Radiesse®
Radiesse® is an FDA-approved injectable filler for deep facial wrinkles or contour augmentation of the cheeks or chin. Radiesse results last an average of one year or more, which is considerably longer than other leading fillers. Radiesse immediately provides the volume and lift needed to correct deep wrinkles, acting as a lifting agent underneath your skin.
To find out if you can benefit from Radiesse, call Fiala Aesthetics at 407-339-3222 today and let us arrange a skin consultation for you. Radiesse is designed with safety, durability, and longevity in mind. Radiesse uniquely restores volume and promotes the growth of your body’s own collagen without surgery, downtime, or the risks of standard surgical chin or cheek implants.
Dr. Thomas Fiala likes to offer his patients the newest non-surgical facial contouring fillers that deliver immediate, long-lasting results. Radiesse treatments at Fiala Aesthetics deliver immediate results to restore and reshape signs of facial aging. Call us today to learn more!
What is Radiesse?
Radiesse is an FDA-approved filler product that is made of microspheres of calcium hydroxyapatite, a natural substance found in your bones. These products are used for volume replacement and for deep facial wrinkles; however, they are not recommended for use in the lips.
The material has a long track record of successful use in reconstructive surgery, ear-nose-throat surgery, maxillofacial surgery, dentistry, and urology. Radiesse is slowly reabsorbed. This prolonged degradation makes Radiesse a longer-lasting filler than others, with expected results lasting a year or more. Years of clinical studies have proven that Radiesse has many benefits as a simple and safe procedure that delivers a lasting improvement.
Treatment
On the day of your Radiesse treatment, we will cleanse the injection area(s), and based on your prior input, we will mark the targeted places to be treated, choosing strategic injection points designed to help you achieve the correction you desire. A topical anesthetic may be applied to increase your comfort. Radiesse will then be placed precisely into your tissues in small amounts with a very tiny needle, being careful not to overfill the area.
Radiesse is a simple procedure and you may resume your normal routine immediately although you will be advised to apply ice to the treatment area to minimize swelling. You will also be instructed to avoid sun exposure and manipulation of the treatment area for a few days. Most patients experience at least one year of correction with Radiesse before the product is gradually absorbed by your body and repeat injections are needed to retain your results.
Results
At Fiala Aesthetics Medical Spa, Radiesse is used to reduce unwanted wrinkles, restore facial volume, and stimulate the production of more collagen in your skin. Radiesse is non-invasive and requires no downtime and it is among the best non-surgical treatments available to patients wishing to correct skin flaws associated with aging or to enhance cheek or chin contours.
Dr. Fiala uses Radiesse to treat age-related conditions that include:
- Facial folds and lines
- Reduce lines between your nose and mouth
- Fill in the so-called “smile lines” and “frown lines”
- Restore or augment the natural contours of your cheeks
- Chin augmentation

Candidates for Radiesse should be healthy adults between the age of 18 and 65. The effects of Radiesse can be long-lasting so during your consultation with Dr. Fiala, he will discuss your options and together you can create a treatment plan based on the condition of your skin and your aesthetic goals.
