How does Radiesse work?

At DeeTox, we inject Radiesse into targeted areas where volume has diminished or skin has lost elasticity. The gel adds structure and lift immediately, while the CaHA microspheres activate your skin’s natural collagen-building process. Over time, your body gradually absorbs the gel, leaving behind a stronger, more supported tissue structure.

What areas can Radiesse treat?

Radiesse works well in areas that need volume and definition, including the: Cheeks Jawline Chin Temples Smile lines (nasolabial folds) Back of the hands It’s especially effective in the lower face for patients seeking sculpted, natural-looking support.

No, injections of Radiesse are not painful. Discomfort is minimal, and Radiesse contains lidocaine to ease the injection process. Most patients describe the treatment as tolerable, with only brief pressure or stinging.

Absolutely! Radiesse is FDA-approved and has been used safely for years in aesthetic medicine. Because it stimulates collagen, it offers a regenerative benefit with very low risk. Still, it’s important for an experienced provider to administer your injections—like our team at DeeTox.

What should I expect after treatment?

You may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or redness at the injection sites, but these effects are normal and typically fade within a few days. Most patients return to work and daily activities immediately.

Can I combine Radiesse with other treatments?

Yes! We educate patients on ways to elevate results by combining Radiesse with neurotoxins , Sculptra , VirtueRF microneedling, and more. During your consultation, we can build a personalized plan to match your goals and optimize your outcome.

Radiesse

Biostimulation, Beautifully Done

A Lift That Lasts

Radiesse does more than just fill—it rebuilds. This biostimulating, collagen-boosting treatment restores volume and structure while improving skin quality over time.

Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which primarily add immediate plumpness, Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHa) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. These microspheres provide lift while encouraging long-term collagen remodeling.

What It Treats:

Wrinkles and folds
Jawline and cheek contours
Aging hands
Skin laxity

Radiesse provides instant lift and definition, with results that continue to improve as collagen production increases. Most patients enjoy smoother, firmer skin for 1 year or longer.
