What is Radiesse Hands?
The hands don’t lie. Even with a more youthful appearance of your face, your age can easily be given away by the appearance of your hands.
Radiesse is the first FDA approved injectable dermal filler for hand augmentation to correct volume loss of the hands. Radiesse restores volume to the hands while providing smooth, natural-looking results that can be seen immediately and can last up to 1-2 years or more.

Radiesse injections are generally safe, effective, non-surgical and painless (or minimally painful), without any significant downtime. We use proven safe, gentle and easy anesthetic options for your added comfort (i.e. prescription topical anesthetics). Younger-looking hands occur immediately. However, any swelling & bruising that may occur masks final results until gone. To minimize bruising and swelling, avoid aspirin & aspirin-containing products for at least one week prior Radiesse Hands injections (if possible) and avoid ibuprofen (i.e. Advil, Motrin) for 3 days prior Radiesse Hands injections. Avoid other blood thinners per your prescribing physician’s recommendation. Contraindications include allergy to Radiesse, pregnancy and nursing, and significant bleeding disorders. Also, we avoid infected skin until healed. The most common side effects are bruising, redness, swelling, pain and itching. Reversible lumps or bumps (i.e. nodules) have been rarely reported to occur. Serious adverse events are rare, but may include tissue damage from unintended intravascular injection, allergic reaction and infection. Minimize strenuous activity and avoid extensive sun or heat exposure for 24 hours after Radiesse injections and until any swelling or redness has resolved. Ice / cold packs and ibuprofen may be used after injections as needed. Results usually last from 1 to 2 years, sometimes longer.
