Radiesse® is an advanced injectable treatment that does more than simply add volume. It combines an immediate smoothing effect with longer-term skin rejuvenation, stimulating your skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin to improve its structure, firmness and elasticity over time.
The injection contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), a RADIESSE biostimulator substance that is naturally found in the body. Once injected, it provides support within the skin while encouraging the production of the proteins that help keep skin looking firm, smooth and resilient.
The result is a treatment that can help restore lost definition, soften lines and improve skin quality, with changes continuing to develop as your body produces new collagen and elastin.
RADIESSE® works in two ways. First, the treatment provides support beneath the facial skin, helping to smooth the appearance of fine lines and restore definition and volume where it has been lost.
Over the following weeks and months, Radiesse also stimulates your skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin. These proteins are essential for keeping skin firm, smooth and elastic, so as their production increases, the quality and appearance of the skin can continue to improve.
Rather than simply filling a line or adding volume, Radiesse works with your skin to develop progressively, with improvements in firmness, texture becoming more noticeable over time.
Radiesse® offers more than a temporary improvement in volume. By combining structural support with collagen and elastin stimulation, it can address visible signs of facial ageing while improving the quality and resilience of the skin itself.
✓ Stimulates collagen and elastin production to support firmer, more elastic skin over time
✓ Improves skin firmness and laxity, helping skin appear tighter and more supported
✓ Softens the appearance of moderate to severe lines and wrinkles, including deeper facial folds
✓ Restores definition and lost volume in areas where the face has become less structured with age
✓ Results continue to develop over time, as your skin responds to the treatment and produces new collagen and elastin
Radiesse® can be used to address changes in both facial structure and skin quality, with treatment tailored to the area and the result you want to achieve. Common treatment areas include:
Because Radiesse filler can be used in different areas across the face, your practitioner will assess your skin, facial structure and concerns before recommending the most appropriate approach.
Radiesse® may be right for you if you are beginning to notice changes in skin firmness, elasticity or facial structure and want to support the skin’s natural regenerative processes.
Radiesse collagen stimulating injections are also a great option if you have previously had traditional dermal filler but are now looking to address skin firmness and quality, rather than simply replace lost volume.
During your consultation, our experienced practitioners will assess your skin, discuss what you would like to improve and advise whether Radiesse filler is appropriate for you.
Your Radiesse® treatment starts with a consultation with one of our specialist Derma Revive Skin practitioners. They will assess the area you want to treat, your skin quality and your overall aesthetic goals. They will then determine where the Radiesse filler should be placed and how much product is appropriate to achieve a balanced result.
Before treatment, the skin is cleansed and prepared. The Radiesse filler is then carefully injected into the targeted areas. A local anaesthetic is typically used to make the treatment more comfortable.
The treatment time varies depending on the number and size of the areas being treated, but typically lasts between 30-60 minutes. You may experience some temporary redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising around the injection sites afterwards. These effects usually settle within a week as the skin recovers.
You’ll see some improvement in your skin firmness and texture immediately after your Radiesse treatment. As any initial swelling settles, the results become clearer, with the full effect typically visible within a week.
Radiesse then continues to work beneath the skin by stimulating your natural production of collagen and elastin, so your skin quality will continue to improve over time. Results can be long-lasting, with some patients enjoying the benefits for up to two years before a repeat treatment may be needed.
Radiesse® requires little downtime, and most people can return to their usual activities shortly after treatment. However, it is normal to experience some redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising around the injection sites, particularly during the first few days. These effects are temporary and should gradually settle within a week as the treated area recovers.
Your Derma Revive Skin practitioner will provide personalised aftercare advice, but you’ll be advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, bright sunlight, and pressure or massage around the treated area for at least 24 hours following treatment.
Both Radiesse® and Sculptra® are injectable collagen biostimulators that work with the skin’s natural processes to encourage collagen production, but they work in different ways and are suited to different treatment goals.
Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), which provides some immediate structural support while also stimulating collagen and elastin production. It is used to improve skin firmness, definition, lines and volume loss, as well as overall skin quality.
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and works by gradually stimulating your own collagen production. Results develop progressively, making it commonly used where a more gradual improvement in facial volume and skin quality is desired.
If you’re considering cosmetic injections, your consultation is an opportunity to discuss your skin, the areas you want to treat and the type of result you’re hoping to achieve. Our practitioners can then advise whether RADIESSE is appropriate for your individual needs.
Choosing an injectable treatment is about more than the product itself. Our experienced practitioners take the time to assess your skin, discuss your concerns and explain what Radiesse can realistically achieve before recommending a treatment plan.
With a wide range of advanced aesthetic treatments available across our London clinics, you can also benefit from a treatment plan that is tailored to your changing skin needs – whether Radiesse is your first injectable treatment or part of a wider approach to facial rejuvenation.
Ready to find out if Radiesse® is right for you?
What is Radiesse®?
Radiesse is a type of collagen biostimulator that contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), a mineral-like substance also found naturally in the body. It acts directly on cells inside the skin to replenish its natural reserves of collagen and elastin.
How long does Radiesse® last?
RADIESSE results can last up to two years, although longevity varies between individuals and depends on factors such as the treatment area, amount used and how your skin responds. Your practitioner can advise how long you may expect your results to last.
Is Radiesse® a filler?
Yes, Radiesse is a dermal filler and collagen-stimulating injectable treatment. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, it contains calcium hydroxylapatite and can stimulate your own collagen and elastin production while providing structural support.
What are Radiesse® side effects?
Common side effects of Radiesse include temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising and discomfort around the injection sites. These usually settle as the treated area recovers, although your practitioner will explain the potential risks before treatment.
How long does Radiesse® take to work?
Some improvement can be seen soon after Radiesse treatment, while the longer-term effects develop gradually over the following weeks and months.
How much does Radiesse® cost?
The cost of Radiesse treatment depends on the area being treated and the amount of collagen biostimulator required. See our current treatment price list or book a consultation to discuss your personalised treatment plan.
What is Radiesse® made of?
RADIESSE is made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a water-based gel carrier. Calcium hydroxylapatite is a biocompatible material that is naturally found in the body.
Where can Radiesse® be injected?
RADIESSE can be injected into facial areas including the cheeks, jawline, lower face, chin, nasolabial folds, neck, décolletage and backs of the hands.
How does Radiesse® differ from Profhilo?
Radiesse provides structural support while stimulating collagen and elastin production, helping to improve firmness, definition and volume loss. Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid-based injectable primarily used to improve skin hydration, elasticity and overall skin quality.
Can Radiesse® help restore facial volume after weight loss?
Yes. Rapid weight loss can lead to visible changes in the skin on the face, such as hollowness or sagging. RADIESSE helps your skin rebuild its own collagen, improving firmness, elasticity, and definition over time.
Is Radiesse® permanent?
The results of Radiesse are not permanent; however, they are incredibly long-lasting compared with other fillers. The majority of patients enjoy the results of this treatment for an average of 12 to 18 months.
