Radiesse Structure
A calcium hydroxylapatite filler that restores structure immediately while stimulating your body's own collagen over time.
Overview
Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) filler that works in two ways: it provides immediate structural support and volume, while also stimulating your body's natural collagen production over time. Unlike softer hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse is designed for areas that benefit from firmer contour and definition — including the jawline, chin, cheeks, nasolabial folds, and hands. Results are visible right away and continue to improve as new collagen develops, typically lasting 12–18 months. At SkinUp, every placement is guided by your anatomy and goals — structure with intention, never excess.

Radiesse Treatment Process
Consultation & Assessment
We evaluate your facial structure, anatomy, and goals to determine if Radiesse is the right option. Your provider creates a personalized plan focused on structure, contour, and long-term results.
Cleansing & Numbing
Treatment areas are thoroughly cleansed and prepped. Topical numbing may be applied for comfort, though Radiesse contains lidocaine for built-in comfort during injection.
Injection & Placement
Using precise techniques with a fine needle or cannula, Radiesse is placed in targeted areas to restore structure and definition. Your provider gently massages the area for even distribution.
Aftercare & Results
Results are visible immediately, with continued improvement over weeks as your body builds new collagen. Mild swelling is normal and typically resolves within a few days. Results last 12–18 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Radiesse best for?
Radiesse is often chosen for areas that need firmer support rather than softness alone, such as the jawline, chin, cheeks, and hands. It gives immediate structure while also supporting collagen over time, which makes it useful for patients who want definition with longevity.
How is Radiesse different from hyaluronic acid filler?
Hyaluronic acid fillers are softer and often used when flexibility or plush volume matters. Radiesse is firmer, more structural, and also stimulates collagen. That makes it a strong option when the goal is support, contour, and facial balancing.
How long does Radiesse last?
Most Radiesse results last about 12-18 months. You see immediate support from the product itself, and the collagen response can continue improving the area over time. Longevity varies based on the area treated and your metabolism.
Who is a good candidate for Radiesse in Miami?
Radiesse can be a strong option for patients who need firmer support in areas like the jawline, chin, cheeks, or hands. It tends to make the most sense when structure and contour are the priority rather than softness alone.
