Radiesse Quick Facts
Radiesse works with your body to restore volume and encourage natural collagen production over time. It’s often chosen by people who want visible, longer-lasting improvements without looking like they’ve “had something done.” The results are subtle but noticeable, helping you feel like the best version of yourself. Many patients love Radiesse because it delivers both immediate results and gradual improvements in skin firmness and texture over time.
A few of the most common benefits include
Radiesse is versatile and effective for treating a variety of age-related concerns. It’s especially helpful in areas where volume loss and deeper lines have started to affect your appearance.
These are the smile lines that run from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth. Over time, they can deepen and create a shadowed or tired look. Radiesse fills in this area to soften those folds and restore a more youthful expression.
Marionette lines form below the corners of the mouth and can create a downturned or sad-looking appearance. Radiesse gently fills and lifts this area, helping you look more relaxed and refreshed.
As volume decreases near the jawline, folds can appear around the jowl area. Radiesse supports the skin and tissue here to create a smoother, more defined contour along the lower face.
Fine lines or creases across the chin can make skin look uneven or aged. By adding subtle volume, Radiesse smooths out the texture and brings more balance to the lower face.
One of the lesser-known but highly effective uses of Radiesse is in the hands. As skin thins, veins and tendons can become more visible. Radiesse restores volume to the backs of the hands, making them look softer and younger.
Radiesse is best for patients who are looking to restore volume and get natural-looking lift in areas that have started to sag or look hollow. It works especially well in places that benefit from structure, like the cheeks, jawline, and hands.
Unlike some other fillers that only add temporary volume, Radiesse also boosts your body’s own collagen production. That means the effects can improve over time as your skin becomes firmer and more supported from within.
Patients often choose Radiesse when they want long-lasting results without looking overdone. It’s subtle, it’s effective, and it works especially well when placed in the deeper layers of skin to rebuild structure that’s been lost with age.
Women and men who are in good health and have mild to moderate lines and wrinkles are ideal candidates for RADIESSE treatments.
It can address marionette lines, smile lines, pre-jowl folds, chin wrinkles, and lines that form in the corners of the mouth. RADIESSE is also designed to address age-related volume loss in the hands to help them look softer and younger-looking. You shouldn't receive this treatment if you are allergic to lidocaine or any ingredients in RADIESSE.
Make sure to talk to our team about any allergies (whether mild or severe) and if you have a history of any bleeding disorders. If you are breastfeeding, pregnant, might be pregnant, or are considering pregnancy within several years, you should not use RADIESSE injections.
After your Radiesse appointment, you might notice a little swelling, redness, or tenderness in the area treated. Some people experience mild bruising, especially around the mouth or jawline where skin can be more sensitive. These side effects are usually very manageable and temporary, with most clearing up within five to ten days.
You can go back to most of your normal activities right away. We recommend avoiding intense workouts, heat exposure, or facial massages for the first 24 to 48 hours just to give the filler time to settle properly. Makeup can usually be worn the next day to cover any residual marks.
If anything feels unusual or if side effects stick around longer than expected, our team is always here to answer your questions.
One of the best parts about Radiesse is how quickly you see a difference. Most Boynton Beach RADIESSE patients notice an improvement in volume and smoothness right away. Then, over the next few weeks, your skin continues to build collagen, which helps maintain that fresh, lifted look. Your face will look softer, younger, and more radiant.
Results tend to last longer than many other fillers, usually 12 and 24 months. How long they last for you depends on things like the area treated, your skin, and how your body metabolizes the product. We’ll help you keep things looking natural and balanced with touch-ups as needed, so you always feel confident in your results.
The cost of Radiesse varies depending on your personalized treatment plan. Things like how many syringes are used, the area being treated, and whether you're combining it with other services will all factor into the final price.
During your consultation, we’ll walk you through everything included, product, provider expertise, any facility or injection fees, and post-care support, so there are no surprises. If you're considering multiple areas or pairing Radiesse with other treatments like Botox or skin rejuvenation, we can talk through package options or long-term maintenance plans that make sense for you.
There are a lot of great filler options available, and each one is best suited for different areas, goals, or skin types. Radiesse stands out for its lifting power and longevity, but other fillers may be a better match for softer or more delicate enhancements. Here’s how Radiesse compares with other top choices available at Allura.
Radiesse is a calcium-based filler known for its structure and strength. It’s ideal for adding volume to the cheeks, jawline, and hands. It gives instant lift and also stimulates collagen over time, which helps the results last longer, often one to two years. It’s not usually used in very thin or delicate areas, like lips or under the eyes, where a softer filler is better.
Juvederm is a family of hyaluronic acid fillers that are soft, smooth, and very versatile. They’re often used in the lips, cheeks, and around the mouth. Juvederm offers instant results and typically lasts six to twelve months, depending on the formula used and the area treated.
Restylane is another popular hyaluronic acid filler that comes in several versions. It works well in both fine and deeper lines and can be used in areas like the lips, tear troughs, cheeks, and hands. It’s often chosen for its precision and ability to create natural-looking definition.
The RHA Collection is designed to move with your facial expressions, making it great for dynamic areas of the face like around the mouth or forehead. These hyaluronic acid fillers are formulated to be more flexible, which helps maintain a very natural look, even when smiling or frowning.
Versa is a hyaluronic acid filler known for its smooth consistency and reduced swelling after treatment. It’s often used to soften lines around the nose and mouth or to add gentle volume to the lips. Patients looking for a subtle and smooth finish often enjoy Versa’s results.
Sculptra is different from traditional fillers. It’s made from poly-L-lactic acid and works by gradually stimulating collagen production over a series of treatments. The results come in slowly over a few months and can last up to two years. Sculptra is often used to restore volume in larger areas, like the cheeks or temples.
Belotero is a very soft, lightweight hyaluronic acid filler that blends easily into the skin. It’s especially good for treating fine lines and etched-in wrinkles, like vertical lip lines or under-eye hollows. It doesn’t add much volume, but it smooths out delicate areas beautifully.

There’s no specific age that's “best,” but many people start considering Radiesse in their 30s or 40s when early signs of volume loss or deeper lines begin to show. It’s also popular with patients in their 50s and beyond who want subtle but lasting improvement.
Radiesse typically lasts between 12 to 24 months, depending on the area treated and how your body responds. The collagen-building effect can sometimes help results last even longer with consistent maintenance.
Most people describe the feeling as a quick pinch or pressure during injection. A numbing agent is usually included in the formula, and we can apply topical numbing cream beforehand to make the experience more comfortable.
Yes, when placed by a skilled injector, Radiesse offers very natural-looking results. It restores volume without creating an overfilled or artificial look. You’ll still look like you, just a bit more refreshed and lifted.
As Radiesse gradually breaks down, your body naturally absorbs the product. The treated area will slowly return to its original shape unless you come in for maintenance. There’s no sudden change, just a gradual return to your baseline.
