Radiesse® is composed of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel formula. CaHA is a substance naturally found in the body and has a long history of medical use. Once injected, the CaHA particles create structural support for immediate results while acting as a framework that encourages the skin to rebuild more collagen, smoothing moderate to severe wrinkles and adding volume. This dual action makes Radiesse® especially effective for addressing deeper facial volume loss and changes in skin firmness that occur with aging. Its thick formula works especially well for men’s thicker skin and facial tissues.
Radiesse® differs from traditional hyaluronic acid fillers by working as a biostimulatory treatment that strengthens the skin over time. This unique injectable targets the root causes of age-related volume loss and stimulates the body’s natural collagen production (biostimulation) for long-lasting and natural-looking results. It is FDA-approved for moderate to severe facial wrinkles, including nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and early jowling, and approved to improve skin texture and wrinkle development in the hands.
In men, Radiesse® is frequently chosen to reinforce facial contours in the mid-face and lower face, sharpen the jawline, and restore mid-face volume without creating a soft or overfilled appearance. The result is a more refreshed, structured look that maintains masculine definition.
While many patients can benefit from Radiesse® injectable filler, a consultation at our office is required to determine whether Radiesse® is appropriate for your aesthetic goals. Dr. Janiga or one of her associates will evaluate facial anatomy, skin quality, and areas of volume loss, while also reviewing your medical history to ensure safety. Patients may be advised to avoid certain supplements or blood-thinning medications that can increase bruising before treatment.
Treatment begins with the application of a topical numbing agent to enhance comfort. Radiesse® is then carefully injected beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula to restore volume and improve contour in targeted areas. Discomfort is generally mild, and lidocaine may be added to further improve tolerance. Most appointments are completed efficiently with minimal interruption to daily routines.
Recovery after Radiesse® injections is typically straightforward with minimal downtime. Mild redness and minor swelling may occur in the treatment areas and usually resolve within a few days. Bruising is possible and can last up to a week or more. Ice packs can be applied to the swollen areas to reduce swelling and alleviate discomfort. Patients are advised to avoid picking at or putting pressure on treated areas and should limit vigorous exercise for the first 48 hours as the filler settles. All other normal activities can be resumed immediately after treatment.
Men often notice immediate volume improvement following treatment, with continuing improvements in skin texture, elasticity, and firmness as new collagen fibers develop. Final results take a few weeks to develop, but last up to 12 months in most men. A healthy lifestyle and good skincare routine will support your body’s own collagen production for optimal results.

Wonderful experience!!! Everyone is always helpful and polite. Always willing to work with rescheduling if needed. Love Jennifer, great bedside manner. Always looking for new ways to help with issues that arise.
My experience with Dr. Janiga and his office, has been excellent in every way. From office visits to surgery, post-op, scheduling. It’s all been absolutely professional and worth every penny.
Dr. Jen is the best! I have been going to her office for 6 years now and can’t see myself going to anyone else.
Highly recommend the nurse practitioner Charlotte for all your skin care needs! I had never had Botox before so I was a little nervous about it. She made me feel comfortable and did an excellent job! I went back for a touch up after the first time I got it and she was able to fix exactly what was bothering me! Excited to keep seeing her 🙂
