Instant lift. Lasting collagen.
Radiesse, a calcium hydroxylapatite collagen-stimulating filler, in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Immediate structure the day it is placed, plus collagen your body keeps building for months, performed personally by board-certified Nurse Practitioner Natasha Wilkes.
Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite filler, made of tiny CaHA microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. It does two things at once. The gel provides immediate lift and structure the day it is placed, and the microspheres act as a scaffold that prompts your body to build its own new collagen over the months that follow.
Instant structure today. Collagen you keep building long after.
Because it stimulates your own collagen, Radiesse works differently from hyaluronic acid dermal filler. It is not dissolved the same way HA filler is, and for the right concern it can be a longer-lasting alternative when the goal is structure, contour, and lasting skin quality rather than a quick, reversible touch-up. It shares its collagen-building approach with Sculptra, while adding the immediate lift that Sculptra does not.
Natasha uses Radiesse for jawline and chin definition, cheek and mid-face contour, and hand rejuvenation, and in a hyperdilute form to firm and tighten crepey skin on the neck and décolletage.
Every Radiesse treatment begins with a full facial assessment. Natasha evaluates your structure, volume distribution, skin quality, and goals before deciding where Radiesse belongs and how it should be placed.
For contour and definition, Radiesse is placed precisely along the underlying structure of the jawline, chin, or cheeks, where it lifts immediately and lays down a collagen scaffold beneath. For skin quality, a hyperdilute preparation is dispersed across a broader area to stimulate diffuse collagen without adding discrete volume. Technique and placement matter as much as the product itself.
Natasha is a Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner with nine years of specialized aesthetic experience. She trained alongside plastic surgeons for seven years before focusing exclusively on non-surgical aesthetics, and that anatomical foundation shapes every Radiesse treatment she performs.
All three are excellent tools in the right hands, and we carry each one. Understanding how they differ helps you and Natasha choose the right approach for your face, or combine them.
A calcium hydroxylapatite filler that lifts immediately and stimulates your own collagen as it integrates. Not a hyaluronic acid filler, so it is not reversed with hyaluronidase. A thoughtful, longer-lasting option when the goal is structure and lasting skin quality.
Immediate and precise. Hyaluronic acid filler physically adds volume the day it is placed and can be dissolved if needed. Best for targeted concerns that benefit from same-day, reversible results.
A poly-L-lactic acid collagen stimulator. Adds no immediate volume; it works gradually over months as your body rebuilds collagen, for diffuse, full-face improvement in firmness and skin quality.
Many patients combine them. Radiesse and Sculptra rebuild structure and collagen, while targeted hyaluronic acid filler refines the details. Natasha builds the plan around your anatomy and goals.
From sharper structure to firmer skin, Radiesse is matched to the concern. Here is where Natasha uses it most.
Sharper definition along the jaw and a more balanced chin. Radiesse adds structural support exactly where the lower face has softened, with collagen building underneath over time.
Lift and contour through the cheeks and mid-face. Immediate support the day of treatment, followed by gradual collagen reinforcement in the months that follow.
Radiesse is FDA-approved to restore volume to the back of the hands, softening the look of prominent tendons and veins for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Diluted and dispersed across the neck, décolletage, or lower face, Radiesse stimulates collagen to firm and refine crepey, lax skin. Typically a short series for a soft, natural result.
Radiesse is FDA-approved for moderate-to-severe facial folds and for hand volume restoration. Other treatment areas are tailored to your anatomy and reviewed in full during consultation in Fort Lauderdale.
Your Radiesse appointment is unhurried and tailored to you. Treatment is performed by Natasha herself, there is no rotating team of injectors.
A complete facial assessment of your structure, volume, and skin quality. Natasha maps where Radiesse belongs and reviews exactly what to expect, including whether contour, hands, or hyperdilute skin tightening is the right approach for you.
Precise placement of Radiesse, comfortable and unhurried. The formulation we use includes lidocaine for comfort. You see immediate lift, and you will leave with simple aftercare guidance for the days that follow.
Lift and structure are visible right away. Collagen continues building over the following months, even after the gel is metabolized, so skin quality and structure can carry beyond the filler itself.
Radiesse rewards a thorough understanding of facial anatomy. Where it is placed, how much is used, and how it is layered directly determine whether the result reads as natural, lifted definition or something heavier and less refined.
Anatomy-first planning. Natasha maps your structure carefully and matches placement and volume to your specific aging pattern before placing a single injection.
Conservative by design. Radiesse builds collagen over time, so there is no need to overfill. Natasha treats for a natural result first, then refines, because structure should look like you, not like filler.
Education at every step. You will always understand what Radiesse is doing, how long to expect it to last, and how it fits alongside your other treatments.
