Radiesse
Imagine building a custom house. You need strong beams and framing to hold up the drywall and keep the structure standing straight. Over time, our skin loses those essential internal support beams, specifically collagen and elastin, which can leave areas around our cheeks, jawline, and hands looking a little hollow or less firm.
If you want immediate volume combined with long-term structural improvement, Radiesse offers a powerful dual approach. At On The Glow Medspa & Aesthetics in Porter Ranch, we use Radiesse not just to fill in sunken spots, but to prompt your skin to rebuild its own natural scaffolding. You get instantly defined contours that keep improving over time, giving you a refreshed look that remains authentically yours.
Delivers instant volume while actively stimulating long-term collagen and elastin production.
Minimal. Minor swelling, redness, or tenderness generally fades within a few days.
Quick visit lasting 30 to 45 minutes.
Immediate lift that lasts 12 to 18 months or longer as your body builds new collagen.
Radiesse is a dual-action filler. It provides an immediate "scaffold" under the skin to lift wrinkles or define a jawline, but it also contains Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) spheres. These spheres are like tiny pearls that stimulate your body to grow its own collagen around them. It is firmer than hyaluronic acid fillers, making it amazing for mimicking bone (like a sharp jawline) or tightening crepey skin on the neck.
We inject Radiesse deeper into the skin. Immediately, the gel matrix gives you volume and lift. We start by cleansing your treatment area and applying a topical numbing cream to keep you relaxed. Many formulations also include a local anesthetic for added comfort during injection. Using fine needles or smooth, flexible micro-cannulas, your provider places the product precisely along the deep structural layers of your tissue. You can immediately see restored structure in the mirror.
Over the next few months, the gel is absorbed, but the calcium spheres remain, and your body weaves new collagen through them. This creates long-lasting structural support made from your own tissue.

Can be used diluted (spread) or undiluted (lift).

Radiesse is a great option for adults looking to address significant volume loss, sharpen their lower face features, or rebuild skin thickness on the neck, chest, or hands.
Avoid Radiesse if you have severe allergies, an active skin infection near the treatment area, or a history of keloid scarring. Because Radiesse cannot be immediately dissolved with hyaluronidase like HA fillers, it is best suited for clients who want durable, long-term structural restoration. During your consultation at On The Glow, we will review your goals to make sure Radiesse is the safest, most rewarding choice for you.
There is no formal recovery process needed after Radiesse, letting you jump right back into your daily routine across Granada Hills or Chatsworth. You might notice mild swelling, slight tenderness, or small pinpoint bruises around the injection points, but these usually clear up within a few days.
To protect your results and minimize swelling, avoid heavy exercise, direct heat, saunas, and alcohol for 24 to 48 hours. Avoid pressing firmly on or massaging the treated areas so the product settles evenly into the natural contours of your face or body.
You will notice an immediate lift and improvement in facial volume right after your appointment. Over the next 8 to 12 weeks, as your body slowly absorbs the carrier gel, the CaHA microspheres go to work, spurring your tissue to build a fresh, healthy matrix of collagen and elastin.
These benefits typically hold firm for 12 to 18 months. Even as the product breaks down naturally over time, the new collagen network you built remains, keeping your skin firmer and more resilient than when you started. Most clients return to On The Glow once a year to maintain their contours and keep their collagen production active.
Placing biostimulating fillers requires advanced anatomical knowledge and a light, intentional approach. At On The Glow Medspa & Aesthetics, our physician-guided team places every injection with careful restraint to complement your existing features rather than changing them.
We serve clients throughout Porter Ranch, Northridge, Granada Hills, and the broader San Fernando Valley who value honest guidance and subtle, high-quality results. From choosing the right dilution for your skin to creating a long-term plan for your collagen, we keep your comfort, safety, and natural beauty front and center.
HA fillers use a soft gel to bind water and plump up tissue, whereas Radiesse uses calcium-based microspheres that provide immediate structure and prompt your skin to make its own new collagen and elastin.
Hyperdilute Radiesse is when we blend the product with saline and lidocaine before treatment. This creates a smooth, spreadable liquid that improves skin firmness and texture across areas like the neck, chest, or upper arms without adding deep volume.
No. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse cannot be dissolved with an enzyme. Because of this, our experienced practitioners take a conservative, deliberate approach to ensure you get smooth, natural-looking results from day one.
Discomfort is very light. We apply a topical numbing cream before we begin, and the Radiesse formula is mixed with lidocaine to keep you comfortable throughout the injection process.
In dynamic facial areas like the cheeks, chin, and jawline, Radiesse results typically last between 12 and 18 months as your skin builds and maintains its new collagen network.
Cost varies depending on whether you need structural contouring or broader hyperdilute treatment, as well as the total number of syringes required. We walk you through transparent pricing during your initial consultation, and new clients receive 20% off their first treatment.
