Radiesse in Agoura Hills
– What it is
How Radiesse works
Radiesse is an injectable treatment made with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) that can provide structural support while stimulating collagen production over time. At AIVI Aesthetics in Agoura Hills, Radiesse treatments are personalized according to your anatomy, skin quality, degree of volume loss, and aesthetic goals.
The gel carrier is eventually absorbed by the body, while the newly stimulated collagen remains, which is why results can outlast the product itself.
In short: Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) dermal filler. It adds volume immediately at the time of injection and continues stimulating natural collagen production for months afterward. Results typically last 12 to 18 months, up to 2 years in some patients.

– How it compares
Radiesse vs. other biostimulators
| Filler | Material | Immediate volume? | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Radiesse | Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) | Yes | 12–18+ months |
| Sculptra | Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) | No, builds gradually | Up to 2 years |
| Hyaluronic acid fillers | Hyaluronic acid (HA) | Yes | 6–24 months, varies by product |
– What's the difference
Radiesse vs. Sculptra
Radiesse and Sculptra are both biostimulatory injectables, but they are different products. Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), while Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA).
Radiesse can provide immediate structural correction when used in its standard formulation while also stimulating collagen. Sculptra works more gradually and is used primarily for progressive collagen stimulation.
The appropriate option depends on your anatomy, treatment area, degree of volume loss or skin laxity, and treatment goals.
– Skin quality
Hyperdilute Radiesse for Skin Quality
Radiesse can also be diluted or hyperdiluted when the treatment goal is focused more on collagen stimulation and skin quality rather than creating significant volume.
Hyperdilute Radiesse may be considered for selected patients concerned with skin laxity, crepey texture, or age-related changes in areas such as the neck and décolleté. Treatment concentration, amount, and placement are individualized based on the area being treated and the patient’s anatomy.
Some uses of diluted or hyperdilute Radiesse are off-label and are discussed during consultation.

Radiesse FAQs
How much does Radiesse cost?
Cost depends on the treatment area and number of syringes needed, most patients need 1 to 2 syringes per area. Your consultation includes a personalized quote based on your specific goals.
What is Radiesse made of?
Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a water-based gel carrier. CaHA is a mineral-like compound already found naturally in human bones.
How long does Radiesse last?
Some improvement may be visible immediately when Radiesse is used for volume and structural support. Collagen-related changes develop more gradually. Longevity varies based on the treatment area, amount used, injection technique, metabolism, and individual response.
Is Radiesse the same as Sculptra?
No. Both are biostimulatory fillers, but Radiesse provides immediate volume in addition to stimulating collagen, while Sculptra has no immediate volumizing effect and works gradually over a series of sessions.
What areas can Radiesse treat?
Radiesse is FDA-approved for the cheeks, jawline, chin, temples, nasolabial folds, and backs of the hands.
Is Radiesse safe?
Radiesse is FDA-approved with an established safety record. Common side effects are mild and temporary, swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness. Rare risks include nodule formation or vascular complications, which is why treatment should only be performed by a trained, qualified injector.
