How Much Does Radiesse Cost? Complete Breakdown

Radiesse is a dermal filler made from a calcium-based gel. It smooths facial wrinkles and folds, along with restoring lost volume in areas such as the back of the hands. Unlike many fillers that only add temporary plumpness, Radiesse also stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, leading to firmer, long-lasting results. 

At Sarasota Surgical Arts, Dr. Alberico Sessa provides Radiesse treatments tailored to your needs.  Whether you’re looking to soften smile lines, define your jawline, or rejuvenate aging hands, he focuses on creating natural, balanced results with transparent pricing. Patients also benefit from his surgical expertise, ensuring safe, precise injection techniques and long-lasting outcomes.

What Does Radiesse Cost in 2025?

The prices can roughly be between $650–$1,000+ per 1.5 mL syringe in many U.S. markets, with patient-reported totals averaging about $1,257 (ranges vary widely by area and how many syringes you need).  Here is the detailed breakdown by each U.S. state:

Why Do Prices Vary So Much?

• Volume & areas treated: most patients need 1–2 syringes for folds or jawline refinement. More volume means a higher total. (Your plan is customized in consultation.)
• Syringe size: the common 1.5 mL syringe means the per-syringe price looks higher, but the per-mL value can be comparable to HA fillers.
• Injector expertise & technique: advanced shaping (e.g., jawline, chin, hands) and cannula techniques can command higher fees.
• Geography & overhead: big-city clinics and destination practices price higher than smaller markets. Patient-reported and clinic-posted prices show broad U.S. variation. 

Is Radiesse Safe?

When injected by an experienced, qualified provider like Dr. Sessa, it has an established safety profile and FDA clearance for facial folds and the dorsum of the hands. Like all fillers, it can cause swelling, bruising, or rare nodules; skill and technique matter.

Important difference: Radiesse cannot be simply dissolved with hyaluronidase (the enzyme used to reverse HA fillers). If correction is needed, options include massage, time, or physician-directed measures.

Is It Worth It?

If your treatment goals include structural support and collagen stimulation in areas such as the nasolabial folds, chin, jawline, or hands, Radiesse presents a strong value proposition. Its effects typically last 12 to 18 months or longer, and the additional collagen production provides extended benefits beyond the initial correction. 

However, if the ability to reverse treatment instantly is a priority, or if you are considering areas like the lips or tear troughs, a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler may be the more suitable, and often more cost-effective option.

Bottom Line

Radiesse typically costs $650 to $1,000 or more per syringe, with national averages near $1,257. Its longer duration of effect, often 12 to 18 months or beyond, combined with its collagen-stimulating properties, makes it particularly valuable for patients seeking hand rejuvenation or enhancement of lower-face contours.
