Radiesse® is a calcium-hydroxylapatite (CaHA) dermal filler that provides immediate lift and natural contouring while stimulating your skin’s own collagen for longer-lasting firmness.
Ideal for cheeks, nasolabial folds, jawline definition and hand rejuvenation, Radiesse delivers visible correction in a short office visit and often lasts longer than standard HA fillers.
LIFT. RESTORE. RENEW.
Radiesse® (CaHA) offers immediate lift plus collagen stimulation for longer-lasting contour and firmness—ideal for cheeks, jawline, nasolabial folds and hand rejuvenation.
Radiesse® does more than add volume — it stimulates the extracellular matrix (ECM), helping restore five core components that create firmer, healthier-looking skin.
Collagen I — Structure: Rebuilds the skin’s framework for improved lift and contour.
Collagen III — Support: Strengthens tissue and resilience for a naturally fuller appearance.
Elastin — Elasticity: Restores skin’s bounce so expressions look smooth and natural.
Proteoglycans — Hydration & Glow: Attracts and holds moisture for plump, luminous skin.
Angiogenesis — Nourishment: Improves microcirculation to feed and revitalize skin over time.

"After meeting her, I felt so calm and confident..."
Dr. Shih is the best! I was so anxious leading up to my appointment but after meeting her, I felt so calm and confident that I went to the right place. She immediately put me at ease, explained my situation and options, and answered all of my questions.
The surgery was a success, and I have my life back! The recovery was quick, I have almost no scarring, and full function back. She is truly gifted and I am so grateful. Her office was really nice, and the staff were lovely. All of the appointments were on time, and did not take a long time. I highly recommend Dr. Shih!
"Exactly what I was hoping for!"
I recently had a breast augmentation with Dr. Shih, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the very first consultation, Dr. Shih's expertise and attention to detail put me at ease.
Dr. Shih and her assistant, Andrea, took the time to understand my goals and provided excellent guidance throughout the process. The surgery went smoothly, and the results are just fantastic—exactly what I was hoping for! Both Dr. Shih and Andrea were incredibly supportive and responsive at every step. They made the entire experience feel personal and caring. I highly recommend Dr. Shih for anyone considering this procedure!
"She changed my life!"
I am so grateful for Dr. Shih - she changed my life! Throughout the whole process from my first consultation, to the surgery, and the follow up care after the surgery, she was so warm, relaxed and reassuring.
I had researched several surgeons in the area, met with four and decided that Dr. Shih was the right fit for me. I could tell during our first meeting that I was in good hands. She took the time to listen to my concerns, answered all of my questions, explained my options and what I could expect. It was so refreshing, especially after my previous experiences with some of the other doctors in the area.

Here are the most common questions we hear about Radiesse®
Radiesse® is a calcium-hydroxylapatite (CaHA) dermal filler that provides immediate volume and lift while stimulating your skin’s own collagen for longer-lasting contour and firmness.
Radiesse fills and supports tissues immediately, and its CaHA microspheres act as a scaffold that encourages collagen production over time—improving skin texture and structure beyond the initial correction.
Common treatment areas include cheeks, nasolabial folds, jawline, chin, and the backs of the hands to restore volume and reduce the appearance of veins and tendons.
Many patients see results that last 12–18 months or longer, depending on the treatment area, product volume, and individual metabolism. Results often improve as collagen builds.
When injected by an experienced, board-supervised provider, Radiesse has a strong safety record. Temporary side effects can include swelling, bruising, or tenderness. Rare complications require prompt assessment by your provider.
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse (CaHA) is not reversible with hyaluronidase. It is a biodegradable product that the body naturally eliminates over time. In some cases, saline can be considered to dilute the product. Providers use conservative placement and dose to enable safe, predictable outcomes; any concerns should be discussed immediately with your clinician.
Most patients tolerate Radiesse well. Expect minor swelling or bruising for a few days; many people return to normal activities the same day or shortly after.
Two to three treatments several months apart is often suggested to optimize results, with less frequent treatments thereafter. Your injector will recommend the right approach depending on your skin quality and age—some areas or goals may need staged treatments or periodic touch-ups to maintain results.
Yes. Radiesse is often combined with neuromodulators (Botox®) or hyaluronic acid fillers to address both volume loss and dynamic lines. Your provider will create a coordinated plan for safe, balanced rejuvenation.
Generally, adults in good health seeking longer-lasting structural support for deeper lines, facial contouring, or hand rejuvenation. A consultation with a board-supervised provider will determine whether Radiesse is right for your anatomy and goals.
