As we age, wrinkles, creases, and volume loss can significantly impact our appearance. At Avanti Medical Center in Lehi, UT, we offer Radiesse, a non-invasive treatment designed to tackle these concerns. Radiesse is an effective dermal filler that smooths wrinkles and restores lost volume. This treatment rejuvenates your look, providing a more youthful appearance without the need for surgery.
What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse is a dermal filler designed to treat mild to moderate facial wrinkles and restore volume to aging hands. Unlike other injectables, it uses calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres in a gel to plump and smooth the skin without invasive surgery. This FDA-approved treatment enhances your natural features by restoring volume and creating a smoother skin surface. Radiesse is a safe and effective option for non-surgical facial contouring.

Our Injection Technique
Radiesse dermal injections are performed in a treatment room at Avanti Medical Center in around 30 to 60 minutes once you have completed the consultation. To start the treatment, you will be seated in a relaxed position while the injection sites are cleaned and marked. Many patients feel only mild discomfort during their treatment at the first prick, but if needed, a local anesthetic may be applied to the treatment sites.
The dosage of Radiesse, chosen at your consultation, will be placed in a fine syringe. The pre-marked injection sites will help the injector to carefully administer Radiesse into the needed areas. After the treatment is done, a cold compress may be held to the treated areas to help alleviate swelling and bruising.
Radiesse FAQs
What Can Radiesse Treat?
Radiesse can treat marionette lines, smile lines, pre-jowl folds, chin wrinkles, and lines that form on the sides of the lips. Radiesse is also approved to treat volume that is often lost with age in the hands to help them look smoother and more youthful.
How Much Does Radiesse Cost?
The cost of Radiesse treatments will depend on the amount used to match your desired outcome. During your consultation at our practice, your injector will discuss your concerns and goals, and then they can create your treatment plan. They can also discuss your potential costs.
How Does Radiesse Compare to Other Fillers?
Fillers each have unique properties and formulas to help with different issues. Common filler ingredients are HA (hyaluronic acid), CaHa (calcium hydroxyapatite), poly-L-lactic acid, and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Radiesse is made with CaHa-based microspheres, which stimulate the natural production of collagen. During your consultation, your injector will review the various fillers and assess your skin’s volume, laxity, and tone to help you decide which one is correct for you.
How Long Does Radiesse Last?
Radiesse typically provides results lasting 12 to 18 months, depending on the individual’s skin type, the area treated, and lifestyle. The filler adds immediate volume and stimulates natural collagen production, which helps extend the treatment’s effects over a longer period. Regular follow-up treatments can help maintain the desired aesthetic result.
Are Radiesse Injections Painful?
Usually, patients don’t need numbing cream before their injection treatment. However, numbing cream can be applied to make you feel more comfortable. Most patients may have minor and short-lived discomfort during the actual injections.
What Are the Side Effects of Radiesse?
Injections of Radiesse rarely produce severe side effects when done by an experienced injector, like the ones at Avanti Medical Center. During your consultation, tell your injector about your medical history and if you have any known allergies to avoid a reaction. Immediately following your injection, you may have mild redness, bruising, itching, or numbness. This is temporary and will generally be gone in one to two days.
What Other Treatments Can I Combine With Radiesse?
Radiesse injections may be performed with other injectable and non-surgical treatments to deliver your ideal results. Some patients use fillers like Radiesse with BOTOX® or another wrinkle relaxer to produce an overall younger-looking appearance. Talk to your injector when they are creating your treatment plan to consider other treatments that complement the results of Radiesse dermal filler injections.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Radiesse?
A good candidate for Radiesse is an adult seeking to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds or to restore volume in their hands. Ideal candidates are in overall good health, have realistic expectations of the results, and are not allergic to Radiesse’s ingredients.
Radiesse is especially suited for durable, long-lasting effects with minimal treatment sessions. It appeals to busy individuals who prefer a low-maintenance approach, as it gradually enhances natural collagen production for subtle, ongoing improvements. A consultation with us can help determine if Radiesse is the right choice for your aesthetic needs.
