Restore youthful volume and smooth away deep lines with Radiesse at Destination Aesthetics™ in El Dorado Hills, Elk Grove, Folsom, Roseville, and Sacramento, CA. This innovative calcium hydroxylapatite filler delivers immediate results that continue improving over time as your body produces its own collagen. Whether you want to soften nasolabial folds, enhance your jawline, or rejuvenate the backs of your hands, Radiesse helps you look stunning and feel confident.
Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler made of smooth calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that simply add volume, Radiesse works as a biostimulator. This means it provides immediate correction while also encouraging your body to produce its own collagen and elastin for long-lasting, natural-looking results.
The calcium hydroxylapatite in Radiesse mimics minerals naturally found in your bones. Once your injector places it, the gel carrier adds instant volume and lift. Over the following weeks and months, the CaHA microspheres build a framework that triggers collagen production. As the gel breaks down and is absorbed by your body, your newly formed collagen replaces it, maintaining your beautiful results for a year or longer. Additionally, this natural collagen production means your skin quality improves from within, giving you tighter, smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
The treatment works particularly well for areas needing structural support and significant volume restoration. Furthermore, Radiesse’s unique formulation makes it ideal for sculpting and contouring the lower face, creating definition that looks naturally beautiful. Radiesse delivers versatile correction for multiple areas of concern including:

Men today want results that last, look natural, and enhance their features – Radiesse delivers all three. Male patients often develop more pronounced facial lines due to thicker skin and different facial structure, making Radiesse’s robust formula ideal for achieving noticeable improvement while maintaining a masculine appearance. The treatment excels at enhancing the jawline and chin area for that defined, chiseled look that conveys strength.
Many men appreciate that Radiesse delivers immediate results with long-lasting durability, meaning fewer appointments and less time away from work. Moreover, the natural-looking enhancement means you’ll look refreshed and energetic without anyone guessing you had treatment.
Radiesse integrates effortlessly with other aesthetic treatments for a refreshed, natural look. It’s often combined with Botox or Dysport to smooth dynamic lines, hyaluronic acid fillers to refine lips or under-eyes, and laser treatments to enhance overall skin tone and texture. Together, these treatments work in harmony to rejuvenate and define your features from every angle.
Every Radiesse treatment at Destination Aesthetics™ is designed for comfort, precision, and beautiful results. From your first consultation to your post-treatment glow, our expert injectors guide you through every step with care and precision. Here’s what you can expect during your Radiesse experience.
Step 1
We begin with a detailed consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals and assess the areas you’d like to treat. Your injector evaluates your facial structure and creates a personalized plan for balanced, natural-looking results. You’ll have time to ask questions and confirm that Radiesse fits your needs.
Step 2
A typical Radiesse session lasts 15 to 30 minutes depending on the treatment areas. After cleansing your skin, your injector applies a topical anesthetic if needed. Radiesse already includes lidocaine for added comfort. Using fine needles or cannulas, your injector precisely places the filler, then gently massages the area to ensure smooth, even distribution.
Step 3
You’ll notice an immediate lift and smoother contours right after your appointment. Minor swelling or redness can occur but usually fades within a few days. Most patients resume daily activities right away. Over the next several weeks, your skin continues to improve as new collagen forms, with full results appearing in a few months and lasting up to two years.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. Radiesse contains lidocaine for numbing, and we can apply additional topical anesthetic if needed. You may feel light pressure or a brief pinch, but the process is generally quick and easy.
Results typically last a year or longer, with some patients maintaining benefits for up to two years. Longevity depends on factors such as treatment area, metabolism, and collagen response. Because Radiesse stimulates collagen, improvements often remain even after the filler fades.
Absolutely. Skilled injectors achieve balanced enhancement that complements your features. Collagen stimulation creates gradual, authentic improvement that blends seamlessly with your natural contours.
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that provide temporary volume, Radiesse offers immediate correction plus collagen stimulation for longer-lasting structural support. It tends to provide more robust lifting and works particularly well for deeper lines and significant volume restoration. Compared to Sculptra (another biostimulator), Radiesse gives instant visible results that then continue improving.
Most patients return to work immediately. You should avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for about 24 hours or until initial swelling resolves. Consider scheduling before a weekend if you’re concerned about visible swelling or bruising.
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers which can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, Radiesse cannot be reversed. This makes choosing an experienced, skilled injector crucial. Our expert team at Destination Aesthetics™ has extensive training to ensure beautiful, natural-looking results.
Ideal candidates are adults who want to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles or restore volume in their face or hands. You should be in good overall health with realistic expectations. Radiesse may not be suitable if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, have certain medical conditions, or have severe allergies.
Yes, Radiesse combines beautifully with treatments like Botox, other dermal fillers, and skin resurfacing procedures. Your injector will create a customized plan that sequences your treatments optimally for best results.
Radiesse should not be injected into the lips or around the eyes. For these delicate areas, softer hyaluronic acid fillers are more appropriate. Your consultation will determine the best products for each concern.
