Calcium hydroxylapatite that lifts immediately and stimulates collagen afterwards. Hyperdiluted, it treats skin quality across larger areas.
Radiesse does two things at once. The gel carrier gives immediate lift, and the calcium microspheres left behind stimulate collagen as that carrier absorbs over the following months.
That makes it useful where you want structure — jawline, chin, temples — and results that keep improving rather than fading from day one.
Hyperdilute Radiesse is a different use of the same product: heavily diluted and spread across a broad area to improve skin quality rather than add volume. It is the version to ask about for crepey neck, chest, or hands.
Loss of bone support and dermal collagen shows as a softened jaw and crepey texture.
The gel lifts immediately while calcium microspheres settle into the dermis as a collagen scaffold.
As the carrier absorbs, your own collagen takes over — so the result holds rather than deflating.
Step 01
Free. We decide between standard and hyperdilute based on whether you need volume or skin quality.
Step 02
Topical numbing; the product contains lidocaine.
Step 03
Cannula for broad areas, needle for precise structural placement.
Step 04
Immediate lift, with collagen developing over about three months.
It is a different material — calcium-based — and it stimulates collagen. It is firmer, so it suits structural work, but it cannot be dissolved.
The same product diluted heavily and spread thinly across a large area. It does not add volume; it improves skin thickness and texture. Good for neck, chest, and hands.
No. There is no reversal agent for calcium hydroxylapatite, which is why placement and conservative dosing matter and why we do not use it in lips.
Immediately from the gel, then a second phase of improvement over about three months as collagen builds.
Twelve to eighteen months typically, and often longer where collagen stimulation has been significant.
One patient at a time, by appointment. No packages, no pressure, and an honest answer even when it isn’t the one that books.
