How Does It Work?

  • Lower face - strengthens skin, improves laxity, and enhances contour

  • Jawline - adds structure, definition, and support

  • Chin - improves projection and balances facial proportions

  • Nasolabial folds - softens deeper expression lines

  • Marionette lines - lifts and supports the lower face

  • Cheeks - restores volume and improves mid‑face support

  • Neck - thickens thinning skin and improves crepey texture

  • Décolletage - rejuvenates sun‑damaged or thinning skin

  • Hands - restores volume and improves visible tendons/veins

  • Arms - strengthens lax or thinning skin

  • Abdomen - improves crepey or post‑pregnancy skin

  • Buttocks - enhances firmness and improves skin quality

  • Knees - tightens crepey skin and improves texture

Radiesse is a collagen‑stimulating injectable that works by restoring structure, volume, and firmness to areas of the face, neck, and body. It contains calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a smooth gel; once injected, the gel provides immediate lift while the microspheres activate your fibroblasts to produce fresh collagen and elastin over time. As the gel gradually dissipates, your own newly formed collagen remains, creating long‑lasting improvements in skin thickness, elasticity, contour, and overall quality. This makes Radiesse ideal for strengthening lax or thinning skin, improving definition, and delivering natural‑looking rejuvenation.

When Will I See Results?

How Long Do Results Last?

Radiesse provides a dual‑phase result: an immediate improvement followed by deeper, long‑lasting rejuvenation. You’ll see an instant lifting and smoothing effect as the gel adds structure and volume right away. Over the following 6-12 weeks, the calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres stimulate your fibroblasts to produce fresh collagen and elastin, gradually strengthening the skin and improving firmness, elasticity, and overall quality. This collagen‑building phase is what makes Radiesse results look increasingly natural and refined as the weeks progress.

Radiesse results are long‑lasting because the treatment doesn’t just add volume, it stimulates your fibroblasts to produce fresh collagen and elastin. The immediate lifting effect from the gel typically lasts 3-6 months, while the collagen‑building phase creates deeper structural improvements that can remain visible for 12-24 months. Many clients enjoy strengthened, firmer skin well beyond a year, and some choose annual maintenance to keep collagen levels high and results consistently refined.

​These are temporary and may include:

  • Swelling - mild puffiness around the injection sites, usually settling within a few days

  • Bruising - common with deeper structural injections, fading within a week

  • Tenderness - a sore or heavy feeling as the product integrates

  • Redness - temporary flushing at injection points

  • Firmness - a structured or “thickened” feel as collagen stimulation begins

  • Lumps or nodules - usually small and temporary; often resolves as the product settles

  • Itching - mild and short‑lived during early healing

  • Sensitivity - the area may feel tight or tender for several days

Before Your Treatment

You'll have a consultation where you'll be asked to fill out a form detailing your:

  • Medical history

  • Medication or supplement use

  • Allergies

  • Previous treatments

  • Current skin condition

You can complete this form in the clinic or in advance by clicking Health Form at the top of this page.

Common Side Effects

  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding

  • You have active skin infections - including cold sores, dermatitis, or any infection in the treatment area

  • You have an autoimmune or connective tissue disorder - may affect healing or collagen response

  • You have severe allergies - particularly to injectable components or lidocaine if used

  • You have a bleeding disorder - increased risk of bruising or complications

You Are Not Suitable For Treatment If:

  • You've had recent strong aesthetic treatments - recent laser, RF, peels, or microneedling may require a waiting period

  • You have active acne or inflammation - injections should not be placed into inflamed or infected skin

  • You have uncontrolled medical conditions - such as uncontrolled diabetes or immune‑related illnesses

  • You have a history of granulomas - higher risk of nodules with collagen‑stimulating injectables

First 24-48 Hours:

  • Expect swelling or tenderness - normal as the gel integrates and tissue settles

  • Avoid touching or massaging - unless your practitioner has specifically instructed otherwise

  • Avoid strenuous exercise - reduces risk of swelling and bruising

  • Avoid heat exposure - no saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, or very hot showers

  • Avoid alcohol - helps minimise swelling and bruising

  • Use gentle skincare only - no active ingredients or exfoliants

  • Avoid makeup on injection sites - for at least 12-24 hours to reduce infection risk

  • Apply cold compresses if needed - short intervals only, to ease swelling

Aftercare Instructions

First 1-2 Weeks:

  • Avoid facial treatments - no peels, microneedling, laser, or RF until fully settled

  • Avoid strong skincare actives - retinoids, acids, vitamin C, scrubs, or harsh products

  • Expect firmness or thickness - normal as collagen stimulation begins

  • Maintain daily SPF - protects healing tissue and prevents pigmentation

  • Stay hydrated - supports collagen production and skin quality

  • Avoid dental work - for 1-2 weeks if injections were placed around the lower face
