What Is Radiesse®?

Radiesse® is an injectable filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite suspended in a water-based gel. This biocompatible formula works by both filling in wrinkles and stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. Over time, this process continues to improve the structure and firmness of your skin, providing extended correction.

Radiesse® is ideal for treating moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as:

Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
Marionette lines (lines running from the mouth to the chin)
Hollow cheeks
Jawline contouring
Chin augmentation

The results of Radiesse® are visible immediately after treatment, offering a refreshed, more youthful appearance with effects that can last up to 18 months to 2 years, depending on the area treated.

Why Choose Radiesse®?

Patients choose Radiesse® because of its unique ability to provide both immediate volume restoration and long-term benefits through collagen stimulation. This combination results in a natural and youthful look that improves over time. Whether you're looking to fill in deep creases or enhance facial contours, Radiesse® offers a longer-lasting solution compared to many other fillers. At Leong Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Leong's advanced injection techniques ensure precise placement of Radiesse® for optimal results tailored to your individual facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Is Radiesse® Safe?

Yes, Radiesse® is FDA-approved, biocompatible, and non-toxic. It has been widely used across the United States, with over 200,000 procedures performed. As it’s composed of substances naturally found in the body, Radiesse® does not require allergy testing prior to treatment, and the risk of adverse reactions is minimal.

What to Expect During a Radiesse® Treatment

Treatments with Radiesse® at Leong Facial Plastic Surgery typically take between 15 and 40 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. Dr. Leong performs all injections personally, ensuring that you receive the highest level of care and expertise. The use of microcannulas allows for greater comfort, reduced bruising, and more even results.

Does Radiesse® Have Any Side Effects?

Mild side effects such as swelling, redness, or bruising can occur at the injection sites, but these usually resolve within a few days. Dr. Leong will provide you with detailed post-treatment care instructions to minimize these effects and ensure a smooth recovery. During your consultation, Dr. Leong will discuss all potential side effects with you and thoroughly explain what you can expect from the treatment.

Post-Treatment Care

After your Radiesse® treatment, it's important to follow these post-care instructions:

Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas.
Stay out of extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, until any swelling has subsided.
Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications, as these can increase the risk of bruising.
Refrain from vigorous exercise immediately following treatment.

Our team will provide you with a full set of post-treatment instructions to help ensure your results last as long as possible.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Radiesse®?

Radiesse® is suitable for both men and women who are looking to reduce the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles, add volume to sunken or hollow areas, and enhance their facial structure. If you're in good general health and looking for a non-surgical way to restore a more youthful appearance, you may be a good candidate for Radiesse®. During your consultation, Dr. Leong will evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine whether Radiesse® is the best option for you.

Is Radiesse® Painful?

Most patients find Radiesse® treatments to be comfortable, especially with Dr. Leong’s use of microcannulas, which minimize discomfort and the risk of bruising. If you have concerns about pain, a topical anesthetic can be applied before the procedure to numb the treatment area, ensuring a more comfortable experience.

Is Radiesse® Covered by Insurance?

Because Radiesse® is a cosmetic procedure, it is not covered by insurance. However, we offer flexible financing options through CareCredit, allowing qualified patients to enjoy interest-free payment plans. Our team will help you explore payment options to ensure you receive the treatment you desire within your budget.
