At Ensoul, our aesthetic clinic offers Radiesse Dermal Fillers in Calgary, providing an effective solution for individuals seeking to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.
Conditions Treated by Radiesse Fillers
Face & Neck
As we age, collagen production—the key structural protein responsible for keeping our skin firm and youthful—begins to decline, leading to sagging skin and visible signs of aging. Radiesse offers an effective solution to help restore a well-defined lower face, allowing you to regain a look that reflects your inner confidence.
Targeted treatment areas include smile lines, corners of the mouth, marionette lines, pre-jowl folds, chin wrinkles, and the neck.
Hands
Loss of volume on the back of the hands is a common sign of aging, often making veins and tendons more prominent. Radiesse works to restore lost volume, enhancing the appearance of your hands by minimizing the visibility of veins and tendons, giving them a smoother, more youthful look.

What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse is a non-surgical dermal filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel. It is designed to restore volume and smooth out moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as smile lines and marionette lines.
One of the unique features of Radiesse injection is its ability to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, leading to long-lasting results. The filler provides immediate volume and, over time, encourages the skin to regenerate its own collagen, enhancing firmness and elasticity.
Radiesse is also effective for treating areas beyond the face, such as the neck and hands, helping to restore a youthful appearance. With its natural-looking results and minimal downtime, Radiesse has become a popular choice for individuals seeking to rejuvenate their appearance without invasive procedures.
How Does Radiesse Work?
Collagen is the primary structural protein responsible for providing strength and support to the skin. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to a loss of firmness and elasticity in the skin.
Radiesse injection works by stimulating the body’s natural ability to generate new collagen. Its main active ingredient, calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), plays a crucial role in this process, promoting youthful and resilient skin.
What Is CaHA?
Calcium hydroxylapatite, or CaHA, sets Radiesse apart as a distinctive injectable aesthetic treatment. It is the first and only CaHA-based product that delivers both immediate, natural-looking results and long-lasting improvement, often lasting a year or more for many patients.
How Soon Will I See Results?
Typically, the volumizing and wrinkle-filling effects of Radiesse are noticeable immediately after injection. It effectively lifts and defines key areas around the lower face, resulting in a smoother overall appearance. Additionally, by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, Radiesse enhances skin quality over time, allowing for ongoing improvements.
What Does the Procedure Involve?
Radiesse is carefully injected beneath the skin using a fine needle, targeting the middle and lower face as well as the backs of the hands. A typical treatment session lasts about 30 minutes, though it may take longer if multiple areas are being addressed during the same appointment.
