Radiesse®, developed by German manufacturer Merz Aesthetics, is an advanced biostimulator that helps your skin regenerate from within by stimulating natural collagen and elastin production.

    • Composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres in a biocompatible gel
    • Treats facial volume loss, deep lines, and ageing hands
    • Offers immediate volume plus long-term skin regeneration
    • Delivers natural-looking results that evolve gradually — not an overfilled appearance

     

    How Radiesse® Works

     

    Radiesse® has a unique dual-action mechanism:

     

    - Immediate Volume Effect

    • The gel carrier (carboxymethylcellulose) provides instant structure and lift
    • Smooths wrinkles and restores facial or hand contours right after injection

    - Biostimulation Phase

    • The CaHA microspheres stimulate your body to produce new collagen (neocollagenesis)
    • Triggers natural regeneration within the skin's deeper layers

    - Collagen Remodelling (over the following weeks and months):

    • The gel carrier is slowly absorbed
    • Types I and III collagen are synthesised
    • Skin becomes firmer, denser, and more elastic

    • Arrive with a clean face, free of makeup or skincare products.
    Post-Treatment Advice▼
    • Apply cold compresses to injection sites for approximately 24 hours to reduce swelling.
    • Avoid makeup, skincare, touching treated areas, or strenuous exercise for 24 hours post-treatment.
    • Avoid intense heat (e.g., saunas, steam rooms, sunbeds) or UV light until healing is complete.

    • Avoid excessive alcohol 24 hours before and after treatment.
    • For hand treatments, avoid heavy objects and remove jewelry, rings, or watches until swelling resolves.
