The Radiesse® Procedure
Radiesse injections are fast and typically require little to no recovery time. They can be completed in about 15 minutes. They don’t require any pre-injection allergy testing because their calcium-based microsphere technology very closely resembles the natural structures within the face. Radiesse® injections provide instant results that you can see before you walk out of the clinic; however, its advanced formulation stimulates collagen production, allowing for an additional, long-lasting rejuvenation effect.
Patients can opt for injections with or without lidocaine, a local anesthetic contained in the injection that is used to boost comfort and eliminate pain. During studies, 90% of patients reported a more comfortable experience when lidocaine was used.
The Uses of Radiesse®
Radiesse has been FDA-approved for injections around the nose, mouth, chin, and hands. While this product is most commonly used for wrinkle and fold reduction, it can also be used to fill hollows caused by aging, injury, scarring, weight loss, and disease-related lipoatrophy. The most common types of wrinkles and folds Radiesse® injections treat include:
- Smile lines
- Marionette lines
- Mouth corners
- Pre-jowl folds
- Chin wrinkles
- Sagging cheeks
- Hands
Patients interested in Radiesse® in Palm Springs should always visit an aesthetic physician to discuss your options. Patients should avoid this procedure if they are pregnant, nursing, under the age of 18, allergic to any ingredients in Radiesse®, afflicted with a bleeding disorder, or prone to anaphylaxis.

The Science of Radiesse®
Radiesse® is a smooth gel containing calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres. The smooth gel creates instant volume enhancement under the skin, lifting depressed areas and smoothing out deep creases. The microspheres have another function: stimulating the production of collagen and allowing your body to rebuild and restore its collagen stores. Even after the gel and microspheres have been absorbed by the body, the new collagen growth will remain. Thanks to its mechanism for long-term rejuvenation, Radiesse® has been clinically proven to last for up to a year.
Radiesse® for Hands
It’s been said that the best way to determine someone’s age is by looking at the backs of their hands. Our hands experience extensive volume loss as we age, leading to bony hands, wrinkled, crepe-like skin, and visible tendons and veins. If you’re concerned about showing signs of aging on the back of your hands, Radiesse® is Aesthetic Art’s preferred dermal filler for hand rejuvenation. By restoring volume in the back of the hand, Radiesse® can give patients smoother, fuller, and youthful looking hands. Because it’s an injectable, Radiesse® allows for precise sculpting and contouring of the hands; more importantly, the fairly painless procedure is optimal for treating the delicate skin on the hands.
Why Choose Aesthetic Art for Radiesse®
