What Is Radiesse?

Radiesse is an injectable cosmetic filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite, a mineral already found in your bones. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that work by holding water, Radiesse adds volume and structure while also stimulating your body to produce its own collagen over time.

Dr. Stephen Bracci uses Radiesse extensively in his Baselift™ non-surgical facelift procedures at VERVE Medical Cosmetics in Manhattan and Paramus. It’s a workhorse filler, ideal for lifting, contouring, and supporting the skin from beneath.

Where Is Radiesse Used Most?

This filler is most often used to:

When blended thinner, Radiesse acts as a pure Biostimulator for such areas as crepey neck, arms, or legs. Because it mimics the structure of natural tissue, Radiesse creates a firmer, more sculpted result without puffiness or water retention.

How Long Do Radiesse Results Last?

Results typically last 12 to 18 months, sometimes longer, since Radiesse continues to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production long after the initial injection.
