Radiesse in McMinnville, Oregon
The dual-action filler—instant volume correction plus natural collagen stimulation for results lasting 12-18 months
What is Radiesse?
Radiesse is a unique dermal filler that provides immediate volume restoration while also stimulating your body's natural collagen production for long-lasting results. Composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier, Radiesse works twofold: it fills in wrinkles and folds instantly upon injection, and over time, the CaHA microspheres encourage collagen growth to maintain a youthful structure.
At MC Aesthetics in McMinnville, Radiesse is a go-to for clients seeking to enhance facial contours like cheeks and jawlines or even rejuvenate aging hands. It's a versatile, FDA-approved option for those wanting both instant gratification and sustained improvement.

Ideal Candidates
Radiesse is ideal for adults looking to address moderate to severe facial wrinkles, folds, or volume loss, as well as those interested in hand rejuvenation. It's suitable for most healthy individuals who are not allergic to any components of the filler.
Radiesse may not be suitable for those with severe allergies, bleeding disorders, or active skin infections near the treatment area. It's also not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.
What to Expect
Your Radiesse treatment at MC Aesthetics will start with a personalized consultation to map out the areas needing volume or contouring. The procedure itself takes about 30 minutes, using a fine needle or cannula for injection. Most clients feel minimal discomfort, often mitigated by a numbing agent.
You'll see immediate volume enhancement, though optimal results develop over a few weeks as collagen production ramps up. Mild swelling or bruising may occur but usually resolves within a few days.
Pre-Treatment Care
- Avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin or ibuprofen for a week prior

- Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol 24 hours before
Post-Treatment Care
- Avoid strenuous exercise or heat for 24-48 hours

Results & Duration
Results from Radiesse typically last 12 to 18 months, depending on the treatment area, your metabolism, and lifestyle factors. The collagen stimulation effect can even extend the youthful appearance beyond the filler's duration in some cases.
