RADIESSE®
At The Aesthetic Medicine and Anti-Aging Clinics of Louisiana, we know that true rejuvenation comes from a natural-looking refresh. RADIESSE® is a unique and long-lasting dermal filler that not only restores youthful volume but also helps your skin rebuild its structure from within. Whether you’re in Baton Rouge or Lafayette, our expert providers use this innovative treatment to smooth wrinkles and revive your complexion for beautiful, lasting results.
What Is RADIESSE®?
RADIESSE® is an FDA-approved injectable filler that is composed of tiny, smooth, calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. When injected by our skilled providers, it works in two important ways to create beautiful, long-lasting results.
First, the gel instantly adds volume to areas that have lost their youthful-looking fullness, like the cheeks, temples, jawline, and the back of your hands. This immediate plumping effect helps to smooth out lines and wrinkles for an instantly refreshed look.
However, what makes RADIESSE® truly unique is its ability to stimulate your body’s natural collagen. Over time, the tiny calcium microspheres act as a scaffold, encouraging your skin to produce new, healthy collagen. This new collagen forms a strong network beneath your skin, which improves its structure and elasticity for long-term skin health and a naturally radiant appearance.
This two-step process means you get the best of both worlds: instant gratification from the immediate volume, followed by a long-term improvement in your skin’s quality and texture. The results are natural, long-lasting, and can endure for a year or more, making RADIESSE® an excellent choice for non-surgical rejuvenation that delivers both immediate and future benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions
A RADIESSE® treatment is designed to be a quick and convenient procedure that fits easily into your schedule. The actual injection process typically takes only 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. During your appointment, one of our expert injectors will first cleanse your skin and discuss the specific areas to be addressed. They will then carefully and precisely inject RADIESSE® using a very fine needle.
Because there is little to no downtime associated with the procedure, you can get back to your normal activities, including work or social events, almost immediately. We'll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and help you achieve the best possible results.
Most patients report a minimal amount of discomfort during the injections. RADIESSE® is mixed with a local anesthetic, which helps to numb the treatment area and make the procedure more comfortable. Our providers also use techniques that help minimize any potential discomfort.
One of the best aspects of a RADIESSE® treatment is that the results are visible immediately. As soon as the product is injected, you will notice an instant improvement in volume and a smoother, more youthful appearance in the treated areas. This initial plumping effect helps to fill in lines and restore contours.
The long-term benefits of RADIESSE® continue to develop in the weeks and months following your treatment. The tiny calcium microspheres begin to stimulate your body's natural collagen production. This process, known as neocollagenesis, builds a new support network beneath your skin, which continues to improve its structure and elasticity over time.
Because of this unique two-step process, the results of a single RADIESSE® treatment are long-lasting and can endure for a year or even longer. For some patients, the results may last up to 18 months, making it an excellent investment for sustained facial rejuvenation.
As with any injectable treatment, some mild and temporary side effects may occur. The most common side effects include mild redness, swelling, bruising, or itching at the injection sites. These are normal reactions that typically resolve on their own within a few days. Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and is always available to answer any questions you may have, ensuring a smooth and comfortable recovery.
While RADIESSE® is a safe and effective treatment for many people, it is not recommended for everyone. You should not receive RADIESSE® if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of severe allergies. Additionally, if you have an active skin infection or inflammation in or near the treatment area, your treatment should be postponed. The best way to determine if RADIESSE® is the right choice for you is to schedule a consultation with our experienced providers. We will assess your medical history, discuss your aesthetic goals, and create a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your unique needs.
