Radiesse
Radiesse is an injectable product made up of calcium hydroxylapatite. It is used most commonly to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles. It is also used to shape, soften, or augment the cheeks, chin and jawline. It can also be used to treat the back of the hands, reducing the appearance of prominent veins.
Treatment Details
What is Radiesse?
Dermal fillers can be categorized as natural or synthetic. Natural fillers such as Restylane and Juvéderm are hyaluronic acid-based and plump the skin by binding with water molecules.
Radiesse is a synthetic filler that uses a two-pronged approach to plumping the skin and filling wrinkles. First, it uses calcium microspheres to add structure under the skin where collagen (the skin’s natural structural support) has dwindled. Second, it encourages the body to build new collagen around the injection areas to continue supporting the skin for up to one year.

General Radiesse FAQ
The backs of your hands can really show your age as collagen declines and your skin thins. This allows tendons and blood vessels to become more and more prominent.
Radiesse is the only dermal filler approved by Health Canada and the FDA to restore volume to the backs of the hands. It fills out the shrunken look that comes with aging hands, leaving a smooth, natural-looking result. Radiesse also minimizes the visibility of veins and tendons, another byproduct of volume loss. By providing instant volume, plus encouraging the production of new collagen (as described above), Radiesse makes your hands look remarkably younger with results that last up to a year.
There aren’t many restrictions after receiving Radiesse injections. For the first 24 hours after your session, you will need to refrain from rubbing or massaging the injection sites. You will also need to avoid intense heat, so no saunas, hot tubs, or extensive sun exposure for the first day, as well.
You’ll have some redness, along with possible bruising and slight swelling – these issues typically resolve in a day or two.
