Available at Shah Med Spa in Boston and Westwood
At Shah Med Spa, Radiesse® offers a refined approach to facial and hand rejuvenation by combining instant volume with long-term collagen stimulation. Known for its lifting power and natural-looking results, Radiesse is a favorite among patients seeking firm, contoured skin with visible structure and definition.
Under the care of Dr. Sajani Shah, patients receive tailored Radiesse treatments that not only enhance facial features but also support long-term skin regeneration for elegant, lasting results.
What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse® is an FDA-approved calcium-based dermal filler that provides immediate volume while also stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. Its unique formula is made of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. Over time, your body metabolizes the gel, leaving behind your own strengthened collagen matrix.
This biostimulatory filler is ideal for individuals who want structure and lift without the puffiness that can sometimes result from softer hyaluronic acid fillers.
What Areas Can Radiesse Treat?
- Cheeks and midface volume loss
- Jawline contouring and definition
- Marionette lines
- Pre-jowl sulcus
- Chin enhancement
- Hands (FDA-approved for volume restoration on the backs of hands)
- Neck and décolletage (hyperdiluted Radiesse for skin tightening and texture)
Why Choose Dr. Shah?
Dr. Sajani Shah offers a sophisticated, tailored approach to Radiesse treatment. As an experienced surgeon and aesthetic physician, Dr. Shah understands both facial anatomy and aging dynamics, ensuring that every injection is both precise and artistic.
Whether your goal is to lift, contour, or subtly rejuvenate, Dr. Shah personalizes your Radiesse plan to support natural, harmonious enhancement.

Common Questions About Radiesse
Radiesse is not a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler. It is a biostimulatory filler that provides structure and encourages your body to produce its own collagen. Unlike HA fillers that simply add volume, Radiesse works to rebuild the skin from within, making it ideal for long-term skin integrity and contour.
You’ll notice immediate volume and lift after injection. Over the next few weeks, as your body stimulates new collagen, your results continue to improve—leading to firmer, more youthful skin.
Most patients enjoy results for 12 to 18 months. For skin rejuvenation treatments using hyperdiluted Radiesse, we may recommend 2–3 sessions spaced one month apart, followed by maintenance every 12–15 months.
Yes, Radiesse is FDA-approved and has been used safely worldwide. It is biosynthetically produced, meaning no animal products or allergy testing is required. When injected by an experienced physician like Dr. Shah, risks are minimal.
Absolutely. Radiesse pairs beautifully with Morpheus8, PRP, microneedling, and other energy-based therapies for enhanced collagen remodeling and skin tightening. Dr. Shah often incorporates combination strategies for the most natural and long-lasting results.
No. Radiesse is FDA-approved for hand rejuvenation and is widely used in a hyperdiluted form to rejuvenate the neck, chest, arms, abdomen, and even knees. It improves skin texture, firmness, and elasticity in these areas without surgery.
