Radiesse®
Restore Your Defining Facial Contours in Horsham and Newtown, PA
Many fillers use a hyaluronic acid-based gel to add volume to key areas of the face. Radiesse® available at The Well Lounge, located in Horsham and Newtown, PA, is different. As an injectable treatment, the dermal filler uses tiny particles in a malleable gel to restore youthful contours as well as to stimulate the production of collagen in the skin for especially natural-looking and long-lasting rejuvenation.
Radiesse® can be injected quickly and efficiently, so you can return to your activities of choice while your skin takes over its own improvement. That means you can visit The Well Lounge in Horsham or Newtown on a “lunch break” and then get right back into the swing of things without missing a step!

What Can Radiesse® Treat?
Age-related volume loss is a primary cause of visible signs of aging. As collagen and elastin break down and are not replaced as quickly over time, the skin begins to reveal hollows, creases, and lines. These changes are especially noticeable on the face, where smile lines and marionette lines develop. The changes can also be seen on the backs of the hands, where thinning skin and loss of volume make tendons and veins stand out.
Radiesse® counters these changes by filling in hollow areas with gel, then encouraging renewed collagen production to restore natural structure and volume. It is FDA approved to improve the appearance of moderate to severe facial folds and wrinkles, as well as to correct volume loss on the backs of the hands.
On the face, Radiesse® is commonly injected to address smile lines next to the mouth, marionette lines below the mouth, oral commissures at the corners of the mouth, wrinkles on the chin, and “pre-jowl folds” on either side of the chin.
How Does Radiesse® Work?
Radiesse® has a “two-part” system for rejuvenating the skin. First, a gel carrier provides volume as soon as it is injected, like adding air to a deflating balloon. This gel pushes the surface of the skin outward, reducing the severity of creases, folds, and hollows. Next, tiny spheres made of calcium hydroxylapatite—all suspended in the gel—create a sort of scaffold after integrating into the skin. This scaffold activates collagen-building and elastin-producing cells. The gel breaks down over time, while new collagen fibers develop and create a sturdy and flexible network that keeps the skin smoother.

What Does a Radiesse® Session Involve?
The Well Lounge team welcomes everyone seeking facial or hand rejuvenation with a consultation in order to determine the best strategy for achieving their goals.
The Radiesse® gel is injected directly under the skin in an efficient visit that takes no longer than a lunch break. Each injection causes a slight pinch-like sensation that patients typically handle very well. Anyone nervous about the experience can discuss their concerns during their consultation, when we will develop a plan to maximize both mental and physical comfort.
What Happens After a Radiesse® Treatment?
The volume provided by the Radiesse® gel carrier is visible as soon as it’s injected, although there will also likely be some initial swelling that can make the treatment area appear slightly fuller at first. This will resolve in a matter of days, along with any itching, redness, or discomfort.
The gel-to-natural-collagen trade-off happens gradually over the following months, yielding results that can last for a year or longer.
What Other Fillers Are Available at The Well Lounge?
Another collagen-stimulating injectable, Sculptra®, is also used to create more youthful facial contours, as well as to add volume for shaping the buttocks. The hyaluronic acid-based Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and Belotero Balance® are typically used only to address facial lines related to volume loss.
For signs of aging associated with repetitive muscle activity—known as dynamic wrinkles—we offer BOTOX®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®.
