Radiesse® is a dermal filler that rejuvenates and enhances the skin’s appearance. Radiesse® filler is unlike other gel-based fillers; it primarily consists of microscopic particles of calcium hydroxyapatite suspended in a water-based solution, making it biocompatible and well-tolerated by the body. It provides immediate volume to the treated area and stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, contributing to firmer, more elastic skin. Radiesse® can improve the appearance of various wrinkles, including nasolabial folds and marionette lines, and augment the cheeks, chin, and jawline.
Your Radiesse® Filler Consultation
Your journey to a refreshed look begins with our consultation. In this session, we'll discuss your goals, answer your questions, and ensure you feel informed. Every individual is unique, and at our Chicago clinic, we tailor our approach to fit your vision. We'll also review your medical history to ensure your well-being during the treatment. By the time you leave, you'll have a personalized treatment plan in place.
Preparing for Radiesse® Filler
While preparations are straightforward, they are crucial for the best outcomes. We might advise avoiding certain medications like aspirin or specific anti-inflammatories a few weeks before your appointment to reduce the risk of bruising. It's also beneficial to limit sun exposure prior to the treatment.
During the Radiesse® Filler Procedure
The procedure is quick and often completed within fifteen to forty minutes. After initial preparations, which may include a local anesthetic for comfort, our licensed injector will administer the Radiesse® injections.
Radiesse® Filler Aftercare & Recovery
After the procedure, our team will guide you on post-treatment care. The recovery from Radiesse® filler is generally swift, with most people resuming their routines immediately. However, recovery varies by individual. We suggest taking it easy for a day or two — limiting physical activities, alcohol, sun exposure, and smoking. Some tenderness or swelling might occur, but these typically subside soon. Within a week, you'll likely see the rejuvenated results.
Am I a Good Candidate for Radiesse® Fillers?
Radiesse® fillers are great for those looking for a longer-lasting, non-surgical treatment to reduce the signs of aging and who have realistic expectations about the results.

A single injection can bring improvements for over a year, restoring a more youthful and rejuvenated complexion that will enhance how you see yourself. With minimal downtime following treatment and initial plumping with extended corrections for one to two years, Radiesse® is a top choice for non-surgical skin treatments.

How painful is Radiesse®?
At Impressions Face + Body, we take all necessary steps to make the treatment as pain-free as possible for you. During the procedure, a local or topical numbing agent is applied prior to the injection, and you can expect minimal discomfort. Following your Radiesse® injection, you can expect some mild swelling, tenderness, or discomfort. Our team will discuss appropriate strategies to manage any discomfort with you.
Are There Radiesse® Risks?
Our extensive expertise in dermal injections means that significant risks or complications of Radiesse® filler treatments are minimal. However, you may experience some redness at the injection site, which normally subsides within a day. Facial tenderness may bring some discomfort to the treated site, but that resolves within a week. As the skin is going through a natural healing process, itchiness may accompany the treatment, and on rare occasions, bruising can occur.
How long do Radiesse® filler results last?
Radiesse® filler produces immediate improvements, plumping the skin and melting away fine lines and wrinkles. As our natural aging process cannot be stopped with dermal fillers, Radiesse® filler results last for one to two years thanks to the stimulation of your body’s natural collagen production, bringing corrections for an extended period of time.
What procedures pair well with a Radiesse®?
