Radiesse is a calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) filler that does double duty: immediately restoring volume where it's been lost, then stimulating the body to produce its own new collagen over time. Longer-lasting results than most HA fillers — with a mechanism that continues working after injection.
Radiesse is made from calcium hydroxyapatite — a mineral found naturally in human bone. It requires no allergy testing, is biocompatible, and works in two phases: immediately providing volume through the gel carrier, then stimulating natural collagen and elastin production as the CaHA microspheres are gradually absorbed by the body over time.
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers which provide volume alone, Radiesse triggers the body's own collagen-building process — delivering both immediate results and longer-term skin quality improvement. For most patients, results in lower face wrinkles and folds last up to a year or more, making it one of the more durable filler options available.
Radiesse is particularly well-suited for areas requiring structural support — lower face wrinkles and folds, jawline definition, and hand rejuvenation. Its viscosity provides lift and definition that softer HA fillers sometimes cannot achieve. Your injector will recommend Radiesse when the anatomy and goals call for its specific properties.
Radiesse has three FDA-approved indications. Your injector may also discuss other areas based on your goals and anatomy — those conversations happen at your consultation.
Radiesse use for areas beyond its FDA-approved indications is considered off-label — a standard, legal, and widely practiced approach in aesthetic medicine. Your provider will discuss all options at your consultation. Note: Radiesse is not indicated for use in the lips.
Not every filler is right for every area or every patient. At medAge we carry the full spectrum — HA fillers (Revanesse, Restylane, Belotero, Sculptra) and CaHA (Radiesse). Your injector will recommend Radiesse specifically when the goal calls for structural lift, longer duration, and the biostimulation benefit — rather than just volume replacement.
