Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite filler that can restore selected areas of volume while also supporting new collagen formation over time. I perform every injection, only after we have had a consultation. Radiesse behaves differently from the fillers most people know, so the consultation matters even more here. I will explain how it works, where it serves you well, and where a different product would be the better choice. We will decide together whether Radiesse is the right option for you.

How Radiesse Differs From Hyaluronic-Acid Fillers
Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. The gel provides initial correction, while the microspheres act as a scaffold associated with collagen formation. Unlike hyaluronic-acid fillers, Radiesse is not a reversible filler. Product choice therefore depends on the area, tissue characteristics, desired degree of support, and whether reversibility matters.
Age-related volume loss can make tendons and veins on the backs of the hands more visible. Radiesse is FDA approved for back of the hand augmentation to correct this type of volume loss in appropriate adults. Treatment is considered when the goal is a smoother, less hollow appearance rather than alteration of hand movement or function.

Radiesse for Cheeks
In the cheeks, a structural filler may be considered when loss of support contributes to flattening or shadowing through the midface. Radiesse may provide contour and support in carefully selected planes, but this use should be described by treatment goal and desired outcomes. Radiesse is used as off label for this indication and is not FDA approved in US.
Jawline Support With Radiesse
Radiesse may be considered when the jawline needs firmer structural support. Because jawline planning depends on the entire lower face, the dedicated jawline filler guide explains contouring, candidacy, and material choices in greater depth. Radiesse is FDA approved for this treatment.
Chin Support With Radiesse
Radiesse is one of the materials that may be considered when the chin needs projection or structural support. The chin and jawline are related, but they are not the same treatment area. Read the dedicated chin filler guide for the complete planning discussion.
Radiesse for Temples
Temple hollowing can alter the transition between the forehead, brow, and cheek. When Radiesse is considered here, the decision requires careful evaluation of anatomy, tissue depth, and the degree of correction appropriate for the face as a whole. Radiesse is not an FDA approved product for this treatment.
Radiesse for Smile Lines
Radiesse is FDA approved for correction of moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and folds, including nasolabial folds. These folds run from the sides of the nose toward the corners of the mouth. The dedicated nasolabial fold filler guide covers this concern without turning the product page into a competing area page.

