What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is a filler that offers much more than just filling in wrinkles and restoring volume. Radiesse is a filler that stimulates the skin to rebuild collagen, thus improving skin quality and providing a more youthful appearance.

As we age, our skin loses the support structure of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the skin's firmness and elasticity. The skin cells that produce collagen and elastin become less active. These cells are called fibroblasts.

Radiesse acts as a scaffold that can re-stimulate fibroblast activity. The recipe for success lies in biologically active microspheres composed of calcium hydroxyapatite - CaHA. This stimulates the cells to produce new collagen type I and elastin. This step is crucial for ensuring skin firmness, elasticity and tension.

Radiesse can be used on the skin of the face, neck, hands and elsewhere on the body.

Who is a candidate?

We recommend Radiesse Rejuvenation to anyone who has noticed that their skin is no longer as tight as it used to be and wants natural results. It is suitable for men, women, both younger, i.e. after the age of 25, and older.

How long does it work?

The biggest advantage of Radiesse fillers is that they achieve only natural results, which are also long-lasting. Partial results can be seen immediately, but a clear improvement in skin condition occurs in about 6 weeks. The effect lasts for up to 12 months or more, and even up to 24 months.

The filler is fully absorbed over time and the skin stimulation continues quietly for months after application, leaving your skin looking more radiant, plump and youthful every day. Research has also shown that patient satisfaction is over 90% after 12 months.

About the procedure

Radiesse is applied as a filler, which means that small amounts of it are gently injected under your skin through a fine needle or cannula. Each procedure takes about 30 minutes and is painless, except for the puncture, which is a little uncomfortable and is soothed with ice or a local anaesthetic. The patient can work normally after the procedure, run errands, except excessive sun exposure is discouraged in the days following the procedure.

As with any needle procedure, there may be some minor bruising, which will disappear within a few days. Any slight swelling at the puncture sites will subside within a day or two. The procedure should not be performed on people with acute illness, inflamed skin, pregnant women or breastfeeding mothers.
