Radiesse is an injectable dermal filler and collagen biostimulator used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and improve the appearance of aging skin. For patients in Lone Tree and Denver, CO, Radiesse can be a strong option for facial rejuvenation, hand volume restoration, and natural-looking contour support without surgery.
At TRU Medical Aesthetics & Wellness, Radiesse treatments are performed by Shanni Sutton, MSN, FNP-C, a board-certified family nurse practitioner with advanced training in aesthetic procedures, functional medicine, and hormone replacement therapy. Her prevention-focused approach helps patients improve visible signs of aging while supporting balance, skin quality, and results that look refreshed rather than overfilled.
What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse is a biostimulatory injectable filler made with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) suspended in a smooth gel carrier. After injection, the gel provides immediate volume and structure, while the CaHA microspheres help stimulate the body’s natural collagen production over time.
Collagen is one of the key proteins responsible for firm, resilient, youthful-looking skin. As collagen production declines with age, the face may begin to show volume loss, deeper folds, skin laxity, and changes in contour. Radiesse can address these concerns by providing both immediate correction and longer-term collagen support.
Radiesse and Radiesse Plus are FDA-approved for the correction of moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and folds, including nasolabial folds. Radiesse is also indicated for hand augmentation to correct volume loss in the backs of the hands and for décolleté wrinkle correction when diluted according to approved guidelines.
How Radiesse Works
Radiesse works differently from traditional hyaluronic acid fillers. While hyaluronic acid fillers primarily add soft volume, Radiesse provides structure and encourages collagen remodeling. This makes it especially helpful for areas that benefit from lift, contour, and firmness.
During treatment, Shanni Sutton carefully evaluates facial anatomy, volume loss, skin quality, and the patient’s aesthetic goals. Radiesse is then placed in precise areas to support natural contours and improve visible signs of aging. Treatment may be used to soften deeper folds, enhance lower facial structure, restore hand volume, or improve skin texture, depending on the patient’s needs.
Some results may be visible soon after treatment, with continued improvement as collagen production responds. Mild swelling, tenderness, bruising, or redness can occur after injections, but these effects are typically temporary.
The Benefits Of Radiesse
Radiesse may be a good option for patients who want both immediate improvement and gradual collagen support. Potential benefits include:
-
Restoring lost facial volume
-
Softening deeper wrinkles and folds
-
Improving the appearance of nasolabial folds
-
Supporting jawline and lower face contour
-
Rejuvenating aging hands affected by volume loss
-
Encouraging natural collagen production
-
Creating results that can look smooth, structured, and refreshed
Because Radiesse has a firmer consistency than some other fillers, it is often selected for areas that need support and definition. A consultation helps determine whether Radiesse, another filler, or a combination treatment plan is the best fit.
Is Radiesse Right For You?
Radiesse may be right for adults who are noticing facial volume loss, deeper folds, softening contours, or visible aging in the hands. It can be especially helpful for patients who want a treatment that does more than fill lines and are interested in collagen stimulation as part of their aesthetic plan.
This treatment may not be ideal for every area of the face. For example, softer fillers may be better suited for certain fine-detail areas, while Radiesse may be selected for structure, support, and biostimulation. The safest and most effective plan depends on anatomy, medical history, skin quality, previous injectable treatments, and the patient’s desired level of correction.
At TRU Medical Aesthetics & Wellness, patients receive a personalized consultation before treatment. Shanni reviews goals, evaluates areas of concern, and explains appropriate options so each patient can make an informed decision about their care.
