How much does RADIESSE cost?
The cost of RADIESSE will depend on how much is needed to match your desired outcome. In your initial consultation at our practice, your injector will ask about your concerns and goals, and then they can create your personalized treatment plan. After that is complete, they will discuss your estimated costs.

How does RADIESSE compare to other fillers?
Fillers all have different properties and formulas to fit various issues. Common filler ingredients are hyaluronic acid (HA), calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHa), poly-L-lactic acid, and PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate). RADIESSE uses calcium-based microspheres, which are similar to hyaluronic acid dermal fillers in the way it helps to stimulate collagen production. In your initial consult, we will explain the various options and evaluate your facial volume, laxity, and tone to help you decide which filler will address your concerns.

Are RADIESSE injections painful?
Typically, patients don't need any form of numbing prior to their injection treatment. However, a local anesthetic can be applied to make you feel more comfortable. Many patients only feel minor and brief discomfort during the actual injections.

What are the side effects of RADIESSE?
Treatments with RADIESSE rarely produce serious side effects if performed by an experienced injector, like the ones at Mountain Med Spa. In your initial consultation, tell your injector about any medications you are taking and any allergies to avoid a reaction. Following your injection, you may experience mild redness, bruising, itching, or numbness. These side effects are temporary and generally disappear within a few days.

What other procedures can I combine with RADIESSE?
RADIESSE injections can be performed in combination with other injectable treatments to help achieve your ideal results. Some patients inject wrinkle fillers, like RADIESSE, along with BOTOX® or other muscle relaxants to create a refreshed appearance. Speak to your injector when they are creating your treatment plan to find out about other procedures that can be combined with RADIESSE injections.
