Why Choose Dr. Avaliani for RADIESSE®?
RADIESSE® is an FDA-approved dermal filler and biostimulator that provides both immediate volume correction and long-term collagen stimulation. Made from calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier, RADIESSE works in two phases: the gel carrier instantly adds volume, then as it absorbs, the CaHA microspheres stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. Results last at least 1 year and longer.

What Is RADIESSE®?
RADIESSE® is an FDA-approved dermal filler composed of calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier medium. It works uniquely in two phases: the gel carrier provides immediate volume to smooth wrinkles and folds, then as the gel gradually absorbs, the CaHA microspheres stimulate your body’s natural collagen production for long-lasting structural support.
At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, every RADIESSE treatment is performed with meticulous precision. The product comes premixed with lidocaine for virtually painless injection. Accuvein technology visualizes blood vessels during treatment to reduce bruising risk. RADIESSE is FDA-approved for both facial wrinkles and hand rejuvenation, one of few fillers approved for both areas.
How RADIESSE® Works
RADIESSE treatment follows a dual-action protocol:
- Dr. Avaliani evaluates your wrinkles, folds, and volume loss to design a targeted treatment plan for immediate and long-term improvement
- RADIESSE is precisely injected into targeted areas: the gel carrier immediately adds volume to smooth wrinkles and restore contour
- As the gel carrier gradually absorbs, the CaHA microspheres stimulate your fibroblasts to produce new collagen around them
- The microspheres are naturally eliminated by the body over time, leaving behind your own newly formed collagen for lasting support
- Results are visible immediately and last at least 1 year, with collagen stimulation continuing to improve results over time
Concerns We Treat with RADIESSE®
Smile Lines
Deep nasolabial folds running from the nose to the mouth corners. RADIESSE’s dual-action formula immediately fills these lines while stimulating collagen production for lasting correction that continues to improve over time.
Marionette Lines
Lines running downward from the mouth corners that create a sad or tired expression. RADIESSE provides powerful, long-lasting correction of these deep lines, restoring a more pleasant, youthful lower face appearance.
Pre-Jowl Area
Volume loss along the jawline that contributes to jowl formation and a less defined profile. RADIESSE restores support in the pre-jowl sulcus, creating a smoother jawline and reducing the appearance of early jowls.
Chin Wrinkles
Mentalis strain and horizontal creases on the chin that create a dimpled or cobblestone texture. RADIESSE smooths chin wrinkles and provides structural support for a cleaner, more refined lower face appearance.
Hand Rejuvenation
Volume loss on the backs of the hands that reveals tendons, veins, and bony structures. RADIESSE is FDA-approved for hand rejuvenation, restoring youthful volume and smoothing the skin for hands that match your face.
Mouth Corners
Downturned oral commissures that create a permanent frown or unhappy resting expression. RADIESSE subtly lifts the mouth corners and supports the surrounding tissue for a more pleasant, approachable expression.

RADIESSE® frequently asked questions
What is RADIESSE?
RADIESSE is an FDA-approved dermal filler and biostimulator made from calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres in a gel carrier. It works in two phases: the gel provides immediate volume, then as it absorbs, the microspheres stimulate your body’s natural collagen production for lasting structural support.
How long do RADIESSE results last?
Clinical trials confirm RADIESSE results last at least 1 year and longer. The dual-action mechanism of immediate fill plus collagen stimulation provides among the longest-lasting results of any injectable filler. Duration varies by treatment area and individual metabolism.
Is RADIESSE reversible?
No. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, RADIESSE cannot be dissolved with an enzyme. The CaHA microspheres are naturally eliminated by the body over time. For this reason, Dr. Avaliani may recommend starting with a reversible HA filler if you are new to injectables.
Does RADIESSE hurt?
There is virtually no discomfort. RADIESSE comes premixed with lidocaine, a local anesthetic, for comfortable injection. Dr. Avaliani also uses Accuvein technology and the Vibrata tool to further ensure a comfortable experience. Pro-Nox is available for additional relaxation.
Can RADIESSE be used on the hands?
Yes. RADIESSE is one of very few fillers FDA-approved for both facial wrinkles and hand rejuvenation. It restores volume to the backs of the hands, covering visible tendons, veins, and bony structures for a more youthful hand appearance.
Will RADIESSE show up on X-rays?
Yes. Because RADIESSE contains calcium, it may be visible on X-rays and CT scans for up to 12 months after treatment. Always inform your radiologist or healthcare provider that you have had RADIESSE treatment if imaging is needed.
What are the side effects?
Common side effects include swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at injection sites. These are typically mild and temporary. Rare risks include infection and accidental blood vessel injection. Dr. Avaliani’s Accuvein technology significantly reduces vascular complications.
How is RADIESSE different from JUVÉDERM or Restylane?
JUVÉDERM and Restylane are hyaluronic acid fillers that add volume only and are reversible. RADIESSE uses calcium hydroxyapatite that both fills and stimulates collagen production, lasts longer, but is not reversible. Each has specific advantages for different treatment goals.
Can RADIESSE be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. RADIESSE for structural support and collagen stimulation combines well with HA fillers for fine lines, Botox for dynamic wrinkles, Sculptra for deep volume, and laser treatments for skin quality. Dr. Avaliani designs comprehensive rejuvenation protocols.
Who should not get RADIESSE?
Patients with severe allergies, bleeding disorders, or active skin infections should not receive RADIESSE. First-time filler patients may be better suited for a reversible HA filler initially. Dr. Avaliani will review your medical history during your consultation.
