Rebuild the collagen scaffold underneath your skin. Radiesse works gradually, results that look like skin quality, not product. Planned in a series, calibrated to your skin, paced to your calendar.
Biostimulatory fillers like Radiesse stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, improving skin firmness, texture, and structure gradually over time.
At Caridi Concierge, these physician-led treatments are performed by Dr. Caridi as private in-home visits (or in our Gowanus clinic), designed to restore lift and skin quality across the face, neck, chest, and arms without adding bulk or weight.
Calcium hydroxylapatite. Provides immediate contour plus collagen stimulation. Built for the jawline, chin, and hands; not for delicate areas.
Radiesse diluted further to improve skin quality over broader areas. Less contour, more collagen, used on the neck, décolletage, and arms.
Rebuild collagen support in the upper cheek, restoring the angle that drops with time.
Define the jawline and soften deeper folds with subtle, structural lift, not bulk.
Smooth crepey skin and horizontal lines by stimulating new collagen.
Restore elasticity and even tone on sun-exposed chest skin — gradually, with hyperdilute Radiesse.
Firm and refine loose skin on the upper arms with hyperdilute placement over a series.
Add volume and structural lift to the buttocks while stimulating long-term collagen.
“Biostimulators help your body to build collagen, adding structure and support over time.”
We map where collagen is thinning, set realistic timelines, and plan a series. Biostim is staged work — most plans run two to three visits over 6–12 weeks.
Topical anesthetic, sterile prep, photographs from three angles for your chart and a baseline for future comparison.
Injections placed by Dr. Caridi personally — typically via cannula across broad areas. Calm, conservative, never rushed.
Pricing varies with anatomy, product, and the visit length we plan together. The figures below are typical ranges, your final plan, with cost, is reviewed before any product is opened.
* Concierge service includes travel within Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. Studio visits in Gowanus. Series and bundled visits are quoted at consultation.
Localized for 24–48 hours. Radiesse tends to be mild.
Possible. Usually mild and most visible days 2–4. Arnica and cold compress may help.
Most clients describe the area as briefly sore for a day.
Most clients return to work the same afternoon. Plan camera-on meetings 2–3 days out if swelling is a concern. Final results unfold over months — not days.

Biostimulatory fillers are injectables that stimulate your body’s natural collagen production rather than simply adding volume. They gradually improve skin thickness, elasticity, and contour for long-lasting rejuvenation.
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, biostimulatory fillers such as Radiesse use calcium hydroxylapatite or poly-L-lactic acid microspheres to trigger collagen formation. Over time, this new collagen builds a natural support structure beneath the skin.
You may notice subtle improvement soon after treatment, but the main results develop gradually over several weeks to months as new collagen forms. The full effect is typically seen by three to six months.
Because these fillers stimulate collagen, results can last up to two years or more. Many patients schedule maintenance treatments every 18 to 24 months to preserve collagen levels and extend the results.
Yes. When administered by a qualified medical professional, biostimulatory fillers are safe and effective. Side effects such as mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness are temporary. Since the product stimulates your own collagen, results appear natural and improve over time.
Biostimulatory fillers are ideal for restoring structure and firmness to the cheeks, jawline, temples, and lower face. They can also improve skin texture on the neck and décolletage. These fillers are not typically used in the lips or tear troughs.
Frequently staged with biostimulators — HA filler restores volume now while collagen rebuilds underneath.
Softens expression lines while biostim does the long-game work on skin quality and structure.
