What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is a biostimulator injectable that stimulates the body’s natural collagen production. Composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres, it works by providing immediate volume and lift while promoting long-term skin rejuvenation. Over time, the body gradually absorbs the filler, replacing it with your own collagen for a more youthful, plump appearance.

At Skin Renew Day Spa & Laser Center, Radiesse is often combined with advanced treatments like Virtue RF microneedling and the Helix laser to enhance results. When paired with Virtue RF, Radiesse targets deeper skin layers to improve texture and tighten the skin, while the Helix laser complements this by resurfacing the skin’s surface. Together, these treatments offer a comprehensive solution for clients seeking effective and lasting facial and body rejuvenation.

Your Radiesse journey

Before Radiesse…

  • Avoid blood thinners and anti-inflammatory medications for at least 3 days prior to treatment
  • Inform your provider about any allergies or sensitivities, especially to lidocaine
  • Refrain from alcohol consumption for 24 hours before treatment to reduce the risk of bruising
  • Avoid laser or other skin treatments in the area to be treated for at least one week
  • Ensure that you are in good overall health and free from active skin infections
  • Discuss any history of keloid scarring or skin conditions with your provider
  • Plan for minimal physical activity and sun exposure in the days following the procedure
  • Arrive for your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin

During Radiesse…

During your Radiesse treatment, a skilled provider will inject the product into targeted areas of your face or hands. You may experience mild discomfort, but a numbing agent is typically applied to ensure your comfort. The injectable will immediately add volume to the treated areas, lifting and smoothing wrinkles. As Radiesse stimulates natural collagen production, you’ll continue to see improvements over the following weeks. The procedure usually takes about 30 minutes, and there is minimal downtime afterward.

After Radiesse…

  • Expect mild redness and a sensation similar to a mild sunburn for a few hours
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen
  • Refrain from using harsh skincare products or exfoliants for 3-5 days post-treatment
  • Keep your skin moisturized with a gentle, hydrating cream
  • Avoid strenuous exercise or activities that cause sweating for 24-48 hours
  • Be patient as your skin continues to heal and regenerate over the next few days
  • Follow up with your provider if you experience unusual irritation or discomfort.
