Lift, Contour, Rejuvenate: Instant Results That Keep Building
Aging isn’t just about lines, it’s about lost structure. As collagen declines, cheeks flatten, the jawline softens, and skin begins to lose its lift. Radiesse is a dual-action filler that restores volume the moment it’s placed, then stimulates your body’s own collagen to keep improving your skin in the months that follow. At Luxe Medical Aesthetics in Katy, TX, we use Radiesse to sculpt, support, and refresh your features for a naturally lifted look that lasts. If you want visible definition now and lasting rejuvenation over time, Radiesse delivers both.
What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse is an FDA-approved, non-surgical injectable filler designed to smooth moderate to severe lines and folds, restore lost volume, and enhance facial contours. It is made of tiny calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. The gel provides immediate lift and fullness, while the microspheres act as a scaffold that encourages your skin to build new collagen around them.
This is what sets Radiesse apart from traditional hyaluronic acid fillers. It doesn’t just fill, it supports and stimulates. The result is a firmer, more defined look that develops naturally and gradually, and typically lasts a year or more.
What Can Radiesse Treat?
Radiesse is versatile and can address a range of aesthetic concerns, including:
Softens deeper folds around the nose, mouth, and chin by replacing lost volume and supporting the surrounding tissue.
Restores lift and projection to the midface for a fuller, more youthful contour.
Sharpens and balances the jawline for a more sculpted, defined profile.
Adds structure to a receding or weak chin to improve overall facial harmony.
Provides support along the lower face to reduce the look of laxity and restore definition.
Smooths the look of prominent veins and tendons by replenishing volume on the back of the hands.
How Radiesse Works
Radiesse works in two ways at once. First, the gel carrier delivers immediate volume and lift, so you can see a difference right away. Over the following weeks, the gel is gradually absorbed by the body, while the calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres remain in place and signal your skin to produce new collagen.
That new collagen gradually replaces the gel, helping maintain your improved contour and boosting firmness and skin quality. The microspheres themselves are biocompatible and are naturally broken down by the body over time.

Radiesse Treatment Process: What To Expect
Before Your Treatment
Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation at Luxe Medical Aesthetics. Our expert providers will assess your facial structure, discuss your goals, and design a treatment plan tailored to your unique features. You’ll also receive pre-treatment instructions, such as avoiding blood-thinning medications and supplements to help minimize bruising.
During Your Treatment
Radiesse is placed into targeted areas using a fine needle or cannula. The formula includes lidocaine, and a topical numbing agent may be used, so most patients find the experience comfortable. The appointment is typically quick, and you’ll see your lifted result right away.
After Your Treatment
Mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites is common and usually resolves within a few days. There’s no significant downtime, so you can return to your day right away. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and heavy pressure on the treated areas for the first 24 to 48 hours, and following the aftercare instructions your provider gives you.
Results Timeline
You’ll notice a visible improvement immediately after treatment. Some swelling is normal, so your final result will be clearer once it settles, usually within one to two weeks. Over the following weeks and months, collagen stimulation continues to refine firmness and support. Results typically last 12 to 18 months, and maintenance appointments can help you keep your results looking their best.

FAQ
Question
Answer
Question
How long does Radiesse last?
Answer
Most patients enjoy results for 12 to 18 months, depending on the treatment area, your metabolism, and your lifestyle.
Question
How is Radiesse different from other dermal fillers?
Answer
Traditional hyaluronic acid fillers add volume by attracting water. Radiesse uses calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres to provide immediate lift while stimulating your own collagen production, which makes it especially effective for structure, contouring, and deeper folds.
Question
Is Radiesse safe?
Answer
Yes. Radiesse is FDA-approved and has been widely studied and used for many years. It is made of calcium hydroxylapatite, a substance naturally found in the body, and is broken down and absorbed over time. Your provider will review your health history and go over any risks before treatment.
Question
Does Radiesse hurt?
Answer
Discomfort is minimal. Radiesse contains lidocaine, and a topical numbing agent can be applied for added comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure.
Question
When will I see results?
Answer
Right away. You’ll see an immediate lift, with your final result clearer once initial swelling settles in one to two weeks.
Question
Is there downtime?
Answer
Very little. Some patients experience mild swelling or bruising, which typically fades within a few days, and you can generally return to normal activities right away.
Question
Can Radiesse be combined with other treatments?
Answer
Absolutely. Radiesse pairs beautifully with neurotoxins like Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®, hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra®, microneedling, and laser treatments for a complete, customized rejuvenation plan.
Question
How much does Radiesse cost?
Answer
The cost depends on how much product is needed to reach your goals. We’ll provide a personalized quote during your consultation, and ask about our financing options and monthly specials.