Radiesse for the Neck and Décolletage
For the neck and décolletage, treatment may be discussed when crepey texture or reduced skin support is the main concern. This is not presented as an FDA-approved Radiesse indication, and the appropriate dilution, treatment plane, and number of sessions must be individualized.
Hyperdilute Radiesse
Hyperdilute Radiesse uses a diluted preparation intended to spread through a broader treatment area as a biostimulatory approach rather than to create a concentrated pocket of volume.
This is a FDA-approved indication for treatment of Decolletage area. The treatment should not be described or implied as FDA approved for skin tightening, texture improvement, and the neck area.
What to Expect From a Radiesse Consultation
I examine the area you want to improve, the quality and thickness of the tissue, nearby structures, and how the concern relates to the rest of your face or body. We will discuss the difference between Radiesse and reversible hyaluronic-acid fillers. We will decide together whether treatment is appropriate for you.
The amount used and appointment plan depend on the area and the correction being considered. Current package information is available on the filler packages and pricing page; a consultation is needed for an individualized estimate.
Radiesse Safety and Aftercare
All dermal fillers can cause temporary injection-site effects such as swelling, tenderness, redness, or bruising. Rare but serious complications can occur if filler enters a blood vessel. Review the FDA dermal filler safety information, then follow the individualized instructions provided for your treatment.
No. Radiesse is calcium hydroxylapatite in a gel carrier, while products such as RHA and Juvéderm are hyaluronic-acid fillers. The materials behave differently, so the right choice depends on the treatment area and plan.
Can Radiesse be dissolved?
Radiesse is not reversed with hyaluronidase in the way a hyaluronic-acid filler may be.
What is hyperdilute Radiesse?
It is a diluted, at times off-label use of an FDA-approved product intended for broader biostimulatory treatment rather than concentrated volume.
How much does Radiesse treatment cost?
Cost depends on the area, amount of product, and treatment plan. Review current packages and pricing, then schedule a consultation for an individualized estimate.
Which Radiesse areas are treated at BVA?
I use Radiesse for the hands, cheeks, jawline, chin, temples, smile lines, and the neck and décolletage where there is an appropriate case for its use. Hyperdilute Radiesse is offered as its own treatment.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Moazemi at Beau Visage Aesthetics! He is truly amazing at what he does. His gentle approach, attention to detail, and dedication to making you feel comfortable really set him apart. He takes his time, listens to your concerns, and has such an artistic eye when it comes to aesthetics. I especially appreciate how he focuses on enhancing your natural beauty rather than overdoing it. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and the quality of his work. I highly recommend him!
I can’t recommend Dr. Moazemi enough! I originally went to him for Botox, and from my very first appointment, he made me feel completely comfortable. He took the time to walk me through everything, explain the process, and patiently answer my million questions without ever making me feel rushed.
I’ve now gone to him three times, and I will absolutely continue going back. He’s incredibly kind, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about making sure you feel comfortable and informed. I’ve had such a great experience every single time. Highly recommend Dr. Moazemi!
Had a great experience at Beau Visage Aesthetics for my facial laser treatment! The entire experience was professional, welcoming, and informative from start to finish. Everything was explained clearly, all of my questions were answered, and I felt completely comfortable throughout the treatment. You can tell they genuinely care about their clients and the results they’re providing. I’m excited to continue my sessions and see the progress. Highly recommend Beau Visage Aesthetics!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about my visit today! From the moment you walk into this med spa, there is such an inviting, beautiful vibe that immediately puts you at ease. I started my appointment with a Deluxe HydraFacial with Jenn, and she truly blew it out of the water—her skin expertise, technique, and massage are next-level, and I left the treatment room completely relaxed with glowing, refreshed skin. From there, I saw Dr. Moazemi for an IPL treatment on my chest and hands. As a mature client, finding practitioners who truly understand aging skin is everything, and Dr. Moazemi is remarkably knowledgeable, thorough, and reassuring throughout the entire process. Having already seen noticeable results right away from a previous laser treatment here, I am incredibly excited to see my full before-and-after results and to continue my skin journey with them. If you are looking for a med spa that pairs high-level clinical skill with genuine warmth, this is absolutely the place—highly, highly recommend!
HydraFacial with Jennifer is truly a luxury experience. My skin always looks and feels amazing afterward: hydrated, refreshed, and glowing. Jennifer makes the whole experience so relaxing and enjoyable. I always look forward to my appointments with her!
I’ve gone to Dr. Moazemi at Beau Visage several times, including visits with colleagues, laser treatments and microneedling. He is always incredibly kind, gentle, and easy to work with. He takes his time, makes you feel comfortable, and is very accommodating with scheduling. His pricing is also excellent and very reasonable for the quality of care and treatments he provides. I’ve had a consistently great experience and would definitely recommend him!
I started microneedling with Dr. Moazemi this year and the results have been amazing, my skin is glowy and bouncy. I’d had microneedling before elsewhere and never got results like this. Dr. Moazemi is thorough in explaining treatments and recommends plans that actually deliver.
I also get hydrafacials from Jen, and I bring my mom too, we both love the results, especially before big events.
The space is friendly and professional from top to bottom. Highly recommend!!
I have gotten treatments from both Jen and Dr. Moazemi and would highly recommend this clinic! They are so friendly and professional and love that they offer such a wide range of services. 10/10 would recommend!
I cannot recommend Beau Visage highly enough, and Dr. Moazemi is truly in a league of his own. Not only is he exceptionally skilled in facial aesthetics, but his bedside manner is also unparalleled. He is incredibly kind, patient, and always takes the time to thoroughly answer every question I have so I never feel rushed. In an industry that can sometimes feel transactional, it is very clear that Dr. Moazemi genuinely cares about achieving the best possible outcomes for his patients rather than just pushing procedures. I completely trust him with my face and wouldn’t go to anyone else.
I had an appointment with Dr. Moazemi for Botox and filler, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the start, he took the time to thoroughly explain the procedures, including the areas that could be improved, and never pressured me into anything. He’s kind, confident, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout.
It’s only day 3, and I can already see results! I know the final results aren’t fully settled yet, but I can already notice more symmetry and natural enhancement. I highly recommend Dr. Moazemi to anyone looking for someone professional, thoughtful, and talented.
I have been coming to Dr. Moazemi for treatments over the last year including Botox, PRP injections, and recently a Hydrafacial. I couldn’t recommend him enough! Everyone was so kind and professional. Pricing was very fair, especially since you are receiving the best quality of care and products. Dr. Moazemi was incredibly knowledgeable about facial anatomy and took the time to explain everything. I’m very happy with my results and my skin has never looked better. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone!
I really enjoyed my experience here! I’ve had a few facials with Jen and her and Dr. Moazemi do a phenomenal job helping you with all the treatments they provide and also do a wonderful job educating you on how to take care of your skin. I’ve had the Hydrafacial and the Ultimate Glow Facial and you can’t go wrong with anything in their menu. 10/10 you’ll leave feeling absolutely satisfied after your session.
After reading the tons of positive online reviews about the Beau Visage Aesthetics, I decided to give it a try. And I'm so glad I did. I've been a client for about 2 years now, and i couldn't have been happier. Dr. Moazemi is very knowledgeable and patient. He explains the procedures in details and takes the time to answer all the questions. His precise hand and knowledge about human anatomy and physiology plays a big role in the always best outcomes of every procedure he does.I trust Dr.Moazemi 100%, and I highly recommend him. Thank you for keeping me beautiful :))
Dr. Moazemi has been wonderful to work with. When I started considering laser hair removal I called around to so many places because I know working with Hispanic skin can be challenging and not all lasers work. Dr. Moazemi called me back personally to discuss the options and make a recommendation. I’ve had two treatments so far and have had way more hair reduction than I expected. His prices are also very good for this area. Highly recommend Beau Visage!
