Radiesse®
As we age, volume loss in the face and hands becomes one of the most noticeable signs of aging. If you're in Naples or Fort Myers, Florida, Radiesse injections at Yag-Howard Cosmetic Dermatology offer a non-surgical path to a more youthful appearance. As a top-rated med spa and dermatology practice, we specialize in advanced injectables to help patients safely and effectively reduce facial wrinkles, smooth nasolabial folds, and restore lost volume in the face and hands.
Dr. Cyndi uses a unique technique where she mixes Radiesse with an HA filler (like Versa or Restylane) to provide both immediate and long-lasting results. The HA filler offers instant improvement, and as it is gradually absorbed, Radiesse’s collagen-stimulating effects reach full development. This innovative approach has been published in the International Journal of Women’s Dermatology.¹
What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse provides an immediate volumizing effect and stimulates your body’s own collagen production over time.² It’s an ideal solution for deeper creases, fine lines, marionette lines, smile lines, and volume loss in areas like the jawline, jowls, and corners of the mouth. To further enhance patient outcomes, Dr. Cyndi often combines Radiesse with an HA filler using her published technique for delivering both instant and sustained results.
Radiesse for Hand Rejuvenation
While many people focus on the face, your hands can also reveal age. Volume loss in the hands often results in visible tendons and veins. Radiesse for the hands is FDA-approved³ and specifically designed to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkled skin, and rejuvenate the appearance of aging hands. Our providers are highly experienced in Radiesse injections for the hands, delivering precise, safe, and aesthetically pleasing outcomes.
Benefits of Radiesse
At Yag-Howard Cosmetic Dermatology, our experienced injectors use Radiesse to deliver natural-looking results with minimal downtime. Whether you're looking for a subtle refresh or an alternative to cosmetic surgery, Radiesse offers long-lasting improvement in facial volume and skin texture. Unlike Botox or Dysport, which relax underlying muscles, Radiesse physically lifts and fills to support sagging tissues and replenish youthful contours.
Key Benefits of Radiesse:
-
Long-lasting results (often 12+ months)
-
Stimulates collagen for long-term improvement
-
Versatile treatment for face, jawline, and hands
-
Excellent choice for deeper facial folds and augmentation
Your Customized Radiesse Treatment
At your consultation, one of our licensed aesthetic providers will evaluate your facial structure, skin condition, and cosmetic goals. If appropriate, your provider may recommend our proprietary Radiesse + HA filler combination technique, which delivers immediate results from the HA filler while Radiesse works beneath the surface to stimulate collagen for long-term improvement. This method, recognized in the International Journal of Women’s Dermatology, is one of the ways we personalize treatment to achieve optimal outcomes. We’ll explain your options and create a customized treatment plan.
Radiesse treatments typically take less than an hour. Most patients experience minor swelling or redness at the injection site which resolves within a few days. Most patients return to daily activities immediately, making Radiesse a convenient option for those seeking effective results without surgery.
