How You Can Enhance Your Look With Radiesse
At Tru MedAesthetics, Radiesse is used to enhance your natural features by restoring lost volume and stimulating your body’s own collagen production. This unique filler provides immediate contouring and definition—especially in areas like the cheeks and jawline—while continuing to improve skin firmness and structure over time. Our team takes a strategic, artistic approach to placement, ensuring results that are balanced, sculpted, and natural-looking. Patients choose Tru MedAesthetics for Radiesse because of our commitment to long-lasting results, personalized care, and advanced aesthetic expertise.
What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse is a biostimulatory filler that not only restores lost volume but also stimulates the body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse is made from calcium-based microspheres that provide immediate structure and long-term skin improvement.
This dual-action benefit makes it unique, as it continues to enhance skin firmness and elasticity over time. Radiesse is best for contouring areas like the cheeks, jawline, and hands, as well as improving overall skin quality and support.
How Does Radiesse Work
Radiesse is a dermal filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. Upon injection, it provides immediate structural support and volume to areas of the face that have lost definition.
As the gel is gradually absorbed, the CaHA particles stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen. This biostimulatory effect leads to long-term improvements in skin thickness, firmness, and elasticity, making Radiesse both a filler and a regenerative treatment.

Am I A Candidate For Radiesse?
Radiesse is best suited for patients experiencing volume loss, skin laxity, or decreased facial definition due to aging. You may be a good candidate if you want immediate contouring and structure while also improving collagen production for long-term skin rejuvenation. It is particularly effective for enhancing the cheeks, jawline, chin, and hands while improving overall skin firmness and support.

How Long Do Radiesse Results Last?
One of the biggest advantages of Radiesse® is its long-lasting results. Most patients enjoy visible improvement for 12 to 18 months, although individual results may last up to two years depending on the treatment area, metabolism, age, lifestyle, and the amount of product used. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers that simply add volume, Radiesse works by providing immediate structural support while stimulating your body's natural collagen production. As the calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres are gradually absorbed, the newly formed collagen helps maintain improved skin firmness, elasticity, and volume. Many patients choose periodic maintenance treatments every 12 to 18 months to preserve their youthful, refreshed appearance and continue supporting long-term collagen regeneration.
What Treatments Are Best Paired With Radiesse?
At Tru MedAesthetics, Radiesse is an excellent addition to combination treatment plans because it restores facial structure while stimulating long-term collagen production. Pairing Radiesse with neurotoxins, PDO threads, microneedling, or skin tightening treatments helps address multiple signs of aging at once, creating more comprehensive and natural-looking rejuvenation.
-
PDO Threads: Lift sagging tissue while Radiesse restores volume and stimulates collagen
