Radiesse
Collagen Stimulating Dermal Filler
Radiesse is a next-generation dermal filler that not only smooths lines and wrinkles instantly, but also stimulates your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production, giving longer-lasting, firmer, more youthful-looking results.
Radiesse is a unique injectable treatment made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. It delivers an immediate volumising effect while encouraging your skin to rebuild its own supportive structure over time.
This dual-action treatment works deep within the dermis to stimulate the production of collagen for up to 12 months and elastin for up to 9 months after just one session. As the gel naturally breaks down, it is gradually replaced by your body’s own firm, fibrous network, leaving you with smoother, lifted, and more resilient skin.
FAQ
Q: What is Radiesse and how does it work?
A: Radiesse is a biostimulatory dermal filler made with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. It provides immediate volume and contouring, while stimulating your body to produce collagen and elastin over time.
Q: What areas can be treated with Radiesse?
A: Radiesse is commonly used to treat chin and jawline contour.
Q: How long do results last?
A: Results can last up to 12 months or longer. The collagen and elastin your body produces after treatment continue to support your skin long after the initial filler is absorbed.
Q: Is the treatment painful?
A: A local anaesthetic (lidocaine) is often combined with the product. Most patients report only mild discomfort during the procedure.
Q: What is the downtime?
A: Minimal. You may experience some swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site, which usually resolves within a few days.
Q: Is Radiesse safe?
A: Yes, Radiesse is FDA-approved and has a strong safety profile when administered by a qualified medical professional.
Q: How is Radiesse different from other fillers?
A: Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse not only adds volume but also stimulates collagen and elastin production for longer-term structural improvement.
Q: Can Radiesse be dissolved?
A: Radiesse is not dissolvable like hyaluronic acid fillers, so precise placement by a trained medical professional is essential. A thorough consultation is always carried out before treatment.
