If you follow the trends for skincare, you’ve undoubtedly heard of Botox and lip filler. These all-stars of injectables are talked about in nearly every beauty circle. But there’s this one injectable that’s been flying a little under the radar, and honestly? It deserves the spotlight. Let’s talk about Radiesse.

If you haven’t heard of it yet, you’re not alone. Radiesse is a bio-stimulator injectable treatment that works over time to make you look glowy, lifted, and refreshed. All without screaming, “I just got something done.” Let’s break down why Radiesse might just be your new favorite aesthetic secret.

Who’s It For?

Radiesse is an injectable dermal filler, but unlike traditional fillers (like hyaluronic acid-based ones), Radiesse is made of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA), which acts as a biostimulator. Telling your body to make more of its own collagen, and hacking your skincare from the inside out.

When injected, it gives an immediate lift and plumpness, which we love. But then over the next few months, it kickstarts your collagen production. That means your results actually improve over time.

Why Everyone’s Obsessed

Honestly, Radiesse is somewhat of an insider secret in the aesthetic world.

It’s for people who want:

A natural glow that doesn’t look “done”
Long-lasting results
A little lift without surgery
Skin-smoothing and texture-blurring benefits

And the best part? Radiesse tends to last 12-18 months, depending on the area. So you’re not in and out of the clinic every few months for touch-ups.

Bonus: it’s also a great preventative treatment. If you’re already doing things like Botox, Radiesse can help your skin stay firmer, longer. It supports your existing results and gives your skin the collagen and elastin boost it needs!

Radiesse Treatments

Here’s where Radiesse starts showing off. It’s so versatile. Depending on how it’s mixed and injected, it can either sculpt and contour or softly smooth and refresh. Here are a few popular treatments:

1. Liquid BBL (Yes, Really)

Radiesse can be injected into the hip dips or upper buttocks to create a subtle, natural-looking lift and curve. It’s a great option if you’re looking for volume without implants or surgery, and it adds a subtle lift and contour to fill out your favorite jeans.

2. Radiesse for Hands

Hands are often overlooked when it comes to aging treatments, but this treatment can give them new life! It restores lost volume, smooths out that crepey skin look, and makes your hands look youthful and fresh again.

3. Jawline & Chin Contour

Contouring is one of Radiesse’s top features. It’s often used to define the jawline or add structure to the chin. Perfect for that selfie-ready side profile.

4. Skin Glow Up (Diluted Radiesse aka “Radiesse Wash”)

This is where the glow factor really kicks in. When Radiesse is diluted with saline and lidocaine, it becomes more of a skin-booster than a filler. It can be injected into the neck, chest, or face for an all-over smoother, tighter look. Think: blurred pores, improved texture, subtle lift.

“Radiesse is one of my favorite injectable treatments to give patients because it stimulates collagen and gives the skin the kind of long-term support and structure it needs. It’s one of those treatments that has a major payoff over time.”
