A Dual-Action Filler for Volume and Collagen Support

Radiesse restores facial volume immediately while also stimulating the skin's own collagen production for improvement that continues over time. At Nashville Cosmetic Surgery, our Skin Lounge team uses Radiesse to address deeper volume loss and skin laxity in areas that benefit from both instant lift and long-term structural support. Interested in a filler that offers both immediate and long-term benefits? Schedule a consultation with our Skin Lounge team.

What Is Radiesse?

Radiesse is a dermal filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite, a mineral-based compound that provides immediate volume while also encouraging the body to produce its own new collagen. This dual action sets it apart from hyaluronic acid fillers, offering a thicker consistency well-suited to areas needing more structural support. Because Radiesse stimulates collagen production, many patients notice their results continuing to improve gradually in the months following treatment.

Are You a Good Candidate for Radiesse?

You may be a good candidate for Radiesse in Nashville if you're noticing deeper volume loss, particularly along the cheeks, jawline, or backs of the hands, and are interested in a treatment that offers both immediate results and continued improvement over time. Radiesse's thicker consistency makes it especially well-suited to areas needing more lift or structure.

Good candidates are in good general health with realistic expectations about the gradual, collagen-driven improvement Radiesse provides in addition to its immediate effects. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your facial volume and skin quality to determine whether Radiesse is the right fit.

Common Areas Treated With Radiesse

Radiesse's thicker formulation makes it especially effective in certain areas of the face and hands.

  • Cheeks - Restores volume and structural support to a flattened midface.
  • Jawline - Improves definition along a softened or less contoured jaw.
  • Marionette Lines - Softens deeper lines running from the mouth toward the chin.
  • Hands - Restores volume to thinning skin that reveals prominent veins and tendons.

What to Expect During Your Radiesse Treatment

Radiesse is administered in-office using a fine needle or cannula, with appointments typically taking thirty minutes to an hour, depending on the treatment area and number of areas addressed. Most patients experience only mild, temporary discomfort during injection, and topical numbing is often available. Our team will walk you through your specific treatment plan and how many syringes are recommended for your goals during your consultation.

Results and Longevity

Initial volume is visible immediately after Radiesse injections in Nashville, with continued improvement developing over the following weeks as the body responds to collagen stimulation. Results typically last twelve to fifteen months, longer than many hyaluronic acid fillers. Many patients return for maintenance treatments once results begin to fade, often finding that consistent use helps support longer-term skin quality in treated areas.

Radiesse Frequently Asked Questions

How is Radiesse different from HA fillers?

Radiesse is made from calcium hydroxylapatite rather than hyaluronic acid, offering a thicker consistency and the added benefit of stimulating your body's own collagen production over time.

How long do Radiesse results last?

Results typically last twelve to fifteen months, often longer than many hyaluronic acid filler options.

Can Radiesse be used on the hands?

Yes. Radiesse is a popular treatment for restoring volume to thinning hands, in addition to its use on the face.

Is Radiesse reversible like HA fillers?

No. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse cannot be dissolved with an enzyme, so treatment planning and precise technique are especially important.

Will I need touch-up treatments over time?

Many patients choose to maintain their results with periodic touch-up treatments once the initial effects begin to fade, typically after twelve months or more.
