• Avoid touching or applying pressure to the treated area for 6 hours to reduce infection risk and allow initial settling.
• Minimize facial movement for 24–48 hours and avoid manipulating the area unless specifically advised by your provider.
• Massage the treated area gently if instructed by your provider—this may be recommended 2–3 times daily for the first 5–7 days to promote even distribution and minimize the risk of lump formation. Your provider will give specific guidance based on your treatment area.
• Refrain from vigorous exercise, alcohol, and blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen) for 24–48 hours to limit swelling and bruising.
• Stay well-hydrated for 2 weeks to support collagen production and optimal integration.
• Do not undergo other facial treatments (e.g., facials, microneedling, or lasers) for 7–14 days, depending on your provider’s advice.

• You may experience firmness, tenderness, or swelling at the injection site for up to 2 weeks.
• Lumps or nodules can occur temporarily as Radiesse settles; this is typically part of the healing process.
• Mild redness, bruising, or warmth at the site is normal and should resolve within a few days.

• Swelling and firmness typically reduce over 5–10 days.
• Full integration and collagen stimulation continue beyond the two-week mark.
• You may feel textural changes under the skin initially, which should smooth out as your body integrates the product.
• Asymmetry in the early healing phase may occur due to localized swelling and should resolve naturally.

• Immediate volume correction is noticeable right after treatment.
• Collagen stimulation begins over the following weeks, with progressive improvements for up to 3 months.
• Results typically last 12–18 months, depending on the area treated and your individual metabolism.

• Stick to a regular treatment schedule as recommended by your provider.
• Support collagen production with healthy nutrition, hydration, and sun protection.
• Consider combining with medical-grade skincare, non-ablative laser treatments, and microneedling for long-term skin health and maintenance.

Although Radiesse is well-tolerated, contact the clinic immediately if you experience:

• Signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, facial swelling, difficulty breathing, or hives.
• Excessive pain, warmth, or redness beyond the typical healing window.
• Bruising or discoloration that worsens or becomes extensive.
• Hard nodules or prolonged lumps that persist or feel painful after 2–3 weeks.
• Skin blanching, coolness, or purple discoloration, which could indicate a vascular occlusion (a rare emergency).
• Visual disturbances or signs of stroke-like symptoms—this is a medical emergency and requires immediate attention.
• If you have any questions or concerns, text us at (705) 230-9190 or call the clinic at (705) 503-7823.
