-From Volume Loss to Radiant Results
As we age, one of the most noticeable changes in our appearance is the gradual loss of facial volume. Cheeks may begin to look hollow, jawlines lose definition, and fine lines deepen into creases. If you’re looking for a non-surgical way to reverse these signs of aging and restore a youthful, lifted look, Radiesse might be exactly what you need.
At PURE MED SPA Chicago, we specialize in natural-looking, long-lasting rejuvenation—and Radiesse is one of our go-to treatments for clients seeking both instant volume and long-term skin benefits. In this blog, we’ll walk you through what to expect from your first Radiesse injection, explore how it works, and explain why it stands out among other dermal fillers.
What Is Radiesse?
Let’s start with the basics—is Radiesse a filler? Yes, it is! But unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse is a biostimulatory dermal filler. That means it doesn’t just “fill” space; it also stimulates your body to produce more collagen over time.
Radiesse is for use in the face and hands, making it ideal for treating:
Smile lines (nasolabial folds)
Marionette lines
Pre-jowl folds
Chin wrinkles
Volume loss in the cheeks and hands
If you’re noticing sagging, creasing, or deflation in your facial features, a single treatment with Radiesse at PURE MED SPA Chicago can offer immediate lift and long-term improvement.
What Are the Ingredients in Radiesse?
Wondering what makes Radiesse ingredients so effective? The secret lies in its unique composition. Radiesse is made of tiny, smooth calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a water-based gel.
These microspheres are similar to minerals naturally found in your body, which means the treatment is biocompatible and well-tolerated by most patients.
The gel carrier delivers immediate volume
The CaHA particles act as a scaffold that stimulates your body to produce new collagen over time
Eventually, the gel is absorbed, and you’re left with your own collagen giving you a natural lift
This combination of instant and progressive results makes Radiesse a standout filler, especially for those looking for a more structured and longer-lasting option.
From Volume Loss to Vibrancy: Why Choose Radiesse?
As we age, collagen and elastin production slow down, leading to:
Facial hollowing
Sagging skin
Deep folds and wrinkles
Radiesse works by addressing the root cause of these issues: volume depletion and collagen loss.
Here’s how Radiesse helps:
Instant Lift: The gel formula instantly fills wrinkles and restores facial contours
Natural-Looking Results: The gradual collagen stimulation leads to smoother, firmer skin over time
Long-Lasting Effects: Results typically last 12 to 18 months—longer than many hyaluronic acid fillers
Skin Quality Improvement: Patients often report improved skin texture and elasticity
At PURE MED SPA Chicago, we love using Radiesse for clients over 40 looking for a refreshed, youthful glow without looking “overdone.”
What to Expect from Your First Radiesse Injection
If you’ve never had a filler before, it’s natural to feel a bit nervous. But rest assured, PURE MED SPA Chicago makes your comfort and safety a top priority. Here’s a step-by-step guide of what you can expect during your first Radiesse appointment:
Step 1: Personalized Consultation
Our expert aesthetic providers will begin by discussing your goals, assessing your facial structure, and determining if Radiesse is the right fit for you. We’ll also review your medical history and go over the treatment plan.
Step 2: Treatment Planning
Depending on your facial anatomy and volume loss, we’ll map out the exact injection sites. Radiesse is ideal for deeper lines and structural support, so we often target mid-face, jawline, or nasolabial folds.
Step 3: Injection Process
A numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort. Using a fine needle or cannula, Radiesse is injected beneath the skin. The treatment takes about 30 to 45 minutes and is relatively painless.
Step 4: Immediate Results
You’ll see an instant improvement in volume and facial contour right after the injections. Mild swelling or bruising may occur but usually subsides within a few days.
Step 5: Post-Treatment Care
There’s minimal downtime with Radiesse. You may be advised to avoid strenuous activity or alcohol for 24 hours. Ice packs and gentle massage may be recommended if any swelling occurs.
