Radiesse in Culver City, CA
Rewind Aesthetics in Culver City offers radiesse injections to restore facial volume and smooth moderate to severe wrinkles. This unique dermal filler not only provides immediate correction but also stimulates your body's own natural collagen production for long-lasting improvement. Our experienced injectors customize each treatment to help you achieve a refreshed, natural-looking appearance without surgery.
What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler composed of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel carrier. Once injected, it provides immediate volume and correction to treated areas. Over time, the CaHA microspheres stimulate your body to produce its own natural collagen, providing a long-term structural framework for your skin.
Your Radiesse Treatment Experience
Radiesse is a versatile injectable used to smooth moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, and to restore volume in the back of the hands. At our Culver City practice, we offer both radiesse + for structural lifting and radiesse Hyperdilute Face for improving skin quality. Your provider will help determine the ideal approach for your goals.
Your Consultation and Preparation
Your Personalized Consultation
Your journey begins with a private consultation with one of our skilled injectors at Rewind Aesthetics. We will discuss your aesthetic goals, evaluate your facial anatomy, and determine if radiesse is the right treatment to achieve your desired outcome. This is the perfect time to ask questions and help us design your customized treatment plan.
Pre-Treatment Guidelines
To ensure optimal results and minimize bruising, we advise you to avoid certain medications and supplements like blood thinners, aspirin, and fish oil for a few days before your appointment. We will provide a full list of recommendations during your consultation.
Arriving for Your Session
Please arrive at our Culver City clinic with a clean, makeup-free face on the day of your procedure. Your injector will cleanse the treatment area again before beginning the injections to ensure a sterile environment. Your comfort and safety are our top priorities.
The Radiesse Injection Process
During Your Appointment
Your radiesse treatment is a straightforward, in-office process typically completed in under an hour. Your injector will begin by confirming the treatment plan and marking the specific areas on your face or hands that will be enhanced.
Ensuring Your Comfort
We use radiesse +, which is formulated with lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to enhance comfort during the injection process. For added comfort, a topical numbing cream may also be applied to the treatment area beforehand to ensure a pleasant experience.
Strategic Injection Technique
Using a fine needle or cannula, your provider will carefully inject small amounts of radiesse into the predetermined sites. The technique is precise, aiming to restore volume and create smooth, natural-looking contours that complement your unique facial features.
Assessment and Completion
You will see an immediate improvement in the treated areas as the filler adds volume. The injector may gently massage the area to ensure the product is evenly distributed, completing the session once the desired correction is achieved.

There is typically minimal downtime following radiesse injections. You may experience some mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which usually resolves within a few days. You can generally return to your normal activities immediately, though we advise avoiding strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for 24-48 hours.
Your Treatment Results Timeline
Initial volumizing results from radiesse are visible immediately after your treatment. The secondary benefit of collagen stimulation becomes apparent over the following weeks and months as your skin's structure improves from within. For most patients, results can last a year or more.
