At Saluja Cosmetic and Laser Center, Radiesse® is more than just a filler—it’s a collagen-stimulating injectable that delivers both immediate lift and long-term improvement in skin structure. Perfect for patients seeking a refined, natural look, Radiesse supports firmer, denser, more resilient skin.

What Is Radiesse?

Radiesse is an FDA-approved injectable composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. It provides immediate contouring and lift, while also stimulating your body to rebuild its own collagen and elastin over the months that follow.

Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers that simply add volume, Radiesse creates structural support and gradual skin renewal from within.

What Is Hyperdilute Radiesse?

When Radiesse is mixed with sterile saline and lidocaine, it becomes hyperdilute—a lighter formulation designed for broader applications. Rather than volumizing, hyperdilute Radiesse spreads more evenly across the treatment area to stimulate collagen production without adding bulk.

Common treatment areas for hyperdilute Radiesse include:

• Neck and décolletage

• Inner upper arms

• Above the knees

• Jawline and lower cheeks (for mild laxity and texture improvement)

It is especially effective for crepey or thinning skin that needs support without volume.

What Areas Can Radiesse Treat?

• Jawline and chin contouring

• Smile lines (nasolabial folds) and marionette lines

• Mid and lower face volume loss

• Neck and chest (hyperdiluted)

• Hands (volume + texture restoration)

• Buttocks (BootyLift with Radiesse for subtle shaping and smoothing — learn more on our BootyLift page)

Radiesse as a Standalone or Combined Treatment

Radiesse often delivers excellent results on its own. Many patients see a noticeable improvement in contour, firmness, and skin tone with just a single treatment.

For those seeking more comprehensive rejuvenation, Radiesse can be part of a layered regenerative strategy. When appropriate, Dr. Saluja may recommend pairing Radiesse with modalities such as Sylfirm X, LaseMD Ultra, or Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) to address different layers of the skin and optimize overall results.

What to Expect

Most patients see immediate improvement after a single session, with continued skin regeneration over the next 3–6 months. Results typically last 12–18 months, depending on the treatment area, product dilution, and individual skin biology.

There is minimal downtime. Some patients experience swelling or bruising for 1–3 days after treatment.

Radiesse® FAQs

How long does Radiesse last?

Results can last 12 to 18 months depending on the area treated and how your body responds. Collagen stimulation may extend results beyond the visible filler effect.

Is Radiesse safe?

Yes. Radiesse is FDA-approved and has a well-established safety profile when administered by trained professionals.

Does Radiesse work immediately?

Yes. You will see immediate volume and contouring, followed by progressive improvement as collagen rebuilds.

What is the difference between Radiesse and hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers?

HA fillers add volume by holding moisture under the skin. Radiesse adds volume and stimulates your body to make collagen, offering both instant and long-term benefits.

What’s the difference between Radiesse and hyperdilute Radiesse?

Traditional Radiesse adds structure and lift. Hyperdilute Radiesse is used to improve skin quality over a broader area without adding volume.

What is the BootyLift with Radiesse?

Our BootyLift treatment uses Radiesse to subtly lift and contour the buttocks while stimulating collagen. It’s a non-surgical option for those looking for smoother skin and a firmer appearance. Full details are available on our BootyLift treatment page.

Can I combine Radiesse with other treatments?

Yes. Radiesse pairs well with energy-based devices and regenerative therapies. Dr. Saluja will help customize a plan based on your goals and timeline.
