality)

During your consultation, we will determine the best technique for your treatment area.

What should I expect during my appointment?

• Your provider will begin with a consultation and facial assessment
• Topical numbing may be applied for comfort
• The skin is cleansed and prepared
• Radiesse is injected using advanced techniques for precise placement
• Gentle massage may be performed to distribute the product

The appointment typically takes 30–60 minutes depending on the areas treated.

Is the treatment painful?

Most clients experience minimal discomfort. Radiesse can be mixed with lidocaine, and we also use topical numbing when appropriate.

Patients usually describe the sensation as mild pressure or brief pinching.

How long is the downtime?

Downtime is usually minimal.

You may experience:

• Mild swelling
• Redness
• Minor bruising

These effects typically resolve within a few days, and most clients return to normal activities right away.

How long do results last?

Results can last 12–18 months or longer, depending on the treatment area and technique used.

Because Radiesse stimulates collagen, many patients notice continued improvement in skin quality over time.

Maintenance treatments may be recommended annually to maintain optimal results.

Who is a good candidate for Radiesse?

Radiesse may be ideal if you:

• Want to restore lost facial structure
• Notice skin laxity or thinning skin
• Have crepey texture on the neck or body
• Want natural collagen stimulation
• Prefer gradual, long-lasting rejuvenation

A consultation will determine whether Radiesse or another treatment is best for your goals.

Can I combine Radiesse with other treatments?

Yes. Radiesse works beautifully with many aesthetic treatments, including:

• Botox
• Morpheus8
• LaseMD Ultra
• Microneedling
• eCO2 laser
• Chemical peels
• Hyaluronic acid fillers

Combining treatments can address multiple layers of aging for more comprehensive rejuvenation.
