If you’re frustrated with lines, wrinkles, or sunken areas that make you look older than you feel, you’re likely a good Radiesse candidate. With this specialized cosmetic injectable treatment, you’re not only addressing the visible signs of aging but also promoting your skin’s natural renewal process. Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, or beyond, Radiesse can restore youthful-looking volume and smoothness to areas like your cheeks, chin, and the backs of your hands.
In this blog post, we’ll explore what Radiesse can do for your skin at various stages of aging and learn what makes you a good candidate for the popular rejuvenation treatment.
What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse is a cosmetic injectable that smooths wrinkles and creates younger-looking skin. Technically, it’s classified as a biostimulator, meaning that although it provides immediate (but temporary) volume, its true power is in stimulating the skin to produce collagen, which naturally makes the skin look younger.
Composed of calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres, Radiesse helps to fill in wrinkles and volume loss while encouraging the skin to rebuild its structure from within. This dual-action approach makes Radiesse an excellent option for those looking for both instant and long-lasting rejuvenation.
Benefits of Radiesse
- Stimulates Collagen Production: Unlike traditional fillers like JUVÉDERM® or Restylane®, Radiesse goes beyond filling wrinkles by boosting your skin’s collagen production, improving skin texture over time.
- Long-Lasting Results: Radiesse offers longer-term results, with many patients enjoying results for up to 18 months.
- Natural, Rejuvenated Appearance: The treatment delivers subtle yet visible results that blend seamlessly with your natural facial contours.
What’s the Best Age for a Radiesse Treatment?
While Radiesse can be effective for people of most ages, the ideal candidate typically falls between the ages of 30 and 65. Those in their late 30s to early 40s may find that starting treatment early helps prevent deeper lines from forming, while also jump-starting the body’s collagen production process.
In Your 30s
In your 30s, your skin still has a fair amount of natural elasticity, but you may begin to see subtle signs of aging. This usually takes the form of fine lines or mild volume loss. Many people in their 30s use Radiesse as an early intervention, or “pre-juvenation,” helping to prevent deeper wrinkles from forming. By stimulating collagen production, it keeps your skin more youthful-looking and refreshed. Early treatments can also delay the need for more invasive procedures in the future.
In Your 40s and 50s
By the time you reach your 40s or 50s, the effects of aging are often more visible. Lines, wrinkles, and creases are more pronounced, and areas like the cheeks and jawline may show signs of volume loss. Radiesse restores some of that lost volume, particularly in the cheeks and lower face, while smoothing out wrinkles and folds around the mouth and chin. Collagen stimulation in this age group helps keep the skin firm and supple-looking.

In Your 60s and Beyond
In your 60s and older, skin begins to lose its natural collagen and elasticity at a faster rate. So, while you may not get the same benefit from Radiesse that you would have gotten at age 35, you’ll still likely enjoy some benefit. In fact, many people in their 60s notice satisfying results with hyperdiluted Radiesse, particularly in the cheeks, décolletage, and hands. (Hyperdilution involves using a more diluted form of Radiesse for a more subtle look.)
The effects may not last as long as in younger patients due to slower collagen regeneration, but Radiesse can still provide rejuvenating results that improve the overall texture and appearance of aging skin. Regular touch-ups are important at this age, as they will help you maintain your results, extending the youthful effects for as long as possible.
