Radiesse® is a treatment that adds volume and stimulates collagen production in the skin. Radiesse® is produced from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. When injected, Radiesse® provides immediate volume to correct wrinkles and folds, and over time, the CaHA microspheres stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. This treatment is commonly used to improve wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, pre-jowl folds, and marionette lines. Radiesse® can also enhance the contours of the jawline, cheeks, and hands.
Radiesse® in Kerrville and Houston, TX, is suitable for adults seeking to reduce moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Candidates should have good health and have realistic expectations about the results. Most patients expect immediate improvements after the procedure, with full results developing over the following weeks as collagen production increases. The effects of Radiesse® typically last between 12 to 18 months. Book an appointment for Radiesse® at Layton Aesthetics Plastic Surgery in Kerrville and Houston, TX, today.

Good candidates for Radiesse® are adults with mild to severe folds, such as nasolabial folds, pre-jowl folds, and marionette lines. Good candidates are those in good health and have realistic expectations about the treatment’s results.

The effects of Radiesse® typically last between 12 to 18 months. The longevity of results may depend on the individual’s skin type, age, lifestyle, and the area treated.
Radiesse® treatments usually involve minimal downtime. Other patients may experience mild side effects such as swelling and redness, bruising, or tenderness, which typically resolve within a few days.
Before Radiesse® treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements to minimize the risk of bruising. It is recommended avoiding strenuous activities, alcohol and excessive sunlight exposure for 24 hours after the treatment. Follow aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner.
During Radiesse® treatment, the practitioner cleans the targeted area and applies a numbing agent to ensure comfort. Radiesse® is then injected into the skin using a fine needle. The procedure usually takes 15 minutes to half an hour, depending on the number of areas treated.
