Radiesse® Filler in Nashville, TN
What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse is an FDA-approved filler that adds volume beneath the skin to smooth out deep lines and restore a fuller, more youthful appearance. It is made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), a mineral-based compound your body already recognizes, so it integrates naturally and breaks down safely over time.
Here is where Radiesse stands out. After it is injected, it does not just sit there and fade. It signals your skin to start producing its own collagen, the protein responsible for keeping skin firm and lifted. So even as the filler gradually dissolves, your skin continues to improve on its own.
Because it is firmer and more structural than hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse is well suited to deep folds, jawline contouring, and hand rejuvenation. At Relive Health Nashville, it offers the immediate results of a premium filler with the lasting structural improvements of a biostimulator.

FAQ
How is Radiesse different from hyaluronic acid fillers?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are a soft, gel-like substance that attracts water to plump the skin. Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), a firmer, more structural compound. While HA fillers are great for lips and fine lines, Radiesse is better suited for deep folds, jawline contouring, and stimulating long-term collagen production.
How long do the effects of Radiesse last?
Individual results vary based on metabolism and the area treated, but most clients enjoy their results for 12 to 18 months. The initial gel provides volume for the first few months, and as it dissolves, your newly formed collagen takes its place to maintain the lift.
What are the downsides of Radiesse?
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse cannot be dissolved or reversed with an enzyme if you are unhappy with the results. You must wait for the body to naturally absorb it over time, which is why it should be administered by the highly trained professionals at our Nashville center.
How long will swelling after Radiesse last?
Some swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites is normal right after treatment. For most clients, the majority of the swelling subsides within 3 to 5 days. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and excessive heat for the first 24 to 48 hours.
Does Radiesse make you look puffy?
When injected correctly by an experienced provider, Radiesse should not make you look puffy. It is a structural filler designed to lift and contour rather than just add soft volume. Any initial puffiness is typically temporary post-treatment swelling.
Can Radiesse be used in the lips?
No. Radiesse is a firm, structural filler and is not suitable for the lips or the delicate area under the eyes. For lip enhancement or tear trough treatment, we will recommend a softer hyaluronic acid filler during your consultation.
Does Radiesse ever fully go away?
Yes. Over time, your body safely metabolizes and absorbs the calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres. The new, natural collagen your body produced in response remains, providing lasting improvements to your skin’s texture and firmness.
Can I combine Radiesse with other treatments?
Yes. Many clients combine Radiesse with neurotoxins like Botox to address dynamic wrinkles, or with IV vitamin therapy to support skin healing and overall hydration.
