What Is RADIESSE?
Thanks to advances in aesthetic treatments, you now have more options than ever when it comes to dermal fillers. One popular dermal filler treatment offered at Iteld Plastic Surgery is RADIESSE, an effective solution for individuals who want to address mild and moderate wrinkles on the face or hands. Patients who don't have a lot of time for frequent touch-ups appreciate the lasting results (over a year in many cases) of RADIESSE. With microspheres of calcium hydroxyapatite in a water-based gel, RADIESSE fills and smoothes the appearance of your face without surgery. RADIESSE is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to effectively and safely volumize your facial features. It can also be used in tandem with other cosmetic treatments for a custom procedure plan that restores your skin. To learn more about how RADIESSE dermal fillers can help you attain a younger, more confident look, reach out to Iteld Plastic Surgery in Chicago, IL and schedule a skin care consultation with Dr. Lawrence Iteld and our talented team of providers.
How Does RADIESSE Work?
RADIESSE injections are performed in our office's private treatment rooms and generally take 30 – 60 minutes. To begin the treatment, you will lie back comfortably while the areas of injection are cleaned and marked. Most patients feel only mild discomfort throughout their treatment at the initial injection, but if preferred, a local anesthetic can be used on the treatment sites. The RADIESSE dose, chosen at your consultation, will be placed in a fine syringe. The marked injection sites will help guide the injector to carefully administer RADIESSE into the face. As soon as the treatment is done, a cold compress will be held to the treated areas to help minimize swelling and bruising.
What Are the Benefits of Radiesse?
At Iteld Plastic Surgery in Chicago, IL, we meet with many patients who are interested in the skin rejuvenating effects of different cosmetic injectables but aren't interested in the maintenance required to keep up their results. For our patients who want longer-lasting injections, RADIESSE has a number of benefits to offer, including:
- Smooth and natural-looking outcomes
- Smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles
- Outcomes can last a year or longer
- Enhancing your self-confidence

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Which areas can Radiesse treat?
We often use Radiesse in areas like the cheeks, nasolabial folds (the lines running from your nose to the corners of your mouth), marionette lines, jawline, and even hands. It’s great when you want more structural support and lift — not just filling lines.
Am I a good candidate for Radiesse?
If you’re in good health and looking to address sagging, volume loss, or deeper lines, Radiesse may be an excellent option. During your consultation, we’ll look at your skin quality, bone structure, anatomy, and your aesthetic goals to determine if it’s the right fit for you.
When will I see results?
You’ll often see an immediate improvement in volume and contour right after your treatment. During the following weeks and months, Radiesse continues to stimulate collagen, making your results even better and more natural over time.
How long do results last?
Results typically last one to two years, though this varies by individual (skin quality, metabolism, lifestyle) and by the area treated. With proper care and occasional touch-ups, you can maintain beautiful, long-lasting effects.
What should I expect for recovery?
Downtime is minimal. You might experience some swelling, redness, tenderness, or mild bruising for a few days. Most people return to their normal routine right away. We’ll provide you with aftercare tips to help the area settle smoothly.
Are there any side effects or risks?
In most cases, side effects are mild — redness, bruising, swelling, or tenderness in the injection sites. More serious complications are rare, especially when the treatment is done by our experienced injector who understands anatomy.
Can Radiesse be combined with other treatments?
Yes! Radiesse pairs beautifully with other modalities, like neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Daxxify), other fillers, or even laser and skin-tightening treatments, depending on your goals. During your consultation, we can map out a customized plan.
