Injectables

Radiesse in Brentwood, CA. Instant structure, lasting collagen.

Radiesse does two jobs at once: it volumizes immediately, like a filler, and then keeps working as a collagen stimulator for months after. It’s the structural injectable, made for jawlines, cheekbones, chins, and one area most patients forget shows age fastest: the hands.

How it works

A filler and a biostimulator in one syringe.

Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres (a material naturally found in bone) suspended in a gel. The gel gives you the immediate result you see in the mirror before you leave. Then, over the following months, the microspheres stimulate your own collagen, so the result matures and holds as the gel absorbs.

That combination makes it Diana’s structural tool of choice for definition work: it has more lift and hold than softer hyaluronic fillers.

Where it shines

Best uses for Radiesse.

  • (01)

    Jawline definition

    Crisping the line between jaw and neck, in men and women.

  • (02)

    Cheekbone structure

    Lift and contour, not just fullness.

  • (03)

    Chin projection and balance

  • (04)

    Nasolabial folds

    The deeper ones that softer fillers struggle to support.

  • (05)

    Backs of the hands

    Restoring volume over tendons and veins; one of the few FDA-cleared treatments for hand rejuvenation.

Note for the consult conversation: Radiesse is not used in the lips or under the eyes. Softer products and PRP/PRF approaches do those jobs. Comparing collagen builders? See Sculptra and EZ Gel.

Your appointment

What to expect.

Numbing first, then precise placement along the areas mapped at your consultation, about 30 to 45 minutes total. You’ll see the structural change immediately. Mild swelling or bruising can last a few days; the collagen phase builds quietly over the next two to three months. Most results hold 12 to 18 months.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What’s the difference between Radiesse and regular filler?

Hyaluronic fillers are softer and dissolvable; Radiesse is firmer, adds collagen stimulation, and typically lasts longer. Structure work favors Radiesse; lips and under-eyes favor HA fillers.

Is Radiesse reversible?

No. Unlike hyaluronic fillers, it can’t be dissolved, which is exactly why injector experience matters and why Diana places it conservatively.

How long does it last?

Typically 12 to 18 months, often with results that age gracefully as your own collagen takes over.

Does it work for hands?

Yes. It’s one of the best-established treatments for restoring volume to aging hands, usually in one or two sessions.

How much does Radiesse cost?

Radiesse is quoted per syringe, with your total quoted before treatment.
