Radiesse Explained: How Does This Collagen-Stimulating Treatment Work?
If you're exploring aesthetic treatments to help your skin look firmer, smoother and more youthful, you may have come across Radiesse. But what is it, how does it work, and could it be suitable for you?
In this guide, we'll explain Radiesse, its potential benefits and what to consider before booking a treatment.
What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse is an injectable treatment containing calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. It can provide structural support and volume in suitable treatment areas while also stimulating the body's natural collagen response.
Unlike treatments that focus solely on adding volume, Radiesse can also be used as a biostimulator, helping support improvements in skin firmness and quality over time.
The most appropriate approach depends on your individual concerns, the area being treated and your practitioner's assessment.
How Does Radiesse Work?
Radiesse works in two ways, depending on how it is used.
1. Immediate structural support
The gel carrier and calcium hydroxylapatite particles can provide immediate support and volume when used for appropriate indications.
2. Collagen stimulation
Over time, the calcium hydroxylapatite can stimulate your body's natural collagen production. Collagen helps provide structure to the skin, and gradual changes may support a firmer, smoother-looking appearance.
Results vary between individuals and develop according to the treatment technique and your body's response.
What Areas Can Radiesse Treat?
Depending on the intended use and your suitability, Radiesse may be considered for:
Facial contouring: Supporting structure and definition in suitable areas.
Volume loss: Addressing selected areas where additional support may be appropriate.
Skin quality: When used in an appropriate formulation, supporting improvements in skin firmness and texture.
Not every technique is suitable for every area. A qualified practitioner should explain the available options, expected results and risks before treatment.
How Long Does Radiesse Last?
Results can last a year or longer in some people, although longevity depends on the treatment area, technique, amount used and individual factors.
Collagen-related changes develop gradually, so your results may continue to evolve after your appointment. Your practitioner can explain what to expect and whether further treatment may be appropriate.
Is Radiesse Right for You?
Radiesse isn't suitable for everyone. Your medical history, skin concerns, treatment goals and any contraindications must be considered before proceeding. As with other injectable treatments, side effects and complications are possible.
At EJ Cosmetics in Portsmouth, a consultation can help you understand whether Radiesse or an alternative treatment is appropriate for your needs.
