Dermal fillers are a simple, efficient solution for reducing signs of aging and helping the face appear fuller and more youthful. One popular type is Radiesse®, which restores volume and stimulates collagen production, providing results in just one appointment. If you’re interested in this popular dermal filler, here’s what you need to know.
What Are Radiesse Dermal Fillers and How Do They Work?
Hyperdilute Radiesse® is a specially formulated version of the popular Radiesse® dermal filler, which contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. By diluting Radiesse® with a saline and lidocaine solution, it becomes more fluid, making it ideal for skin rejuvenation and subtle volumizing. Unlike traditional fillers, hyperdilute Radiesse® focuses on improving skin quality and elasticity while providing a natural lifting effect.
Radiesse® works by stimulating your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin—two essential proteins that keep your skin firm, plump, and youthful. When used in its hyperdiluted form, the treatment spreads more evenly under the skin, offering subtle improvements in texture, tone, and firmness while addressing sagging or thinning skin.
Benefits of Hyperdilute Radiesse®
1. Skin Tightening & Lifting: Encourages collagen production for long-lasting firmness.
2. Improves Skin Quality: Reduces crepiness and enhances skin texture.
3. Subtle, Natural Results: Creates a smoother, more youthful appearance without overfilling.
4. Minimal Downtime: Most patients resume normal activities within 24 hours.
5. Versatile: Effective for both facial and body rejuvenation.
What Areas Can Be Treated with Hyperdilute Radiesse?
Hyperdilute Radiesse® is incredibly versatile and can be used to rejuvenate several areas of the face and body, including:
•Face: Jawline, cheeks, and neck for tightening and smoothing.
•Neck & Décolletage: Reduces crepiness and firms loose skin.
•Hands: Restores volume and smooths fine lines.
•Body: Improves texture on areas such as the arms, thighs, and buttocks.
How Long Do the Results of Radiesse Last?
The results of hyperdilute Radiesse® can last up to 12–18 months, depending on your individual skin type, treatment area, and lifestyle. Because it stimulates collagen production, improvements continue to develop over several months, providing ongoing benefits.
The factors that influence the duration of the treatment include how severe your wrinkles are, how well you take care of your skin, and how quickly your body metabolizes the filler.
Does Radiesse Have Side Effects?
You may experience some minor side effects after receiving treatment with Radiesse, including redness around the injection site, itchy skin, minor bruising, and swelling. Tenderness around the area, including temporarily reduced movement, is normal, as are nodules forming around the injection site. These side effects should subside shortly after your treatment.
How Does Hyperdilute Radiesse® Compare to Other Fillers?
Unlike traditional fillers that focus solely on adding volume, hyperdilute Radiesse® offers the added benefit of collagen stimulation, which enhances skin quality over time. It’s particularly effective for areas that need rejuvenation rather than significant plumping.
