Radiesse® Treatment in Vancouver
What Is Radiesse?
Ideal for patients who are unhappy with the way their skin looks on their lower face, jawline, and/or hands, Radiesse® treatment contains a powerful ingredient called calcium hydroxylapatite, also known as CaHA. This injectable aesthetic treatment offers immediate contouring while simultaneously stimulating your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin.
How does Radiesse Work?
Radiesse® dramatically reduces moderate to severe facial wrinkles and skin folds by targeting problematic areas where your skin has lost its elasticity. As the injectable gel is gradually absorbed by your body, it stimulates collagen production for up to one year post-injection, helping you achieve a more youthful and glowing appearance.
How Much Does Radiesse® Cost?
The cost of Radiesse® is similar to Sculptra, another popular non-hyaluronic acid dermal filler available at Skin Matters.
How Long Does It Take to Recover Radiesse®?
The Radiesse® treatment is minimally invasive and requires minimal downtime. Following your procedure, you can leave our clinic and go about your day.
How Long Does Radiesse® Last?
One reason why the Radiesse® treatment for skin folds and wrinkles has become so popular is that patients experience immediate volume restoration and can also anticipate long-lasting collagen stimulation. Results of this FDA-approved dermal filler in Vancouver last a year or more.

How is Radiesse® Injected?
Radiesse® treatment is injected beneath your skin, targeting the specific areas you and your doctor have agreed would benefit most.
Treatment Benefits of Radiesse®
Not only will you see immediate results, but you’ll also notice a significant improvement in your skin as your body responds to the gel and makes more collagen and elastin. Compared to other cosmetic injectables, only one syringe of Radiesse® may be all you need to achieve your desired results. Compared to other injectables that require multiple treatments, Radiesse® treatment can be a cost-effective solution to target wrinkles and skin folds.
Treatment Risks of Radiesse®
Though rare, Radiesse® treatment may cause unwanted side effects. When this injectable is used in the face area, the most common side effects are bruising, redness, swelling, pain, and itching. If you receive Radiesse® treatment to target wrinkles in your hands, you may experience bruising, redness, swelling, pain, itching, nodules or bumps/lumps, difficulty performing activities, loss of sensation, and other local side effects.
How to Prepare for a Radiesse® Treatment at Skin Matters
Be sure to share your list of medications and supplements with your doctor. Before your Radiesse® treatment, you may need to stop taking certain ones to prevent unwanted side effects.
Another way to prepare for Radiesse® in Vancouver is to avoid applying makeup on the day of your appointment. If you have any specific questions, please call our office at 604-323-9588 so we can address them and help you feel ready for your Radiesse® treatment upon entering our clinic.
Radiesse® Aftercare
Following Radiesse® treatment, you should minimize strenuous activity, avoid extensive sun or heat exposure for approximately 24 hours, and be mindful of side effects. Swelling, redness and/or bruising should last only temporarily, so call your doctor if these or other side effects linger. We also recommend applying a cool compress for 10 minutes every hour on the day of treatment and avoiding alcohol for 24 hours. Talk to your doctor about your makeup and skincare routine so he can provide personalized guidance regarding the best practices for cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection.
Radiesse® Recovery Timeline
Your Radiesse® treatment recovery time will be minimal because this innovative and FDA-approved injection uses microspheres that integrate smoothly into your skin.
