As we age or undergo significant weight changes, the loss of facial volume is inevitable. Many people notice a gaunt, hollowed appearance around the cheeks, temples, and jawline, often referred to as “Ozempic face,” which can result from rapid weight loss or medications like Ozempic. Age-related volume loss is another common concern, where the skin loses its youthful plumpness and starts to sag. This can lead to a tired, hollow look that can be unflattering.
Radiesse is our doctors’ favorite product to restore lost bone volume and also stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production, leading to longer lasting results than traditional hyaluronic dermal fillers.
Conveniently located in Main Line, west of Philadelphia in Bryn Mawr, PA, our Aesthetic Doctors specialize in rejuvenating your appearance and providing a more youthful glow using bio-stimulators like Radiesse. We serve the greater Philadelphia area, including the Main Line, and we look forward to helping you look and feel your best.
Radiesse is a unique type of dermal filler used to restore lost volume and smooth wrinkles. Made from CaHA microspheres (biodegradable filler), it stimulates the body’s collagen production, offering immediate volume restoration and long-term improvement. Radiesse is similar to Sculptra and popular for treating facial volume loss due to aging, significant weight loss, or medications like Ozempic. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, Radiesse provides firmer, more substantial volume, making it ideal for areas like the cheeks, jawline, and temples. The results are both natural-looking and long-lasting, helping to bring back youthful contours without the need for surgery.
Radiesse offers several benefits, particularly for individuals wanting to restore lost facial volume. The filler provides instant volume and stimulates collagen production over time, improving skin quality and elasticity. It is one of the longest-lasting injectable options available, with results that can persist for up to a year or more. Unlike other fillers, Radiesse is uniquely formulated to provide more volume with less product because one syringe can deliver up to five times more volume than a typical hyaluronic acid filler. So, for those with volume loss due to aging, significant weight loss, or conditions like “Ozempic face,” Radiesse can create a fuller, more youthful appearance while addressing the underlying causes of sagging skin.
The cost of Radiesse in our King of Prussia and Bryn Mawr locations outside of Philadelphia ranges from $800 to $1,100 (based on provider) per syringe. Radiesse is known for its ability to provide long-lasting results, with just one syringe often offering significant volume restoration. The pricing may vary depending on whether additional syringes are required for more extensive treatment areas. During your consultation, our Doctors will provide a breakdown of the cost based on your specific needs and offer financing solutions if needed.
The first step in receiving Radiesse treatment is scheduling a consultation at our office in King of Prussia and Bryn Mawr, just west of Philadelphia. During this consultation, Dr. LaTerra, Dr. John Lee or Dr. Joseph Castelli will assess your facial structure, listen to your concerns, and discuss your goals to ensure that Radiesse is the right treatment for you. Your medical history will be reviewed to ensure that you’re a good candidate for the procedure, especially if you’ve had prior injectable treatments or skin conditions. They will also answer any questions you have, such as what to expect during and after the treatment. Once everything is clear, the treatment plan will be finalized and can be scheduled.
On the day of your Radiesse treatment, you’ll be greeted by our team, which will guide you through the process from start to finish. The treatment itself typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, and a local anesthetic or numbing cream may be applied to minimize any discomfort if requested. Once the skin is numb, Dr. LaTerra, Dr. Lee or Dr. Castelli will carefully inject Radiesse into the targeted areas. The technique ensures a smooth, natural-looking result that restores volume to the face. Most patients experience only mild swelling or bruising, which typically resolves within a few days, and you’ll start to see some immediate results, with the final results settling in over time.
Recovery is generally quick and easy, with most patients able to return to their normal activities the same day, though some mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites is normal to experience for those first few days. While there may be some tenderness, this is temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief if necessary. For the best results, it’s recommended that patients avoid excessive sun exposure, intense physical activity, or applying pressure to the treated areas for 24-48 hours after the procedure. Then, within a week or two, the results will be fully visible, and continuous improvement will be observed as the collagen-building effects of Radiesse take hold.
At our practice, Radiesse is not just another filler. It’s a part of our commitment to providing effective treatments that deliver natural, long-lasting results. Dr. LaTerra, Dr. John Lee and Dr. Joseph Castelli bring decades of experience to each treatment, utilizing their extensive training in facial aesthetics to ensure the most precise, artistic results. Leading the team, Dr. Lee’s background as a member of the American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO), the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (FAACS), the American College of Surgeons (FACS), and the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS), all our doctors have MINIMUM TEN YEARS OF EXPERIENCE performing aesthetic dermal fillers and bio stimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse.
