NEWPORT BEACH, CA
RADIESSE
Radiesse is a volumizing filler that also acts to increase the natural collagen production of your own tissues.
Like Voluma, Radiesse has a thick viscosity making it an ideal filler for cheeks, and temples and for building foundational support to “lift” sagging skin or enhance facial features like the jawline. Unlike other HA fillers, Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxyapatite and cannot be “erased” with hyaluronidase, a natural enzyme that causes the degradation of HA to remove an unwanted filler.

with Radiesse?
BENEFITS OF RADIESSE
Because of its viscosity, Radiesse is ideal for creating beautiful, natural-looking cheeks, filling temples, treating pre-jowl lines, augmenting jawlines and chin, and lifting nasal labial folds (smile and parenthesis lines) to soften facial wrinkles.
Radiesse offers several advantages to Newport Beach patients:
- Instant Volume Restoration: Radiesse provides immediate results, instantly plumping areas with volume loss like the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and smile lines.
- Stimulates Natural Collagen Production: The calcium hydroxylapatite in Radiesse encourages the production of collagen, promoting a more youthful appearance over time.
- Long-Lasting Results: Unlike some other fillers, Radiesse can last up to a year or more, allowing you to enjoy your results for longer.
- Non-Surgical Solution: Radiesse offers a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures, allowing for quick recovery and minimal downtime.
- Customizable Treatment: Our expert injectors will create a specialized treatment plan tailored to your ideal facial appearance, ensuring that you achieve the desired results.

IDEAL CANDIDATES
Radiesse is ideal for men and women concerned with facial volume loss, deep wrinkles, laxity, or who desire prominent contours of the face.
Some medications, lifestyles, and medical conditions may be contraindicated, restrict or prohibit treatment. During your initial consultation at Aesthetics MD, our expert injectors will assess your individual needs and determine if Radiesse is the right fit for you.
We will discuss your aesthetic goals and ensure that you are informed about the benefits and potential side effects of the treatment.
CONSULTATION, PREPARATION & PROCEDURE
During your initial consultation, a provider trained by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Anton will assess your facial structure and discuss your aesthetic goals. The injection process is quick, typically taking less than an hour.
To minimize bruising at the injection sites, it is recommended to avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (like aspirin, ibuprofen, or vitamin E) for at least a week prior to treatment. On the day of your procedure, a numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort.
Radiesse can be administered through a cannula (a small, blunt-tipped needle) or injected deeper into the bone. Both processes are made comfortable by the numbing cream and the steady hand of the injector. Ice packs are offered during and after treatment for added comfort.
The calcium hydroxylapatite gel provides immediate volume while the calcium-based microspheres stimulate natural collagen production.

RADIESSE RECOVERY
After the injections, you may experience mild swelling or redness, which is normal. Ice packs may be applied to reduce any discomfort.
You’ll receive specific aftercare instructions to follow for optimal results. Following your treatment, most patients can return to their normal activities immediately. However, it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours. Results can be seen immediately, with further improvements as collagen develops in the following weeks.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Radiesse offers immediate results. Cheeks are fuller, contours more defined, wrinkles diminished or erased, and in some cases, the skin is “lifted” and appears tauter.
For optimal results, wait 3-5 days after treatment to allow swelling and any bruising to subside. Radiesse is clinically proven to last a year or more. However, each body absorbs Radiesse at its own rate. People with fast metabolism and athletes can expect to absorb Radiesse more quickly.
For best results, protect skin by limiting sun exposure and applying a physical sunblock daily, such as CORE made in the shade or Elta MD. In some cases, Botox may enhance Radiesse’s results and longevity.
