Radiesse
Aging is a privilege, but it can also be frustrating when the face and hands start to tell a story that doesn't match the way you feel inside. Many people begin their aesthetic journey with hyaluronic acid fillers, only to discover that over time, they're adding more and more product just to keep up. At Awaken Medical Aesthetics, we take a different approach. When volume loss and laxity reach a certain point, the answer isn't to keep chasing results with filler… It's to rebuild the collagen you've lost.
This is where Radiesse, a powerful collagen biostimulator, becomes a game-changing option for patients who want natural, long-lasting rejuvenation delivered with medical expertise and warm West Texas hospitality.
Our Philosophy: Restoring Your Skin's Foundation
When board-certified nurse practitioner, Kati Howard, MSN, FNP, consults with patients regarding facial aging, she goes to Radiesse for restoring the "ecosystem or scaffolding" of the skin. If the "ecosystem" is intact and optimal, all other treatments work better, including topical skincare. Starting in the mid-30s, Kati uses hyperdilute (HD) Radiesse to keep the collagen and elastin at their optimal levels. As we age, we manage the aging process and add another HD syringe yearly.
Weight loss is another important consideration. I recommend 1 syringe of HD Radiesse for every 10 pounds lost. We lose 6% of facial fat and volume in our faces for every 20 pounds lost. So there is a preventative aspect of HD Radiesse, and a corrective aspect.
This foundation-first approach is what sets our practice apart and delivers results that truly last.
The Aging Face and Hands: What's Really Changing?
As the years pass, your skin elasticity gradually becomes thinner, looser, and less resilient. This shift is driven by a slow decline in collagen growth, the protein that gives skin its structure, and elastin, which keeps it bouncy and able to snap back into place.
Early on, the loss is subtle: a faint line here, a little tiredness around the eyes, or a hint of hollowness in the cheeks. But by your late 30s and 40s, collagen depletion accelerates, showing up as:
- Skin laxity along the jawline
- Deepening folds around the mouth (smile lines / nasolabial folds)
- A deflated look in the midface, especially with flattened cheeks
- Crepey skin on the neck
- Visible tendons and veins on the hands
These changes aren't from "getting older" in the general sense. They're caused by an actual decline in the structural components that once kept your skin firm and lifted.
Deciding What You Need
When Dermal Fillers No Longer Work
Hyaluronic acid fillers can do incredible things when used appropriately. But there's a point for many patients where adding more filler doesn't look better. it just looks like more filler.
This is what we call chasing the needle.
If the underlying issue is collagen loss, restoring volume with temporary filler becomes less effective each time. At this stage, the goal isn't to keep filling; it's to stimulate your skin to rebuild itself.
Radiesse gives us the ability to do exactly that.
Collagen Stimulation with Radiesse
What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse is an FDA-approved collagen biostimulator designed to restore natural structure to the skin. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that simply add gel-based volume, Radiesse helps your body create new collagen, improving tone, texture, firmness, and lift over time.
What Is Radiesse Made From?
Radiesse is made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. Once injected, the gel provides immediate subtle volume, while the CaHA particles act as a scaffold that encourages your body to produce collagen and elastin in the months that follow.
The result is a gradual, refined, long-lasting rejuvenation that looks unmistakably natural.

How Radiesse Compares to Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
HA fillers are excellent for soft, discrete volume replacement: think lips, tear troughs, or shaping certain areas of the face.
Radiesse shines when the skin needs:
- Structural Support
- Firming
- Tissue Remodeling
- Longterm Collagen Restoration
Patients who begin to feel that their filler "doesn't last," "looks puffy," or "isn't giving lift anymore" often discover that Radiesse gives them results that feel more authentic, more refreshed, and more in harmony with their natural anatomy.
At Awaken Medical Aesthetics, we often use Radiesse to complement or replace traditional filler strategies when collagen loss is the true root of the concern.

Radiesse for Men
Men benefit greatly from Radiesse because its structural properties align well with the male anatomy. It can enhance the jawline, reduce deep lines without softening facial definition, and improve hollow or tired areas without adding obvious volume.
Many male patients appreciate that Radiesse:
- Builds firmness rather than puffiness
- Avoids the overfilled appearance they want to avoid
- Supports a strong, defined shape
- Produces results that improve gradually and discreetly
At Awaken Medical Aesthetics, we take a personalized approach to male aesthetics, focusing on balance, strength, and subtle rejuvenation that never looks feminine or unnatural.
