Radiesse San Francisco & Marin County

If you’ve been searching for a highly effective, non-surgical solution to facial fine lines and age-related wrinkles, Radiesse may be an ideal solution for you.

Age on Your Own Terms with Radiesse Volumizing Filler

As we age, fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss can form, but surgery isn’t the only solution. Radiesse is a non-surgical injectable that restores volume and smooths wrinkles by stimulating collagen production. It’s an effective, no-downtime way to rejuvenate your appearance and maintain a youthful glow. Schedule your consultation at Hayes Valley Medical Esthetics today to learn more about Radiesse in San Francisco.

How Does Radiesse Work?

Radiesse is an injectable dermal filler that creates results by physically restoring lost facial volume, plumping the skin to restore a more youthful sense of facial contour while also effectively smoothing over fine lines and wrinkles in the process.

Beyond providing immediate volume, Radiesse stimulates the body’s natural collagen production. The ingredients interact with the skin tissue, prompting the formation of new collagen over time. This long lasting process boosts skin elasticity and thickness.

Our patients frequently refer to Radiesse as a “lunch break treatment,” as it takes less than a full hour to complete in most cases. Beyond a bit of redness and tenderness at the treatment site, you’ll be able to get back to your normal activities without delay!

Benefits of Radiesse

Radiesse immediately replenishes lost facial volume while also stimulating your body’s natural collagen production for naturalistic, long-lasting results that leave your skin looking and feeling more youthful and nourished.
The treatment delivers smooth, natural-looking results that typically last 12 to 18 months. Other hyaluronic acid-based injectables (such as Restylane or Juvéderm) usually require a “maintenance appointment” after six to nine months.
Over time, your body will absorb and metabolize the Radiesse gel, leaving behind your own natural collagen.
Radiesse is known for providing proven results with an impressively high level of patient satisfaction.
It is FDA-approved for mixing with lidocaine, an anesthetic that significantly enhances your comfort and ensures that your experience is as pleasant as possible.

Am I a Good Candidate for Radiesse?

Radiesse is ideal for individuals who want to address volume loss and facial wrinkles without surgery. You may be a good candidate for Radiesse in Marin County if you:

Are over 18 years old
Have moderate to severe facial wrinkles or volume loss
Desire longer-lasting results, typically lasting up to a year or more
Are in good overall health

Radiesse Treatment

Radiesse treatment starts with a personalized consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals and determine the best areas for treatment. After the assessment, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. Using a fine needle, the Radiesse filler is carefully injected into targeted areas such as the cheeks, jawline, or hands. The procedure typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, with no downtime required, allowing you to get back to your routine right after the session.

Recovery & Results

Post-treatment, you may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which usually subside within a few days. Radiesse offers immediate volume restoration, with results continuing to improve as collagen production is stimulated. Final results are typically visible within 1 to 2 weeks and can last between 12 to 18 months, depending on individual factors and treatment areas. To maintain optimal results, follow-up treatments may be recommended.

Radiesse for the Hands

In addition to providing patients with an exciting level of non-surgical facial rejuvenation, Radiesse is the only dermal filler proven to immediately restore volume loss in the back of hands for smooth, natural-looking results that won’t give away your age. Radiesse can enhance the appearance of your hands by:

Restoring lost volume (lost volume can cause your hands to look unnecessarily aged)
Minimizing the visibility of veins and tendons, as volume loss can make tendons more obvious and veins more visible
Providing a smooth and natural-looking result
