Radiesse®
Structured Volume and Skin Smoothing in Fairview Heights, IL
At Pure 111 in Fairview Heights, IL, we offer a range of injectable products to support different goals, whether you are looking to add structure, soften lines or improve skin texture. Radiesse is one of our favorites because it does more than restore volume. It can also help refine the skin’s texture. Its calcium-based microspheres provide structure while stimulating collagen production for longer-lasting support. We have seen it work well for patients who want a smooth, natural look with improved definition. After years of hands-on training and growth, we continue to focus on safe, effective treatments that bring value to our community.
What is Radiesse®?
Radiesse is a biostimulator made of calcium hydroxylapatite suspended in a smooth gel. It’s used to enhance volume in areas like the cheeks, jawline and hands while gradually improving the skin’s firmness and elasticity. While hyaluronic acid injectables primarily act as space fillers, Radiesse activates your body’s collagen production. The added support can create a more lifted and defined appearance.
How Does Radiesse work?
Radiesse filler works in two phases—first by providing immediate volume and structure, and then by stimulating collagen growth in the treated area. The microspheres in the formula trigger a response from your skin’s natural healing processes. As the gel carrier absorbs, new collagen begins to form around the calcium particles. Collagen-stimulating treatments that use a gel carrier are especially useful for patients looking for both instant results and longer-term skin improvement.
What are the benefits of Radiesse?
Patients often choose the unique formulation of Radiesse when they want structural support along with improvements in skin texture. Treatments are efficient, and results tend to hold up longer than many other fillers. Some of the benefits of Radiesse are that it:
- Adds volume and definition to the face and hands
- Stimulates natural collagen production
- Has long-lasting effects
- Is ideal for deeper folds and facial contouring
- Has minimal downtime
Who are the ideal candidates for Radiesse?
Radiesse is a minimally invasive treatment that is suitable for patients of all skin tones and types. Good candidates include:
- Adults with moderate to severe facial folds or wrinkles
- People with volume loss in the cheeks, jawline or chin
- Those looking for longer-lasting filler options
- Individuals in good general health with realistic expectations
This treatment is not recommended for those who are pregnant or those with severe allergies or bleeding disorders.
What Should I Expect
From My Consultation?
Before
Before your Radiesse treatment, we take time to assess your goals and evaluate the areas you’d like to address. We’ll review your health history, discuss your preferences, and determine whether Radiesse is the right option for you. If you’re a good candidate, we’ll map out a treatment approach and injection areas that align with your facial structure and the results you are hoping for.
During
Your dermal filler appointment typically begins with cleansing and topical numbing to keep you comfortable throughout the injection process. Once we determine the treatment areas, we inject a small amount of product into multiple locations to promote a smooth and even result.
Common treatment areas include:
After
After your Radiesse injections, expect some swelling, redness or bruising at the injection sites. These reactions are common and usually resolve within a few days. You can return to most normal activities right away, but avoid extreme exercise, saunas and alcohol for at least 24 hours to minimize inflammation. Apply cold compresses if needed and keep the area clean. Do not apply makeup for the rest of the day.
Results
You will see volume improvement right away, but the more noticeable changes happen over the following weeks as your body begins to build collagen around the injected material. This collagen support helps the area maintain structure and gradually improves your skin’s texture. Follow-up treatments can help maintain the look, especially in patients who naturally break down filler more quickly. We will talk with you about a plan that fits your situation and the way your skin responds over time.
Enhance your results with
combination treatments
Radiesse works well alongside other aesthetic treatments, especially when addressing multiple signs of aging at once. The right combination will depend on your goals, skin condition and treatment areas, which we will evaluate and discuss during your consultation.
- Other Fillers: While Radiesse adds structure and stimulates collagen, hyaluronic acid fillers can be used in areas that require softer, more flexible volume, such as the lips. Combining both allows us to customize results.
- Neuromodulators: Using a neuromodulator like Botox® or Dysport® with Radiesse can address wrinkles caused by muscle movement, especially in the upper face. This pairing treats both dynamic lines and volume loss in a single treatment plan.
- Skin Resurfacing Treatments: Treatments like microneedling, chemical peels or laser resurfacing can enhance skin tone and texture, while Radiesse works deeper to provide volume and structure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Radiesse
How Long Does Radiesse Last?
Most patients see results from Radiesse filler that last 12 to 18 months, though this can vary based on the area treated and how your body metabolizes the product. Areas with more movement may break it down faster, while less active zones tend to retain the results longer. Because Radiesse also stimulates collagen, some benefits may continue even after the filler itself has absorbed.
Can Radiesse Be Dissolved?
Radiesse cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase like hyaluronic acid fillers, which means the results are not reversible with an enzyme. However, calcium hydroxylapatite is a material that can be naturally broken down by your body, and we always prioritize natural-looking results that suit your facial structure. Choosing an experienced injector is important when working with any type of long-lasting injection.
