RADIESSE®
While many injectable treatments in Kihei add temporary volume, Radiesse is an advanced dermal filler that works differently. It provides an immediate lift and uniquely stimulates your body’s own natural collagen production.
At MediSpa Maui, our team uses this dual-action treatment to rebuild structure for smooth, lasting results. For patients in Maui, Kahului, Kihei, and nearby areas, Radiesse offers a powerful way to achieve natural-looking skin renewal.
What is Radiesse
Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler that uses calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. This unique formulation not only provides immediate volume correction but also stimulates the body’s natural collagen production over time. Radiesse is commonly used to treat wrinkles, folds, and volume loss in the face and hands, helping to restore a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Benefits of Radiesse
- Immediate Results: Radiesse provides instant volume and lift to the treated areas, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and folds.
- Long-Lasting Effects: The CaHA microspheres in Radiesse stimulate collagen production, providing sustained results that can last up to 18 months or more.
- Natural Appearance: Radiesse’s unique formulation integrates smoothly with your skin, ensuring natural-looking results that enhance your facial features.
- Versatile Applications: Radiesse can be used to treat a variety of areas, including the cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, jawline, and hands.
- Minimally Invasive: Radiesse treatments are non-surgical and involve minimal downtime, allowing you to quickly resume your daily activities.
Am I a Candidate for Radiesse?
Finding the right filler procedures starts with understanding your specific goals. Radiesse is a preferred choice for many patients seeking structural volume and long-term collagen enhancement. You may be an ideal candidate for Radiesse if you:
- Are seeking to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds
- Want to restore volume in the cheeks or define the contour of your jawline
- Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the outcome
- Want a long-lasting treatment, as results often last a year or more
- Do not have a history of severe allergies or an allergy to lidocaine
The best way to determine your candidacy is to schedule a consultation with our expert team for a personal assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Radiesse vs. hyaluronic acid fillers?
The primary difference lies in their composition and mechanism. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, like Juvéderm or Restylane, are gels that add volume by binding to water. Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite filler that provides immediate volume and then stimulates your body’s own collagen production for a longer-lasting effect.
How long does Radiesse last?
Radiesse is known for its durability. Because it stimulates the production of new collagen, many patients enjoy their results for 12 to 18 months, which is often longer than with standard HA fillers.
Is the Radiesse procedure painful?
The treatment is generally well-tolerated. Radiesse is formulated with lidocaine, an anesthetic, to minimize discomfort during the injection process. Most patients report only a minor pinching sensation.
Can Radiesse be reversed or dissolved?
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse cannot be dissolved with an enzyme. This is why it is crucial to select a highly qualified Radiesse specialist in Maui who has a comprehensive understanding of the product and facial anatomy.
What are the potential side effects of Radiesse?
Like any injectable treatment, Radiesse can have temporary side effects. The most common side effects are mild swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection site, which typically subside within a few days.
What other procedures can be combined with Radiesse?
Radiesse is often part of a comprehensive treatment plan. It can be combined with neuromodulators, such as Botox, to address dynamic wrinkles, or with laser resurfacing to enhance skin texture and tone.
