Aging is often an uneasy topic to discuss. Some people may feel uncomfortable discussing their age alongside their appearance. If you are bothered by your aging lines, it may be time to consider a rejuvenation. Radiesse® is a dermal filler that can revitalize the skin so that your appearance doesn’t have to reflect your age.
Located in Chicago, Illinois, Old Town Medspa is led by Drs. Shazel and Nael Gharbi. Both are board-certified in internal medicine and have completed advanced training in laser, light, and radiofrequency technologies. They are also certified in dermal filler training with the International Association of Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine.
What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse is a dermal filler injected into the skin to help reduce moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and nasolabial folds. Radiesse can help add volume to the skin on your face and hands.
How Does Radiesse Work?
Radiesse immediately restores volume to the skin upon injection with a fine needle. Radiesse is comprised of its main component, calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres. These microspheres help add volume to your skin upon injection and continue to do so over time, making your skin look refreshed and youthful.
Radiesse continuously supports your body’s collagen production, the main protein in the skin’s structure. Based on the individual’s skin type, among other factors, the treatment’s results will determine how long they last. Typically, results may last up to a year or longer.

Is Radiesse Right For Me?
Radiesse could be the right treatment for you if you are seeking to erase any aging lines or nasolabial folds. If you have any allergies, bleeding disorders, are currently taking any medications, or are pregnant, you should inform our medical staff prior to treatment. These factors may determine if Radiesse is right for you.
Your age doesn’t have to reflect in your skin. If you are affected by wrinkles or folds, it may be time to consider a solution. Radiesse may help you look younger while feeling comfortable with how you look.
What Should You Not Do After a Radiesse Injection?
Following dermal filler injections, there are a few things to consider regarding healing and recovery. You should make sure you avoid any strenuous exercise or consumption of alcohol for a few days after your treatment to allow your facial injections to rest properly where they are needed. This includes avoiding facial massage, which can disperse the injection gel and reduce its effectiveness. In addition, you should also avoid certain activities such as waxing, sunbathing, and using hot tubs. If you notice a lump of Radiesse beneath the skin, it is okay to massage it out to help it incorporate evenly into the treatment area.
How Long Does It Take for Radiesse To Settle In?
After you leave Old Town MedSpa, you will notice immediate changes in your skin. However, the full results will be visible over several weeks as Radiesse settles into the skin and smooths the areas of concern. After the injections have settled and you see the final results, you can enjoy them for several months when compared to other dermal fillers available on the market today.
Do You See Immediate Results With Radiesse?
Yes! After your appointment, you will see the changes, though they improve with time as the gel injectable settles into the skin, including the fine lines and wrinkles targeted during treatment.
Can Radiesse Lift Cheeks?
Some of our patients who visit our office use Radiesse injections to recontour specific areas of the face, including the cheeks and cheekbones. When administered strategically by our board-certified doctors at Old Town MedSpa, this treatment can help many patients achieve results similar to a mild cheek lift. Knowing where to inject the filler and how much to use is vital to getting the changes you desire while ensuring a natural finished look.
Is Radiesse Good for Jowls?
If used correctly, Radiesse can reduce the appearance of the jowls. This is done by using injectables in the lower face and along the jawline to add volume, which in turn creates the illusion of reduced jowls. If you have extensive skin laxity that has caused very noticeable jowls, Radiesse alone may not deliver the results you truly desire. Severe skin laxity is often best addressed with plastic surgery techniques rather than cosmetic injectables, and our team can refer you to a professional if this would be a better fit for your unique needs.
How Long Will Radiesse Last?
Most of our patients who undergo Radiesse injections will enjoy the results for many months. Once the injectable is absorbed into the body, it is time for another injection appointment to maintain the results and slow the aging process over time.
