A good candidate for Radiesse is typically an adult experiencing signs of aging, such as loss of facial volume and wrinkles. Candidates for dermal fillers are those with good overall health and realistic expectations for dermal fillers.

Results from Radiesse are visible almost immediately after the treatment. However, the full effect of the filler becomes more apparent within a week as the product settles and natural collagen production is stimulated.

Radiesse's results are durable, generally lasting for a year or more. Results vary depending on the treated area, the individual's skin type, and lifestyle.

Radiesse requires minimal downtime, allowing most patients to resume their normal activities within a few days. The injection site may experience temporary swelling, redness, and bruising.

Before receiving Radiesse, avoid medications that can increase bruising, such as aspirin and ibuprofen. Post-treatment, patients should avoid heavy physical activity for the first 24 hours to minimize swelling and allow the filler to stabilize.

During the Radiesse treatment, the filler is injected using a fine needle into the target areas. The process typically takes about 30 minutes. Patients might feel mild discomfort during the injection, but this is generally well tolerated.
