Radiesse Volumizing Filler is FDA-approved to be mixed with lidocaine. This addition means you can enjoy smoother, more youthful-looking skin with greater ease. By numbing the treatment area, lidocaine helps ensure minimal discomfort as Radiesse works to restore volume and soften wrinkles.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

At Motykie Med Spa, our highly trained nurses will work closely with you during your initial consultation to assess your unique needs. This will help establish a treatment plan that may include additional appointments if necessary. Regular check-ins can also be beneficial for evaluating the longevity of your results, as Radiesse can stimulate collagen production for up to a year or more after treatment.

How Long Until I See the Results?

Right after your treatment, you’ll see a noticeable reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, with a natural, youthful fullness restored to your skin. What makes Radiesse unique is that its effects continue to develop over time. As the filler stimulates collagen production, your results will keep improving for up to a year, offering long-lasting rejuvenation that looks and feels natural.

Can I Combine Radiesse with Other Procedures?

Yes, Radiesse can often be paired with treatments such as Botox or Dysport for a multi-faceted approach to facial aesthetics. While Botox works to relax dynamic wrinkles and fine lines caused by muscle movement, Radiesse restores lost volume and improves skin elasticity.

What Are the Risks Associated with Radiesse?

Some patients may experience common side effects such as redness, bruising, and swelling at the injection site. These local reactions typically resolve within a few days, allowing you to enjoy your results without much delay. In rarer cases, patients might notice prolonged swelling, unevenness, or firmness in the treated area. As with any injectable treatment, there’s also a minimal risk of infection. Discussing your concerns with your provider to ensure you have a complete understanding of the procedure and what to expect will help you feel more confident and prepared for your experience.

Radiesse

Introduction to Radiesse

Collagen—the powerhouse that gives skin its volume, elasticity, and strength—naturally diminishes as we age, leading to lines, wrinkles, and laxity that can make the skin look tired. At Motykie Med Spa in West Hollywood, CA, we know maintaining a youthful, vibrant appearance is important to you, and Radiesse is here to help bring that glow back. Radiesse offers a unique solution that not only restores volume but also encourages your body’s own collagen production to revive the skin’s firmness and freshness over time. This FDA-approved treatment delivers immediate, natural-looking results that continue to improve, helping you feel confident in your skin every day.

What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is an injectable designed to instantly restore volume and smooth away the visible signs of aging. Upon injection, it immediately lifts and fills areas affected by volume loss, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and creases. But Radiesse doesn’t stop there—it goes a step further by working with your body to stimulate natural collagen production, helping your skin rebuild its own supportive structure. This dual-action effect creates results that often last a year or longer for many patients, offering a refreshed and youthful look that stays beautifully natural over time. With Radiesse, you can enjoy immediate improvement and ongoing benefits that continue well beyond your initial treatment.

What Are the Benefits of Radiesse?

Radiesse is specifically formulated to address a range of cosmetic issues related to facial aging and volume loss. It effectively smooths out deep lines extending from the corners of the mouth, often known as “marionette lines,” which can make the face appear older. Additionally, Radiesse targets sagging in the pre-jowl area, helping to lift and firm the skin around the chin. It also corrects downturned mouth corners, which can give a perpetually sad or angry look. The treatment also reduces laugh lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Lastly, it minimizes horizontal wrinkles on the chin, enhancing the overall appearance of your smile.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Radiesse?

A West Hollywood Radiesse treatment is great if you notice deeper lines or want more contour in areas like your cheeks or jawline. It’s designed for those who want to smooth out marionette lines, add lift where fullness has faded, or create a more defined look along the jaw. With Radiesse®, you get the bonus of collagen stimulation, which helps your skin maintain a firmer, naturally youthful appearance over time.

If you’re in good health and looking for a long-lasting solution without surgery, Radiesse could be a fantastic fit. Talking with an experienced injector can help pinpoint the areas you’d like to enhance and see if this filler aligns with your goals.

Your Kybella Journey with Dr. GARY MOTYKIE

What’s the First Step?

The first step to enhancing your appearance with Radiesse is to schedule a consultation at Motykie Med Spa. During this time, you’ll discuss your goals, concerns, and any specific areas you’d like to address, and Dr. Motykie’s team will thoroughly evaluate your problem areas.

This is also the perfect time to ask any questions you may have about the procedure, including the expected results, the recovery process, and how Radiesse fits into your overall treatment plan.

What to Expect on the Day of Radiesse Treatment

Radiesse treatments in West Hollywood are designed for efficiency and comfort. They usually last just 15–20 minutes. You can usually get your treatment on the same day as your consultation. Once you’re ready, a topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize any potential discomfort.

The actual injection is relatively straightforward. Your provider uses a fine needle or cannula to administer Radiesse directly into the areas needing enhancement, such as nasolabial folds, marionette lines, or the cheeks. The gel filler is expertly injected, filling in wrinkles and adding volume where it’s needed most. If you’ve opted for the lidocaine mix, it will help ensure you remain comfortable throughout the treatment.

Once the injections are complete, you’ll see immediate results, with smoother skin and reduced signs of aging. The area may be gently massaged to ensure even distribution, and you’ll receive post-treatment care instructions to follow at home.

Radiesse Recovery

There will be some mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, which usually fades within — apply a cold compress to help minimize these side effects.

As Radiesse continues to work, stimulating collagen production beneath the skin, results become more noticeable over time, creating a smoother, fuller appearance that can last up to a year or more.
