Frequently asked questions
What is Radiesse approved to treat?
RADIESSE and RADIESSE (+) are FDA-approved to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as folds beside the nose. RADIESSE also has a separate approval to correct volume loss in the backs of the hands. Confirm the product and area available with Ava.
How does Radiesse differ from hyaluronic acid filler?
Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres in a gel. It adds volume and supports collagen production over time. Its material and treatment choices differ from those of hyaluronic acid fillers such as RHA.
Will I see results immediately?
Volume correction can be visible soon after treatment, while swelling may affect the early appearance. Collagen-related changes develop over time. Your clinician can explain when to assess your result and plan follow-up.
Can I have Radiesse in my lips?
Radiesse is not an established lip-filler treatment. Its patient guide says lip safety and effectiveness have not been established. Discuss a product specifically intended for your chosen area.
What should I allow for recovery?
Bruising, swelling, redness or tenderness can occur. Follow your aftercare guidance. Seek immediate care for vision changes, unusual pain or skin turning pale during or shortly after injections.
What will my visit cost?
Ask Ava for the total price for your area, product and amount, and confirm the full visit length. Hand treatment or a different Radiesse formulation should be confirmed as its own appointment choice.
