Radiesse® is a popular dermal filler used to restore lost facial volume and smooth deeper wrinkles that develop with age. As collagen levels decline over time, the skin can begin to look thinner and less supported, leading to folds, hollow areas, and facial contour changes. Radiesse helps replenish volume beneath the skin while also stimulating the body’s natural collagen production for longer-lasting rejuvenation.
At Jaibaji Plastic Surgery, facial rejuvenation treatments are carefully tailored to each patient’s needs. Dr. Moneer Jaibaji has extensive training in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery and has helped many patients restore youthful facial contours with minimally invasive treatments. Patients from Coronado and throughout San Diego trust his careful approach to facial aesthetics and commitment to natural-looking results.
What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse is a dermal filler made from calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. When injected beneath the skin, the filler provides immediate volume while also stimulating collagen production through a process known as collagenesis.
This dual action provides both instant improvement and gradual skin support as new collagen forms over time.
Radiesse is commonly used to treat:
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines around the mouth
- Wrinkles surrounding the mouth area
- Sunken or hollow cheeks
- Under-eye hollows or shadowing
By restoring volume and improving facial contours, Radiesse can create a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Who Is a Candidate for Radiesse?
Radiesse is typically recommended for healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 65 who want to address moderate to deeper facial wrinkles or volume loss.
Patients may benefit from Radiesse if they notice:
- Deep facial folds developing around the mouth
- Loss of fullness in the cheeks
- Facial hollowing that creates a tired appearance
- Changes in skin structure caused by collagen loss
During a consultation, Dr. Jaibaji will carefully examine your facial features and skin quality to determine whether Radiesse is the most appropriate treatment for your aesthetic goals.

The Radiesse Treatment Process
Radiesse treatments are performed in-office and usually take only a short amount of time to complete.
Before treatment begins, the skin is cleansed and the targeted treatment areas are identified. Radiesse is then carefully injected beneath the skin in areas that need additional support or volume.
Once injected, the filler:
- Immediately restores volume to the treated area
- Softens lines and contour depressions
- Stimulates the body’s natural collagen production
Because of this collagen stimulation, improvements can continue to develop gradually over time.
Many patients notice visible improvement right away, with results that may last up to one year depending on the treatment area and individual factors.
Recovery After Radiesse Injections
Radiesse requires little to no downtime, making it a convenient option for many patients.
Some temporary side effects may occur at the injection sites, including:
- Mild swelling
- Bruising
- Redness or tenderness
These effects are typically short-lived, and most patients are able to return to their normal daily activities immediately following treatment.
Alternative Facial Rejuvenation Options
In some cases, other treatments may also be considered depending on the type of wrinkles being addressed.
For example:
- Botox® or Dysport® may be used to relax facial muscles that cause wrinkles on the forehead or around the eyes.
- Other dermal fillers may be used to restore facial volume in different areas of the face.
- Surgical procedures, such as a facelift or brow lift, may provide longer-lasting correction for more advanced signs of facial aging.
During your consultation, Dr. Jaibaji will review all appropriate treatment options and help you determine which approach best aligns with your goals.
