Radiesse®
In Mount Pleasant, SC
Boost Collagen and Elastin and Restore Volume Gradually
Radiesse® is a biostimulator made of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. Injected into the tissue, it provides immediate structure while stimulating your body’s own collagen and elastin, resulting in a more youthful appearance over time. Sun exposure accelerates collagen breakdown and can exacerbate signs of aging, especially on the face, neck, and hands.
At Savvy Aesthetics, your medical provider identifies which areas would benefit most from collagen-stimulating treatment, then builds a plan around your skin and your goals. Reach out today to reserve your consultation.
Benefits of Radiesse®

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do results last?
Typically 12 to 15 months, and some patients see benefits last longer as collagen continues to build.
Is treatment painful?
Most patients feel mild pressure or a slight pinch, and numbing options help keep the experience comfortable.
What is the recovery time?
Mild swelling or bruising may occur but usually resolves within a few days.
Can Radiesse® be used on the hands?
Yes. Restoring volume to thin, veiny-looking hands is a common use.
How is Radiesse® different from hyaluronic acid filler?
Hyaluronic acid filler adds volume and hydration. Radiesse® adds structure and also stimulates your body’s own collagen and elastin, so results continue to improve over time.
What does treatment cost?
Cost depends on the areas being treated, and your medical provider will review it in detail at your consultation.
