Lift, Contour, and Rebuild Collagen Naturally in Slidell, LA
As skin matures, it loses its firm, defined structure due to declining collagen and elastin. This can result in volume loss, sagging, and deeper lines that no amount of moisturizer can fix. Radiesse® and Radiesse® (+) are advanced injectable fillers designed to address these concerns by delivering both immediate volume restoration and long-term collagen stimulation. At Hilton Dermatology + Aesthetics, cosmetic injectable treatments are performed exclusively by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Sophia Mai, ensuring safety, precision, and natural-looking results. Dr. Mai uses Radiesse® in Slidell, LA to lift and sculpt the face, neck, and hands while encouraging the body to produce new collagen for ongoing improvement.
Whether your goal is to smooth wrinkles, define facial contours, or rejuvenate thinning skin, Radiesse® provides a refreshed, youthful look that continues to improve over time.

What Is Radiesse®?
Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, Radiesse® is made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. This unique formulation makes it both a filler and a biostimulator:
This filler is FDA-approved for facial wrinkles and folds, as well as volume loss in the hands, making it one of the most versatile and long-lasting filler options available.
Radiesse® vs. Radiesse® (+): What’s the Difference?
There are two types of Radiesse® fillers, and both share the same collagen-stimulating foundation.
Radiesse®
The original Radiesse® is ideal for restoring structure and definition in areas like the midface, jawline, and hands. It provides firm, durable lift while stimulating collagen growth for long-term results.
Radiesse® (+)
Radiesse® (+) contains the same calcium-based microspheres as the original formula, but with the addition of lidocaine, a numbing agent for enhanced comfort during treatment. It’s equally effective for smoothing deep folds and sculpting areas of the face that benefit from subtle, natural contour.
Both formulations produce immediate, visible volume and help the skin regain elasticity and strength as new collagen forms.
How Radiesse® Works
When this filler is injected beneath the skin, it instantly replenishes lost volume. The calcium microspheres then act as a scaffold, riggering your body’s natural collagen production process. Over the next several months, your skin becomes firmer, thicker, and more elastic—even after the gel carrier is metabolized.
This makes it a dual-action solution:
Common Treatment Areas
Radiesse® is versatile and can be used to address multiple areas of the face and body, including:
Because the filler integrates with your own collagen, results appear smooth and natural—not stiff or overfilled.
Radiesse® vs. Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
While HA fillers (like Juvéderm® and Restylane®) are known for their soft, hydrating properties and reversibility, Radiesse® offers a denser, more structural lift that mimics the firmness of youthful bone and deep tissue support. Key differences include:
- Composition: Radiesse® uses calcium-based microspheres; HA fillers use hyaluronic acid.
- Longevity: Results often last 12–18 months or more, depending on treatment area and metabolism.
- Collagen production: Only Radiesse® actively stimulates collagen for continued improvement after treatment.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Your appointment begins with a personalized consultation. Dr. Sophia Mai evaluates your facial anatomy, discusses your goals, and determines whether Radiesse® or Radiesse® (+) is best suited for you.
The treatment itself takes approximately 30–45 minutes. Using fine needles or a cannula, Dr. Mai injects precise amounts of filler into targeted areas to restore balance and lift. Because Radiesse® (+) contains lidocaine, most patients experience only mild, brief discomfort.
There’s minimal downtime—though mild swelling or bruising may occur, it typically resolves within a few days. You’ll notice instant improvement in contour and smoothness, with continued enhancement over the following months as new collagen develops.
How Long Do Results Last?
This treatment provides one of the longest-lasting outcomes among injectable fillers. While individual results vary, most patients enjoy visible benefits for 12 to 18 months.
As collagen continues to build, many notice ongoing improvement in skin tone, firmness, and elasticity even after the initial filler has been absorbed. Touch-up treatments can help maintain and extend your results for years of youthful radiance.
