What Should I Know About Radiesse?

There are many injectable wrinkle treatments available for facial rejuvenation today, and Radiesse is a standout option offered by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Miguel Gallegos at Hermosa Plastic Surgery in Albuquerque, NM. Radiesse is ideal for addressing mild-to-moderate wrinkles and lines on the face and is also FDA-approved for restoring volume loss in the hands.

Unlike some fillers that require frequent touch-ups, Radiesse offers longer-lasting results—often lasting a year or more. It contains microspheres of calcium hydroxyapatite suspended in a smooth gel that provides immediate volume and stimulates your body’s natural collagen production over time. This minimally invasive injection helps fill and smooth facial contours for a more youthful appearance.

Radiesse can also be combined with other injectable treatments, such as wrinkle relaxers or different fillers, to create a personalized plan tailored to your specific goals.

Am I a Candidate for Radiesse Injections?

Radiesse is best suited for healthy adults concerned with mild to moderate facial wrinkles and volume loss. It is effective for treating marionette lines, smile lines, chin wrinkles, pre-jowl folds, and fine lines around the sides of the lips (but it is not recommended for use directly in the lips). Radiesse is also an excellent option for hand rejuvenation to restore youthful volume.

You should avoid Radiesse if you have allergies to lidocaine or any of its ingredients. It is important to fully disclose your medical history and allergies to Dr. Gallegos during your consultation. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, those trying to conceive, or anyone who might become pregnant in the near future should not receive Radiesse injections.
