Rejuvenate your face and hands while maintaining your beautifully unique look with Radiesse® treatment at Long Island’s VITRA Aesthetics Clinic. The injectable filler works two ways to enhance your elegantly natural appearance and confidence: by adding volume that’s visible right away, and boosting the production of collagen for longer-lasting results.

Radiesse® is a specialized injectable treatment made up of a water-based gel filled with tiny calcium-based microspheres that stimulate collagen production to fill out hollow areas of the face. Since natural collagen is a vital element in any youthful face, restoring it in areas where it has diminished can help to create a welcome smoothness and appealing contours.
Collagen production is gradual, so the Radiesse® injection itself will provide initial volume as spheres of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) get to work. These microscopic spheres construct a sturdy internal “scaffold” in the skin, creating a firm and flexible structure. The scaffold prompts new elastin and new collagen fibers to form, and these natural elements take over once the scaffold dissolves. The result is a remarkable rejuvenation with natural-looking results without the need for plastic surgery.
Radiesse® is ideal for restoring and maintaining the refined planes and contours that define your face—especially in the lower face and jawline with lost volume. It’s highly effective for treating fine lines, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and other signs of aging. This anti-aging injectable is also an excellent choice for re-volumizing the backs of the hands and making veins and tendons less visible after volume loss.
The VITRA Aesthetics Clinic team takes great care in thoroughly getting to know each patient and developing an appropriate and effective rejuvenation plan. The best way to determine if and FDA-approved Radiesse® treatment is right for you is to schedule a consultation and explain the cosmetic results you want to achieve.
Radiesse injections are both quick and easy to handle, thanks to the patient-focused VITRA team. Every treatment is considered from multiple angles, including safety, long-lasting results, and comfort. A topical anesthetic can be used at the injection site to minimize discomfort.
Sessions can be arranged to fit into even busy schedules, and your cosmetic procedure will typically last no longer than the average lunch break.
The volumizing effects of Radiesse® will be visible right away in the treatment area. The team will provide information on how to best care for your beautiful, immediate results, which can be expected to last for up to a year. Common side effects may include mild swelling or redness at the injection site, but downtime is minimal.

Our medical professionals are all licensed, and each has a history of specialized training, high-quality results, an eye for exquisite detail, and the warmth of the human touch.
In addition to Radiesse®, VITRA Aesthetics Clinic offers Sculptra®, which is another collagen-stimulating injectable often used to enhance the buttocks to give them a subtle lift and more youthful shape. Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers do not stimulate the body’s natural collagen and elastin production in the same way, but they do add volume and elasticity in key areas for a rejuvenated, youthful appearance. These options include the Juvéderm® and Restylane® families.
BOTOX®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® are neuromodulators used for smoothing dynamic wrinkles by relaxing active facial muscles. Arrange a consultation with a healthcare provider at VITRA to discover which treatments options would be best for you!
Frequently Asked Questions About Radiesse
Radiesse is FDA-approved for jawline contouring and definition[cite: 1]. Providers offering this service in the Long Island area typically include highly qualified aesthetic specialists and plastic surgeons who possess world-class expertise in facial architecture and contouring techniques.
Radiesse offers a distinct dual action: it delivers immediate volume correction and structural lift through its gel carrier, and simultaneously stimulates the long-term production of the body's own collagen and elastin via its Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres[cite: 1].
Benefits include immediate vertical lifting, definition of structural contours (especially the jawline) [cite: 2], and improved skin thickness and suppleness[cite: 2].
Radiesse is often considered an excellent investment for patients seeking durable, natural-looking results for structural volume loss[cite: 3]. The results are sustained by the patient's own naturally produced tissue, resulting in a clinical longevity ranging from 1 year to 18 months[cite: 4]. Its extended duration and ability to achieve significant structural lift make it a highly efficient choice for long-term aesthetic enhancement[cite: 5].
Common adverse events are generally injection-site related, including bruising, redness, swelling, pain, and itching[cite: 6].
- Rare events include delayed-onset inflammation, which may occur at the injection site following systemic challenges such as viral illnesses, vaccination, or dental procedures[cite: 7].
- Clinicians must also be prepared to manage rare cases of skin discoloration[cite: 8].
- The highest clinical concern is the rare but severe risk of vascular occlusion and embolization, particularly when injecting in higher-risk areas, which can lead to ocular or orbital ischemic syndrome[cite: 9].
Yes. Radiesse is specifically FDA-approved for the correction of volume loss and improvement of skin appearance on the back of the hands. Official manufacturer websites and clinical galleries regularly showcase robust before and after images demonstrating significant rejuvenation in hand skin thickness and texture after treatment.
The immediate gel carrier component of Radiesse is naturally broken down and absorbed within the first three months post-injection[cite: 10]. However, the CaHA spheres remain within the tissue, actively stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin[cite: 11]. The aesthetic correction is sustained by this new collagen framework, with clinical results supporting longevity for up to 18 months.
