What Is Radiesse?
At The Piazza Center in Austin, TX, Dr. Rocco Piazza’s Advanced Nurse Injectors offer Radiesse — a dermal filler whose active ingredient, calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), sets it apart from other injectables offered at the practice. Like hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers such as Juvéderm and Restylane, Radiesse is injected subdermally to add volume immediately. But its calcium-based microspheres also act as a catalyst for collagenesis — stimulating your body to produce its own new collagen and elastin over time. That’s different from Sculptra Aesthetic, a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) biostimulator that provides no immediate volume at all and works purely through gradual collagen renewal across a series of sessions. Radiesse instead gives you both: an immediate correction plus a cumulative, longer-lasting rejuvenation as new collagen builds.

Volume correction is visible immediately and continues to improve as new collagen forms. Results typically last 12–18 months or longer, with some patients seeing benefits extend to 18–24 months; touch-ups are typically recommended every other year.
Why Choose Radiesse
Immediate volume,
long-term renewal.
Radiesse offers immediate volume restoration while stimulating collagen production for long-term rejuvenation — a dual mechanism that sets it apart from fillers that only add volume, and from biostimulators that only build collagen gradually.
- 01
Immediate Volume Correction
Calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres restore volume at the time of treatment — no waiting for results to appear.
- 02
Long-Term Collagen Stimulation
CaHA acts as a catalyst for collagenesis, prompting your body to produce its own new collagen and elastin long after treatment.
- 03
Cumulative, Long-Lasting Results
Results build in the months following treatment and can last 12–18 months or longer — longer than many HA fillers.
- 04
Natural, Firm Definition
Enhances facial definition at the jawline, cheeks, and temples with a firm yet natural feel.

Results
Your Radiesse Results
After your Radiesse treatment, hollows and deep folds are visibly filled, giving your face a more youthful contour right away. Unlike many other fillers, Radiesse’s results are cumulative — your appearance continues to improve in the following months as your body builds new collagen.
Radiesse results can last 12–24 months, with your own metabolic cycle determining exactly where you fall in that window. It’s typical for patients to schedule Radiesse touch-ups every other year to maintain their results.
