Radiesse
Luxury Del Mar Aesthetics and Wellness
Radiesse at CūRA means prioritizing both immediate impact and long term results.
Unlike a traditional hyaluronic acid filler, Radiesse mimics connective tissue to provide a firm, sophisticated lift to the lower face and neck. Our provider team is dedicated to ensuring that every Radiesse treatment is an intentional step toward your best self within a luxury environment.
Purpose: To add volume and produce collagen for structural facial support.
Composition: Composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres in a water-based gel.
Downtime: Minimal; some bruising or swelling may occur for a few days.
Longevity: Results are noticeable immediately and can last for several months up to a year.
Radiesse is a unique dermal filler made of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a flexible gel. Once injected, it provides an instant filling effect to address volume loss and deep wrinkles. Over time, the body metabolizes the gel, leaving the microspheres to stimulate collagen production and elastin formation. This process results in a natural-looking structure that is entirely your own.
What is the Radiesse procedure like?
Your Radiesse treatment at CūRA begins with a thorough consultation to address your specific aging concerns.
During the treatment, our provider uses a fine-gauge needle or cannula to precisely add volume to the treated areas. To help you feel comfortable, the filler is often mixed with lidocaine to minimize pain. The entire session takes place in our Del Mar office and typically lasts less than 45 minutes, making it a convenient outpatient procedure.
Radiesse is specifically designed to target the structural signs of aging where the skin has begun to lose its foundation.
Patients love Radiesse because it offers the best of both worlds. You walk out of our office with noticeable improvement, and your appearance continues to improve over several months as you produce collagen and new collagen fibers.
Because it is a thicker gel, Radiesse is excellent for mimicking connective tissue. It stays exactly where it is injected, making it the best choice for high-definition contouring of the jaw and chin.
When used as diluted Radiesse, the technique shifts from filling to skin-thinning prevention. This helps to tighten the skin on the neck, chest, and body, improving overall skin quality and texture.
While Radiesse is frequently used for the cheeks and jawline, its versatility is impressive. Injections can also address the hands, temple area, and even the buttocks for skin smoothing. Please note that Radiesse is typically not used for the lips or the area directly under the eyes.
It is generally ideal for adults with moderate to severe wrinkles or volume loss. It is a great alternative for those who find hyaluronic acid fillers too soft for their goals. During your consultation, we will review your medical history and any medications, such as blood thinners, to ensure a safe treatment.
The recovery process for Radiesse injections is straightforward. You may experience some swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site, which is a temporary and normal response. We suggest avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work immediately, and any redness can usually be covered with a bit of makeup after the first day.
The improvement following a Radiesse treatment is a two-phase journey. The initial volume is visible immediately upon injection of the gel. However, the progress unfolds over the following weeks as your body begins producing collagen. The result is a firmer, more lifted appearance that can last a year or more for many patients.
