Aging Gracefully—with a Little Help
Aging is a natural and beautiful process, but sometimes, the visible changes in our skin—like wrinkles, volume loss, and sagging—can make us look older than we feel. At The Rolling Stone MedSpa, we believe in helping you look as vibrant as you feel inside. One of the most advanced solutions we offer for restoring youthful volume and definition is RADIESSE®, a revolutionary dermal filler that not only smooths wrinkles but also stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production for long-lasting, rejuvenated results.
If you’re searching for a treatment that goes beyond surface-level plumping, RADIESSE® is the collagen-boosting filler that redefines what anti-aging looks like.
What Is RADIESSE®?
RADIESSE® is an FDA-approved injectable dermal filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers that primarily add volume temporarily, RADIESSE® acts on a deeper level—providing immediate lift and then gradually stimulating your body’s natural collagen and elastin production.
This dual-action formula makes it one of the most advanced and effective options for addressing moderate to severe facial wrinkles, folds, and volume loss.
How RADIESSE® Works
RADIESSE® works in two key phases:
- Instant Volume and Lift:
Right after your injection, the gel provides immediate structure and volume to smooth out wrinkles and lift sagging areas. You’ll see visible improvement in facial contours right away. - Collagen Stimulation Over Time:
Over the following weeks and months, the CaHA microspheres stimulate the body’s fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin. This process rebuilds your skin’s underlying structure, resulting in long-term firmness and natural rejuvenation.
In simple terms, RADIESSE® doesn’t just fill—it helps your skin rebuild itself from within.
The Top Benefits of RADIESSE®
RADIESSE® offers several unique advantages that set it apart from other fillers and rejuvenation treatments:
1. Long-Lasting, Natural-Looking Results
Because RADIESSE® stimulates collagen growth, results can last up to 12–18 months—much longer than traditional fillers. And since the filler encourages your body to restore its own collagen, your results look smooth, natural, and beautifully subtle.
2. Restores Volume and Definition
Over time, our skin loses volume and firmness, especially around the cheeks, jawline, and temples. RADIESSE® restores youthful contours and can even define areas like the chin and jawline, creating a naturally lifted, sculpted appearance.
3. Reduces Deep Wrinkles and Folds
RADIESSE® is ideal for smoothing nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, and pre-jowl folds. Its thicker, more supportive structure makes it perfect for deeper wrinkles that lighter fillers can’t effectively correct.
4. Boosts Skin Quality and Elasticity
Beyond filling and lifting, RADIESSE® enhances overall skin texture, firmness, and elasticity by stimulating collagen and elastin—two key components that give skin its youthful bounce.
5. FDA-Approved for Hands
RADIESSE® is one of the few fillers approved by the FDA to restore volume on the back of the hands, reducing visible veins and tendons while rejuvenating aging hands for a more youthful look.
6. Minimal Downtime
Treatments typically take less than an hour, with minimal discomfort and no surgery required. You can return to your regular activities the same day, making RADIESSE® a perfect lunchtime rejuvenation treatment.
RADIESSE® vs. Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: What’s the Difference?
Both RADIESSE® and hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are excellent tools for facial rejuvenation—but they work differently.
| Feature | RADIESSE® | HA Fillers |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Ingredient | Calcium hydroxylapatite | Hyaluronic acid |
| Mechanism | Stimulates collagen production | Adds temporary volume |
| Longevity | 12–18 months | 6–12 months |
| Ideal For | Deep wrinkles, facial sculpting, hands | Lips, fine lines, subtle enhancements |
| Texture | Thicker and firmer | Softer and smoother |
If you’re seeking structural support, long-lasting lift, and natural collagen renewal, RADIESSE® may be the perfect solution.
Where RADIESSE® Can Be Used
RADIESSE® is a versatile filler that can address multiple areas of the face and body. Common treatment zones include:
- Cheeks and Mid-Face: Restores volume and lift
- Jawline and Chin: Improves contour and firmness
- Smile Lines (Nasolabial Folds): Softens deep creases
- Marionette Lines: Reduces sagging near the mouth
- Temples: Fills hollowed areas for a balanced profile
- Hands: Rejuvenates aging skin on the back of hands
The Treatment Process at The Rolling Stone MedSpa
At The Rolling Stone MedSpa, every RADIESSE® treatment is personalized to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Consultation
Your provider will perform a thorough skin assessment and discuss your desired results. We’ll evaluate where volume loss or wrinkles are most noticeable and create a customized treatment plan to ensure balanced, natural rejuvenation.
2. Preparation
The targeted areas are cleansed and numbed with a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. RADIESSE® also contains lidocaine, which helps make the procedure virtually pain-free.
3. Injection
Using advanced injection techniques, your expert injector will place RADIESSE® precisely into the areas that need volume or definition. The treatment typically takes 30–45 minutes.
4. Recovery
You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness for a day or two—common with any injectable. However, downtime is minimal, and most patients return to their regular activities immediately.
When Will I See Results?
You’ll notice instant lift and smoothing right after your appointment. Over the next several weeks, your skin will continue to improve as new collagen forms, providing even more natural rejuvenation over time.
Full results typically appear around 4–6 weeks, lasting up to 18 months depending on the treatment area and individual metabolism.
