Radiesse®

Rebuild What Time Took Away—Naturally

Looking for a filler that does more than just temporarily smooth lines? At Duluth Med Spa, Radiesse is one of our favorite solutions for clients who want a subtle lift and lasting firmness. Whether you’re visiting us in Duluth, MN, or Superior, WI, our expert team personalizes every Radiesse treatment to help you feel refreshed, confident, and beautifully you.

What Can Radiesse Treat?

Radiesse is especially effective for moderate to severe volume loss and can address a range of concerns, including:

  • Deep smile lines (nasolabial folds)
  • Marionette lines (lines from corners of the mouth to chin)
  • Chin and jawline definition
  • Pre-jowl sagging
  • Volume loss in cheeks and temples
  • Aging hands with visible tendons or veins
  • Buttocks (skin tightening and contouring)
  • Thighs, hips, and other areas with crepey or lax skin

 

This advanced, FDA-approved treatment doesn’t just restore volume; it also stimulates your skin’s own natural collagen production for results that evolve and improve over time. 

How It Works

Radiesse is a biostimulator, meaning it does more than just fill. It works in a multi-phase process to deliver both immediate and long-term results:

  1. Instant Volume & Lift
    Right after injection, the smooth gel provides a subtle lift and restores volume in areas that need support. 
  2. Collagen Activation Begins
    Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres get to work beneath the skin’s surface, stimulating your body’s natural collagen production.
  3. Gel Absorbs, Collagen Remains
    As the gel gradually dissolves over time, the new collagen your body has built takes its place, leaving your skin firmer, smoother, and more resilient.

 

The Result:
Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers that simply fade over time, Radiesse helps your skin rebuild itself. The improvements continue to develop naturally for months—and the benefits last well beyond the initial treatment.

The benefits of

Radiesse

Radiesse isn’t just about smoothing wrinkles—it’s about restoring youthful architecture and firmness. Here’s what sets it apart:

Biostimulatory Power

Rather than just filling lines, Radiesse stimulates collagen growth for natural improvement in skin tone, firmness, and elasticity.

Immediate Results, No Puffiness

See subtle lift and structure right away—without the “overfilled” look. It blends beautifully with your natural features.

Targets Hard-to-Treat Areas

From softening deep smile lines to firming crepey skin on the thighs or hands, Radiesse delivers noticeable results where other fillers fall short.

Long-Lasting Improvements

Results can last up to 12–18 months, and in some cases, even longer. Because your body is doing the work, results are uniquely yours.

Quick Treatment, Minimal Downtime

Most appointments take under an hour, with little to no downtime. It’s a great option for those with busy schedules.

Customizable for Face & Body

Radiesse adapts to your needs, whether you’re treating fine facial features or broader areas like the buttocks or thighs.

The Radiesse Experience: What To Expect

Before Your Appointment

Your visit begins with a one-on-one consultation at either our Duluth, MN, or Superior, WI, location. Our skilled providers will assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and recommend a personalized treatment plan. To reduce the risk of bruising, avoid alcohol and blood thinners 24–48 hours prior.

During the Treatment

Radiesse is injected using a fine needle or cannula, depending on the area being treated. Each session typically takes 30–45 minutes. A built-in anesthetic (lidocaine) helps minimize discomfort, and most clients describe the procedure as very tolerable.

Aftercare & Recovery

You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site, which usually resolves within a few days. Most clients resume daily activities immediately, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours.

Results Timeline

You’ll notice immediate improvement in volume and contour, with continued enhancement as collagen production increases. Full results are typically seen within 4–6 weeks, and many clients see results lasting over a year. Maintenance treatments can be scheduled annually or as needed.

Who’s a Good Fit for Radiesse?

Radiesse is well-suited for adults who want to restore volume, improve definition, or soften deeper wrinkles, without undergoing surgery. You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Are seeing signs of facial or hand aging
  • Prefer longer-lasting results from a single treatment
  • Are in good overall health
  • Are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or dealing with certain medical conditions

 

A consultation with our expert team in Duluth or Superior ensures the treatment is safe and right for you.

Radiesse FAQs

Is Radiesse safe for all skin types?

Yes, Radiesse is safe for all skin tones and types when performed by a trained professional. During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history to ensure Radiesse is a good fit.

Can I combine Radiesse with other treatments?

Definitely. Radiesse works beautifully alongside neurotoxins like Botox® or skin treatments like microneedling. We often recommend a combination approach for full-face rejuvenation.

Will I look unnatural or overdone?

Not at Duluth Med Spa. Our approach is always customized and conservative, designed to enhance, not change, your natural features.

How often will I need Radiesse?

Most clients need touch-ups about once every 12–18 months. Because it stimulates collagen, your skin may continue to improve even after the product has metabolized.

Is there a risk of an allergic reaction?

Radiesse is biocompatible and does not require allergy testing beforehand. However, we’ll always review your medical history to ensure it’s safe for you.

What makes Radiesse different from other fillers?

Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse doesn’t just fill—it rebuilds. It’s particularly effective in areas that need structure and long-term support.
