What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is a dermal filler made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres in a gel. It does double duty: it provides instant volume to smooth deeper folds and restore lost fullness, and over time the particles encourage your skin to build its own collagen for a longer-term firming effect.

It is often used in the cheeks, jawline, and the backs of the hands, and it tends to last around a year or more. Because it is thicker and stimulates collagen, your injector will recommend it where that combination of lift and structure makes sense for your goals.
