Radiesse is an injectable treatment made with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. It can provide structure and volume in certain treatment areas and stimulate the body's natural collagen production, depending on how it is used.

How long do Radiesse results last?

Radiesse results can last for a year or longer in some patients, but longevity varies according to the treatment area, amount used, technique and individual factors. Your practitioner can discuss realistic expectations during a consultation.

Does Radiesse stimulate collagen production?

Yes. Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres that can stimulate the body's natural collagen response. Collagen production takes time, so any changes in skin firmness or quality develop gradually and vary between individuals.

Is Radiesse suitable for everyone?

No. Radiesse is not suitable for everyone. Suitability depends on your medical history, treatment goals, the area being treated and other individual factors. A qualified practitioner must assess you before treatment and explain potential risks, alternatives and contraindications.

What are the possible side effects of Radiesse?

Possible side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, pain or tenderness. More serious complications can occur with injectable treatments, including vascular occlusion. Seek urgent medical attention for severe or worsening pain, skin colour changes or any visual symptoms after treatment.

If you’ve been looking into skin rejuvenation treatments and want to improve the appearance of ageing, lax or tired-looking skin, you may have come across Radiesse. But what exactly is it, and how does it work?

In this guide, we explain what is Radiesse, what the treatment involves and why it has become a popular option for people looking to support firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

What Is Radiesse?

Radiesse is an injectable treatment containing calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. It is used in aesthetic medicine to provide structure and volume while also supporting the skin's natural collagen and elastin production.

Unlike traditional dermal fillers that are primarily used to add volume, Radiesse can also be used as a biostimulator, helping to improve the overall quality and firmness of the skin over time.

How Does Radiesse Work?

One of the reasons people choose Radiesse is that it can offer both an immediate and longer-term effect.

The treatment can provide structure and support to targeted areas, while the calcium hydroxylapatite stimulates the skin's natural regenerative processes.

As collagen production increases, the skin may gradually appear:

Firmer and more supported
Smoother
More youthful-looking
Improved in overall skin quality

Results develop over time as your body's natural collagen response takes place.

What Areas Can Radiesse Treat?

Depending on your individual needs and suitability, Radiesse treatment can be used in different areas of the face and body.

It may be considered for areas where you want to improve skin firmness, structure or overall quality. Your practitioner will assess your skin and discuss the most appropriate treatment approach during your consultation.

Is Radiesse a Dermal Filler or a Bio-Stimulator?

Radiesse is both a dermal filler and a collagen-stimulating injectable, depending on how it is used.

When used in a traditional filler application, it can provide structure and volume. When diluted and used for skin rejuvenation, it can be used as a biostimulator to support improvements in skin quality.

This makes Radiesse a versatile treatment for people who want more than simply added volume.
