Areas Treated with Radiesse

At Livia Med Spa in Tampa, FL, your comfort and safety are our absolute priorities. For your Radiesse session, we apply a high-strength, medical-grade topical numbing cream to the target area prior to beginning the procedure. During the treatment, most patients report feeling pressure and a deep ache. We use topical numbing and mix the product with lidocaine to ensure a comfortable injection process. Overall, our clients find the procedure highly tolerable, and Angela Spicola, APRN will continuously monitor your comfort level, adjusting device settings to ensure a relaxed and pleasant experience from start to finish.

To achieve the absolute best outcome and long-lasting improvements, we typically recommend an initial series of 1 to 2 sessions, with results lasting 12 to 18 months. This allows the biological stimulation and dermal repair mechanisms to compound over time, leading to more structural and visible improvements. During your initial aesthetic consultation at our Tampa med spa, we will analyze your skin type and design a customized session protocol tailored specifically to your unique skin health goals.

The recovery process for Radiesse is minimal, with temporary swelling, tenderness, or bruising resolving in 3 to 7 days. Most clients return to work immediately after the session.

Radiesse is safe for all skin types and is ideal for clients looking for structural contouring (cheeks, jawline), hand rejuvenation, or tightening loose neck skin.

Many clients enjoy seeing an immediate lifting and contouring effect, with skin thickness, firmness, and texture improving progressively over 3 to 6 months.

Whether treatments can be combined depends on the procedures and your medical history. Discuss timing, risks, and alternatives with your provider before scheduling.
