FAQ

Common questions about Radiesse.

What is Radiesse made from?

It contains calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. This differs from both HA-only filler and the PLLA in Sculptra.

Will I see an immediate change?

Depending on the plan, the gel carrier can provide an early filling effect. Swelling affects that appearance, while the tissue response develops later.

What does diluted Radiesse mean?

Dilution changes the preparation and intended treatment effect. It is a distinct clinical technique, not a promise of a safer or universally better result. Your clinician should explain the specific use.

Can Radiesse be dissolved?

It does not have the same hyaluronidase reversal pathway as HA filler. Managing an unwanted effect can be more complex, which belongs in the decision before treatment.

Is it appropriate for lips or under eyes?

Radiesse is not the routine material for these areas. Product safety and effectiveness there have not been established in the referenced patient information.

How is it different from Sculptra?

They use different materials and have different immediate effects and treatment approaches. The choice should follow the area and intended change rather than a ranking of brands.

Should I mention it before scans or other treatment?

Yes. Tell treating clinicians and imaging staff about previous Radiesse, including where it was placed. Calcium-containing microspheres can be visible on some imaging.

How long does it last?

Persistence and visible benefit vary with the area, preparation and individual response. Maintenance should be decided from review rather than a guaranteed calendar.

What should I share before treatment?

Share medications, allergies, medical conditions and previous procedures, including pregnancy or breastfeeding where relevant. Follow your individual preparation instructions. Do not stop prescribed medication on your own.

What risks should I understand?

Swelling, bruising, lumps and inflammation can occur. Rare vascular complications may damage skin or vision. Unusual severe pain or pale or dusky skin needs urgent assessment; vision or neurological changes require emergency care.

What does treatment cost?

Radiesse starts at $600. We confirm the price and what your plan includes at a complimentary consultation, before you commit.

Who will perform my treatment?

Radiesse is performed by Sonia Vilos, NP and Tina Nguyen at SkinAlchemy. Your booking confirms who treats you, and they agree the plan with you before starting.

Can it be part of a combined plan?

Sometimes different concerns need different tools. The reason for each treatment and the order should be clear. Pairing does not automatically mean the same appointment.

Where can I discuss this in London, Ontario?

SkinAlchemy is in London, Ontario. You can book a complimentary consultation through our booking link and begin with what you have noticed, whether or not you have chosen a treatment.
