Necks and hands do a lot of talking. Sun, seasons, squinting at screens. Over time, texture can look a bit crepey and veins can feel more noticeable than you’d like. Radiesse gives those spots a much-needed boost. With subtle support now, collagen is able to keep working late behind the scenes.
At ẸWÀ Medical Aesthetics in Calgary, we use Radiesse treatments for facial contouring, as well as neck and hand rejuvenation, often in a hyper-dilute style for better skin quality and a soft, refined finish. Physician-led plans. Clear guidance. Results that fit your life, your taste, and your calendar. If you’re after smoother, calmer, more confident skin where it counts, you’re in the right place.
Radiesse is an injectable dermal filler and biostimulator made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. It provides two good things in one: an immediate soft lift from the gel, plus a signal to freshen up your body's natural collagen production (and support elastin production) over time. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers (HA), which primarily hold water, Radiesse works structurally. For the neck and hands, we often use “hyper-dilute” (mixed for spreadable, feather-light biostimulation) to restore volume and improve texture, crepiness, and firmness without looking bulky or unnatural.
Radiesse fillers stand apart from standard dermal fillers by offering a dual advantage: immediate correction upon injection and a long-term biological upgrade. The gel provides the instant satisfaction of smoother skin, while the CaHA microspheres work quietly in the background to spark your body’s own repair mechanisms.
While widely recognized for its ability to rejuvenate the hands and tighten the neck, Radiesse can be used on many other body parts for various concerns. It’s equally effective for restoring deep facial volume, smoothing nasolabial folds, and defining the jawline. Whether applied to the face or body, it provides much-needed support and collagen stimulation wherever it’s needed.
You’re likely a candidate for Radiesse if you’re noticing:
We’ll review medical history, previous fillers, skincare actives, and timing needs. Most patients are good candidates, but we check for severe allergies or a bleeding disorder.
For patients with severe facial wrinkles, deep nasolabial folds, or deep marionette lines, Radiesse may help alleviate their intense appearance, but it may not be the best course of action for getting rid of them. If we think a different approach will serve you better, we’ll say so—clearly and kindly.
Feathered micro-threads of diluted Radiesse injectable filler encourage collagen across the neck for finer texture, softer bands, and a smoother sweep—think scarf-ready skin without the scarf.
Those horizontal rings from devices and desk time? Strategic micro-placement softens their appearance while supporting the surrounding skin, helping to smooth wrinkles and bring back some of the skin's firmness.
A light veil of Radiesse restores subtle fullness, eases tendon show, and improves skin quality, so hands look rested, hydrated, and well-cared-for. This hand rejuvenation restores lost volume naturally by sparking your body's natural collagen production.
Where skin reads thin, collagen stimulation helps it feel springier. Expect gradual refinement that holds up in daylight. Radiesse helps to restore your skin's health from the inside, leaving your face with a healthier, more youthful appearance.
Undiluted radiesse can be injected into the lower face to provide structure and contour the lower face including chin and jawline.
At your consult, we’ll examine your skin’s tone, thickness, and movement, take baseline photos, and create a step-by-step plan (often in stages for best effect). Prepping for Radiesse injections includes being hydrated, skipping new activities for a few days if we suggest it, and planning a couple of easy days if your schedule is photo-heavy. We’ll review aftercare before you book, so you’re fully prepared for everything before your treatment day even arrives.
We cleanse, mark, and use topical numbing cream (and a small amount of local anaesthetic if helpful) to ensure minimal discomfort. For neck biostimulation, we typically place hyper-dilute Radiesse through a fine cannula in smooth, fanning passes. For the hands, we may combine tiny cannula threads with pinpoint touches to blend. The calcium-based microspheres are placed precisely where needed. Expect us to take a few minutes per area; most visits wrap in under an hour.
For facial contouring, we skilfully inject undiluted radiesse using needles or cannula to define the lower face and jawline.
Mild swelling or pinpoint bruises can appear at the injection site and typically resolve within a few days. Keep the area clean, avoid heavy workouts the first day, and skip the hot tub for 48 hours. For the hands, minimize hard gripping as much as possible the first evening. For the neck, SPF is non-negotiable to protect against environmental factors. We’ll give you straightforward aftercare in writing.
You’ll see an immediate improvement from the gel, followed by boosted collagen and elastin production over the next six to 12 weeks. A second treatment is recommended 6-8 weeks after for best results , then maintain every 12 to 18 months. The finished result looks like you’ve had hydration, sleep, and SPF on repeat, offering long-lasting results.

No , you do not look overfilled! Neck work is typically hyper-dilute for skin quality, not bulk. When we inject Radiesse into the hands, we're going for an elegant, youthful look, not puffiness. Radiesse is placed skilfully and with experience for face contouring,
Expect small bruises or swelling that fades over a few days. Most people return to regular activities right away.
Absolutely. SPF and skincare are the base. We may pair with light laser or RF microneedling on a different day for texture, or neuromodulator for neck bands if helpful. If you have deep wrinkles and folds or heavier volume loss, pairing Radiesse with other topical treatments may benefit you even further.
The gel’s early effect is visible immediately. Since it stimulates collagen production, the benefits of Radiesse injections build for weeks, and long-lasting results may hold 12–18 months, depending on lifestyle and area treated.
We’ll screen for allergies, active infection, recent procedures, or conditions that suggest a different path. If Radiesse isn’t the right fit, we’ll guide you to options that are.
It comes down to chemistry. The calcium hydroxylapatite spheres act as a scaffold. Once injected, they wake up your body's natural collagen production. This biologically addresses skin laxity from the inside out, rather than just filling space, resulting in renewed skin firmness that feels genuinely yours.
Safety is our priority. Side effects are generally mild and localized to the injection site, such as temporary swelling, bruising, mild irritation, or tenderness, which typically resolve within a week. While rare, complications like nodules or vascular events can occur. Because we are a physician-led team, we use strict protocols to ensure minimal discomfort and maximum safety, and are fully equipped to manage any adverse events should they arise.
