Frequently Asked Questions
Cost depends on the number of syringes used and the areas treated. Your provider will confirm pricing during your consultation after reviewing your goals and recommending a treatment plan.
Radiesse is made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), not hyaluronic acid. Unlike HA fillers, it cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase. The key difference is its dual mechanism: Radiesse provides immediate volume and also stimulates your body’s collagen production, which means results can continue improving after the initial treatment and typically last longer than standard HA options.

Most patients see results lasting 12-18 months. Longevity varies by treatment area, the amount of product used, and individual metabolism. The collagen stimulation effect means skin quality may continue improving beyond the initial volumizing result.
Hyperdilute Radiesse is a technique where the product is mixed with saline and lidocaine to create a thinner solution that can be spread across larger areas of the face, neck, or chest. Rather than adding targeted volume, this approach focuses on overall skin quality improvement and collagen stimulation across a broader treatment area. Your provider will recommend whether standard or hyperdilute Radiesse is appropriate for your goals.
Yes. Radiesse is commonly combined with neurotoxins like Botox or Dysport, or used alongside other fillers to address different areas of the face. Your provider will recommend a plan based on your areas of concern. Learn more about Botox in Charleston, SC.
