Radiesse
in Tampa, FL

If you’re seeking to restore facial volume and tighten sagging skin, Radiesse in Tampa, FL at LIVIA Med Spa offers an advanced dermal filler and collagen biostimulator that yields immediate lifting and progressive skin rejuvenation. Every treatment is performed personally by Angela Spicola, APRN, serving clients throughout Tampa, South Tampa, Hyde Park, Westchase, Carrollwood, and Hillsborough County.

What Is Radiesse

Radiesse is an FDA-approved injectable dermal filler comprised of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. It is uniquely classified as a biostimulatory filler, meaning it does much more than just occupy space beneath the skin. When injected, Radiesse provides immediate, structural volume and lifting. Over time, the CaHA microspheres act as a supportive scaffold, stimulating your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin.

As the initial gel carrier is gradually absorbed by your body, it is replaced by a dense network of your own newly synthesized collagen fibers. This dual-action mechanism provides long-lasting, highly natural results. Radiesse is exceptionally effective for contouring the jawline, restoring volume to the cheeks, and rejuvenating aging hands. Results are immediate and continue to improve over several months, lasting 12 to 18 months or longer.

At LIVIA Med Spa, Angela Spicola, APRN also specializes in hyperdiluted Radiesse. By diluting the product, it is transformed into a pure skin-rejuvenating agent that is swept shallowly across the face, neck, decollete, and body. This technique does not add bulk; instead, it targets crepey skin, smoothing out fine lines and tightening laxity through intense collagen and elastin stimulation.

What Does Radiesse Treat

Radiesse at LIVIA Med Spa is an incredibly versatile treatment that addresses structural volume loss and skin laxity:

• Deep smile lines (nasolabial folds) and marionette lines
• Hollow cheeks and mid-face volume depletion
• Weak or sagging jawlines, providing structural contouring
• Chin wrinkles and volume enhancement
• Aging hands, restoring volume to hide prominent veins and tendons
• Crepey skin and mild laxity on the neck, decollete, and body (via hyperdiluted Radiesse)

How the Radiesse Process Works

Your Radiesse treatment at LIVIA Med Spa starts with a thorough, personalized consultation with Angela Spicola, APRN. Angela will analyze your facial anatomy, evaluate structural volume loss, and discuss your aesthetic goals to curate a customized treatment plan. To ensure your comfort, Radiesse is typically mixed with lidocaine (a local anesthetic) and a topical numbing cream can be applied to the treatment zones beforehand.

Using a precise injection technique, Angela administers Radiesse into the deep dermal layers or sweeps it shallowly across the skin for biostimulation. The procedure takes approximately 30–45 minutes depending on the areas treated. Results are visible immediately, showing instant lift and contour. After treatment, some mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur, which typically resolves over a few days. There is minimal downtime, and most clients return to work or social settings the next day.

Aftercare

Following proper aftercare instructions helps minimize swelling, protect the product, and support the body’s natural collagen production process.

• Apply cold packs gently to the treated areas for 15-20 minutes at a time to reduce swelling
• Avoid rubbing, massaging, or placing firm pressure on the injection sites for 24 hours
• Postpone strenuous exercise and intense heat exposure (saunas, hot tubs) for 24-48 hours
• Limit direct sun exposure and wear SPF 30+ daily to protect your skin
• Avoid sleeping face-down; try to sleep on your back with your head elevated for 2–3 nights
• Skip blood-thinning supplements and alcohol for 24-48 hours to minimize bruising risks

Initial structural results are visible immediately. Over the next 2 to 3 months, you will notice progressive improvements in skin quality, thickness, and elasticity as your natural collagen network builds.

Radiesse in Tampa — Frequently Asked Questions

How is Radiesse different from hyaluronic acid fillers?

Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are soft gels that attract water to add volume, and they can be dissolved if needed. Radiesse is made of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. It is much firmer, making it ideal for creating structural bone-like support (like a sharper jawline or cheekbones). Additionally, Radiesse actively stimulates your body’s own collagen and elastin production for longer-lasting, structural skin rejuvenation.

What is hyperdiluted Radiesse?

Hyperdiluted Radiesse is a technique where the filler is diluted with saline and lidocaine. Rather than adding localized volume or lifting, this thin mixture is swept just beneath the skin’s surface. It acts as an intensive collagen-stimulating wash that tightens loose, crepey skin and improves overall skin texture on the face, neck, chest, and body.

When will I see results and how long do they last?

For volume and contouring, structural results are visible immediately. The biostimulatory effects (collagen production) develop progressively over 2 to 3 months. Radiesse results are exceptionally durable, typically lasting 12 to 18 months or even longer, depending on the treatment area and your metabolism.

Is there downtime after a Radiesse treatment?

Downtime is minimal. Most clients experience mild swelling, tenderness, and redness at the injection sites, which typically resolve within 24 to 72 hours. Minor bruising can also occur but is easily covered with makeup the following day.
