A distinct injectable option
What Is Radiesse?
The Radiesse formulation offered at Embrace combines calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres with a gel carrier that contains lidocaine. It provides immediate volume and support while stimulating collagen and elastin production over time.
Filler Support
Radiesse can smooth certain facial wrinkles and folds or add support where jawline contour has changed.
Biostimulatory Activity
The CaHA microspheres support the skin’s production of collagen and elastin, which is why Radiesse is also described as a biostimulator.
Lidocaine-Containing Formulation
The Radiesse formulation offered at Embrace contains lidocaine to help reduce injection-related pain and discomfort during and after treatment.
Understanding your options
What Can Radiesse Treat?
The lidocaine-containing Radiesse formulation offered at Embrace has FDA-approved uses for facial wrinkles and folds and for jawline contour.
Facial Wrinkles and Folds
This treatment is FDA-approved for adults age 22 and older to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds.
Jawline Contour
This treatment is FDA-approved for adults age 22 and older to improve moderate to severe loss of jawline contour.

How Radiesse Differs From Other Options
Radiesse is both a filler and a biostimulator. Sculptra is a different biostimulator designed to work more gradually, while other dermal fillers use different materials and are selected for different concerns.
No single injectable is right for every concern. The best option depends on your anatomy, priorities, treatment area, and provider evaluation.

Consultation first
What to Expect at Your Radiesse Consultation

Step 1
Discuss Your Goals
Share what you would like to address and what a natural, balanced result means to you.
Step 2
Review Health and Treatment History
Your provider reviews relevant medical history, prior injectable treatments, medications, allergies, and the area you are considering.
Step 3
Review Your Personalized Plan
If Radiesse is appropriate, Dr. Pabona will explain the recommended treatment area and plan, what to expect, important risks, aftercare, and any alternatives worth considering.

Why Consultation Matters
Radiesse treatment is not one-size-fits-all. A consultation gives you space to discuss what you want to address, understand the available options, and decide whether treatment fits your priorities.
Questions patients ask
Radiesse FAQs and Safety Overview
Is Radiesse a filler or a biostimulator?
It is both. Radiesse is a CaHA dermal filler that provides support and also stimulates collagen and elastin production over time.
Does Radiesse contain lidocaine?
The Radiesse formulation offered at Embrace contains lidocaine. It is included to help reduce injection-related pain and discomfort during and after treatment.
Is Radiesse the same as Sculptra or other dermal fillers?
No. These products use different materials and work in different ways. Radiesse provides immediate volume correction and stimulates collagen and elastin, while Sculptra is designed to stimulate collagen more gradually. During your consultation, Dr. Pabona can explain which option may better match your goals.
How soon will I see results, and how long can they last?
Volume correction and smoothing can be visible immediately after Radiesse treatment, while collagen and elastin stimulation continues over time. Manufacturer materials say results have been shown to last up to two years. Individual results and duration vary based on the treatment area and personal treatment plan.
What is a Radiesse appointment like?
Radiesse treatment is generally completed during a brief in-office visit. The exact experience and visit length depend on the treatment area and plan you review with your provider.
What should I expect after treatment?
Temporary bruising, redness, swelling, pain, or itching can occur at the injection site. Manufacturer guidance recommends minimizing strenuous activity and avoiding extensive sun or heat exposure for about 24 hours after treatment and until swelling or redness has resolved. Follow the specific aftercare instructions provided for your treatment.
How many treatments will I need?
There is no single treatment schedule that fits everyone. Dr. Pabona will consider your starting point, goals, treatment area, and response before recommending the number and timing of visits.
How much does Radiesse cost?
Pricing depends on the treatment area and personalized plan. Embrace will review your exact treatment recommendations and pricing before you decide whether to move forward.
How do I know whether Radiesse is right for me?
Dr. Pabona will review your goals, treatment area, health history, allergies, medications, and alternatives before recommending treatment. Not every person or treatment area is appropriate for Radiesse.
