What is Radiesse?
Radiesse is an injectable collagen biostimulator made with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel.
For suitable facial or hand treatments, the gel can provide an initial change in fullness or contour. The CaHA particles also encourage collagen and elastin production over time. The way the product is prepared and placed depends on the treatment goal.
Important: Radiesse cannot be dissolved with the enzyme used for hyaluronic acid filler. Careful assessment and a considered treatment plan are essential.
Two stages of effect
Initial support, gradual skin response
At first: The gel may add structure or fullness where appropriate. Early swelling can affect how the area looks.
Over time: CaHA stimulates a collagen and elastin response. Results vary by individual and treatment area.
Décolletage: Diluted Radiesse is used for wrinkles and skin quality rather than conventional volume filling.

Helpful answers
Radiesse FAQs
What makes Radiesse a biostimulator?
Its CaHA particles encourage collagen and elastin production over time, alongside an initial structural effect in selected uses.
Is it the same treatment for the jawline and décolletage?
No. Structural contour treatment and diluted décolletage treatment use different preparation and placement for different goals.
When will I see a change?
Some initial change may be visible in structural treatments; swelling can affect the early appearance. Collagen-related changes develop more gradually.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on the area, degree of change and response. Dr Yash will outline a proposed plan at consultation.
Can Radiesse be dissolved?
No. The dissolving enzyme used for hyaluronic acid fillers does not dissolve Radiesse.
How long will results last?
Duration varies by product use, area and individual response. We will discuss realistic expectations for your plan rather than guarantee a fixed duration.
