A softer jawline, flatter cheeks and hands that show veins and tendons are common signs of volume and collagen loss. Radiesse® restores lift and definition right away, then keeps working by stimulating your own collagen in the treated area. 

At Woodlands Medical Aesthetics Institute, Radiesse is performed by experienced nurse injectors under the medical direction of Dr. Johnny Peet, FACOG, a board-certified gynecologist. We treat patients from The Woodlands, Spring, Conroe, Montgomery, Tomball and Magnolia.

What Is Radiesse? 

Radiesse is an FDA-approved injectable made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. It is FDA-approved to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as smile lines, and to restore volume in the back of the hands. Radiesse (+), the version mixed with lidocaine for comfort, is also FDA-approved to improve jawline contour. 

How Radiesse Works 

Radiesse does two jobs. The gel lifts and adds volume immediately. As the gel is absorbed, the CaHA microspheres act as a scaffold that your own collagen grows into, so results continue to improve over the following months. 

This dual action sets Radiesse apart from hyaluronic acid fillers like JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®, which add volume without stimulating new collagen. Results last about a year or more for many patients.* 

Where Radiesse Works Best 

  • Jawline definition and contour 
  • Cheek and chin support 
  • Smile lines and marionette lines 
  • Aging hands with visible veins and tendons 

Radiesse is not used in the lips or under the eyes. For those areas, your injector will recommend an HA filler. 

Radiesse for Hands 

Hands often show age as much as the face. As volume thins, veins and tendons become more visible. Radiesse is FDA-approved to restore volume in the back of the hands, smoothing their appearance in a single quick appointment. 

Who Is a Good Candidate for Radiesse? 

You may be a good candidate if you are an adult in good general health, and you want visible lift and definition without surgery, especially along the jawline, cheeks or hands. 

Radiesse is generally not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active skin infection or inflammation in the treatment area, have a history of keloid scarring, or have a known allergy to any of its ingredients, including lidocaine for Radiesse (+). Your injector will review your medical history and medications before treatment.

What to Expect 

Your consultation 

Your injector will assess your facial structure and goals, and confirm whether Radiesse, an HA filler or a combination is right for each area. 

Treatment day 

Most appointments take 30 to 45 minutes. Radiesse is placed with a fine needle or cannula, and you will see a difference before you leave. 

Aftercare and recovery 

Mild swelling, tenderness and bruising are common and usually settle within a few days. Most patients return to work the same day. Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours and follow your injector’s aftercare instructions. 

Radiesse vs. Sculptra 

Radiesse and Sculptra® Aesthetic both stimulate collagen. Radiesse gives immediate lift and structure, which makes it a strong choice for the jawline, chin and hands. Sculptra builds volume gradually over a few months and is often chosen for overall facial rejuvenation. Many patients use both in different areas. 

Combining Radiesse With Other Treatments 

  • HA dermal fillers for lips, under-eyes and areas where reversible volume is preferred. 
  • Ultherapy® to lift and tighten skin on the chin and neck alongside jawline definition. 
  • BOTOX® Cosmetic to relax expression lines like frown lines and crow’s feet. 

How Much Does Radiesse Cost? 

Radiesse is priced by the syringe, so your cost depends on the areas treated and how many syringes you need. Your injector will give you an exact quote at your consultation, and you can check current offers on our specials page.

Radiesse FAQ 

How long does Radiesse last? 

Many patients enjoy results for about a year or more.* Touch-up treatments help maintain the collagen you have built. 

When will I see results? 

Right away. Radiesse lifts on contact, then results continue to improve over the following months as collagen builds. 

Can Radiesse be dissolved? 

Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase (Hylenex®). This is one reason choosing an experienced injector matters. 

Does Radiesse hurt? 

Most patients describe mild pressure or stinging. Radiesse (+) contains lidocaine to keep treatment comfortable. 

Can Radiesse be used in the lips? 

No. Radiesse is not used in the lips or under the eyes. HA fillers are the right choice for those areas. 

How many sessions will I need? 

Many patients see the result they want in one session. Your injector may recommend a follow-up to fine-tune or maintain results. 

*Individual results vary.
