About RADIESSE®

Dr. Watt and their skilled team offer the leading non-surgical treatments in Tampa Bay. RADIESSE is one of the many fillers we recommend for treating fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss. Learn more about the benefits below.

What is RADIESSE?

RADIESSE is a small, injectable dermal filler. It’s used to minimize the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and lost volume in the back of the hands. The formula consists of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHa) microspheres in an aqueous gel carrier. It works as a collagen stimulator, increasing your skin’s natural collagen creating process. Collagen production declines as we age, leading to thin, wrinkly, and uneven skin.

Improvement in the appearance of your skin will be visible immediately after treatment. However, after injection, RADIESSE continues to work with the fibroblasts beneath the skin’s surface. This leads to consistent, lasting collagen production, restoring volume to aging skin. As fine lines and wrinkles get filled in with collagen, they’ll become significantly less noticeable. As time passes after treatment, the RADIESSE formula naturally metabolizes in the body. It’s non-toxic and safe for your body to absorb.

What are the benefits of RADIESSE?

RADIESSE offers multiple benefits as a cosmetic treatment, including:

  • Collagen growth stimulation that continues long after the time of injection for results that last a year or more
  • Results that are visible immediately after treatment, with full improvement being visible just a week after treatment
  • Natural, non-artificial results for more youthful-looking skin
  • Fast treatment process, typically completed in just 15 minutes with no downtime
  • Formula that’s non-toxic, non-allergenic, and made without animal products

It is an effective treatment option for women and men struggling with lost volume in the lower face and hands. Contact our Tampa, FL office today to learn if this treatment is right for you.

What can RADIESSE be used for?

RADIESSE can be used to improve the appearance of skin on the lower face and hands. In the hands, it can restore lost volume due to aging and minimize the appearance of tendons and veins.

In the lower face, it can reduce the appearance of:

  • Nasolabial folds (also called “smile lines”)
  • Pre-jowl folds
  • Marionette lines
  • Corners of the mouth
  • Chin wrinkles

I had my breast augmentation in December 2025 by Dr Watts, and I genuinely couldn’t be happier with my results! My breasts have healed beautifully. My confidence has absolutely soared, and I finally feel comfortable wearing certain clothes and feel feminine and put together for the first time. It’s amazing what a nice set of boobies can do for a girl lolAfter losing around 50 pounds, I finally decided to do something I had wanted since I was a little girl. All my friends seemed to develop breasts growing up, and I never did. Even when I gained weight, they never really grew. I went from a sad little A cup to a D cup after surgery and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome!Beyond my results, the entire team was incredible. The doctors, anesthesiologists, nurses, and everyone else involved made this such a positive experience. I’m so grateful I chose this practice and would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering breast augmentation. Thank you for helping me feel more confident and beautiful in my own skin! 💕

I had my breast augmentation with Dr.Girardot and could not have imagined a better experience.The whole staff at Watt has been so nice throughout the whole process and made me feel so comfortable. My results came out amazing, Dr.Girardot really has a way of choosing the perfect implant. I came in with a few pictures and trusted her to make the best choice for my body and I feel amazing!! I couldn’t be any happier!

I was very skeptical about getting breast augmentation because my biggest fear was that my breasts would look unnatural. I had wanted to have the surgery for years, but I was always too afraid to actually go through with it.Then my best friend found Dr. Watt after hearing so many great things about him. She had her surgery with him first, loved her results, and eventually convinced me to finally do it too. I’m SO glad I did!It’s been 5 months now, and my breasts look incredibly natural. I was already getting compliments after just one month, and my husband is completely obsessed with the results. 😂 Most importantly, I feel like they fit my body perfectly and don’t have that obvious “implant” look that I was so afraid of.The entire team was wonderful. I absolutely loved my anesthesiologist and nurse, and Dr. Watt is seriously a magician. I felt well informed about what to expect throughout the entire process. I won’t say the recovery was easy—the first two weeks were definitely the hardest—but everything I experienced was within what I had been told to expect.If you’re considering breast augmentation but are nervous like I was, I can’t recommend Dr. Watt enough. I only wish I had done mine sooner!

Dr Girardot is amazing . I met her following another surgical consult that didn’t go as planned. She listened to my concerns and what my goals were and executed perfectly. She explained everything along the way, was very easy to communicate with, and called me following surgery and during my post op recovery to check in on me. I can’t recommend her and her team enough. I am very happy with my outcome and the overall process from her team. Thank you all

I am truly impressed with Dr. Watt and his entire team. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the professionalism, warmth, and genuinely positive culture of the practice.Today, Nurse Practitioner Alex expertly administered my Botox with exceptional attention to detail. She was not only highly skilled, but also took the time to ensure I was comfortable, understood the treatment, and completely satisfied with the results. She made the entire experience enjoyable.A couple of weeks ago, NP Morgan performed my Halo laser treatment, and I was equally impressed. Her expertise, thoughtful approach, and personalized guidance made me feel incredibly well cared for throughout the process.It is clear that Dr. Watts has built a team of experts, talented professionals who genuinely care about their patients and take pride in what they do. I highly recommend this practice to anyone considering cosmetic treatments. Outstanding professionals, exceptional care, and a truly positive experience. Kudos to Dr. Watts and his team!

How much does RADIESSE cost?

The cost of RADIESSE varies depending on the amount required to achieve your aesthetic goals.

We’ll also provide a detailed price estimate and discuss payment options to fit your budget.

Is numbing necessary for RADIESSE treatments?

Most patients find RADIESSE injections comfortable without the need for numbing. However, if you prefer, we can apply a local anesthetic to enhance your comfort. While some patients may experience a brief, mild sensation when the needle is inserted, this discomfort typically fades quickly.

Can RADIESSE be combined with other treatments?

RADIESSE is often used alongside other injectables to achieve comprehensive results, such as in a liquid facelift. Many patients choose to pair RADIESSE with wrinkle relaxers or additional fillers for enhanced facial rejuvenation. During your consultation, our team will recommend complementary treatments to help you achieve your ideal look.
