If you are looking for an ideal dermal filler to improve your laugh lines and marionette lines and plump up your facial features, we can offer you Radiesse. At Snyder Plastic Surgery, these injections rejuvenate your facial features while maintaining your ability to make happy facial expressions.
Understanding Radiesse®
As a popular injectable filler, Radiesse is well-known for its smooth calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres suspended in an aqueous gel, which remains soft and malleable long after injection. The main ingredient in Radiesse (hyaluronic acid) is naturally found within our bodies and typically does not cause any allergic reaction. This is great news for patients who have had reactions to other fillers in the past.

Candidacy for Radiesse®
Ideal candidates are typically adults who are in good general health and looking for long-lasting results. Those with significant skin laxity, autoimmune disorders, or a history of severe allergies may need to consider alternative treatments. Radiesse is ideal for individuals seeking to address:
- Moderate to severe facial wrinkles
- Nasolabial folds
- Marionette lines
- Volume loss in areas like the cheeks and hands
The Science Behind Radiesse®
Radiesse is a unique dermal filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. The CaHA microspheres provide immediate volume and correction while stimulating the body’s natural collagen production over time. The body gradually metabolizes the microspheres, leaving behind newly formed collagen that helps maintain the volumizing effects.

Radiesse® Step-by-Step
Before
To develop a tailored treatment plan, Dr. Snyder will assess your facial structure, skin quality, and overall health. Pre-treatment instructions will be provided, including guidelines on avoiding blood-thinning medications and supplements that could increase the risk of bruising or swelling. This preparation ensures optimal results and minimizes the risk of complications.
During
Radiesse is a quick procedure normally completed within 30 – 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. The face is thoroughly cleansed and then marked with ink so that Dr. Snyder can conduct the injections with precision. A numbing cream is usually applied before the injection occurs. The gel is delivered using a fine needle into pockets just underneath the skin until the right volume is achieved.
After
After treatment, there may be redness, swelling, and even bruising around the injection sites, but these go away after several hours. Patients will be able to resume their normal routine, although strenuous exercise should be limited for the first 24 hours. Patients will see their results immediately, which will continue to improve because Radiesse stimulates natural collagen growth, an agent for healthy skin.
