Stimulators - calcium hydroxyapatite (Radiesse)

Radiesse is a state-of-the-art calcium hydroxyapatite-based tissue stimulator for effective facial rejuvenation and reshaping. This treatment not only immediately improves the appearance of the skin, but also stimulates its internal reconstruction, boosting the natural production of collagen. As a result, the effects last long after the treatment, and the skin becomes denser, firmer and more resilient.

Radiesse - an effective way to rejuvenate and improve contours

Calcium hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring substance in the human body - it is the building block of teeth and bones. This makes it biocompatible, safe and well tolerated by the skin, with no risk of allergic reactions. Radiesse has been formulated to work in a biphasic manner:

  1. Immediate filling effect - thanks to a gel carrier that fills in wrinkles and restores volume.
  2. Long-term biostimulating effect - calcium hydroxyapatite microparticles stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen, leading to natural skin thickening and firming.

As a result, the skin looks younger and healthier - it becomes tighter, more elastic and smoother.

How does the Radiesse treatment proceed?

The procedure takes 30-60 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia.
After cleansing the skin, the doctor injects the product with a thin needle or cannula into selected areas of the face or body. After application, a gentle massage is performed to achieve even distribution of the product.

The effect of filling and firming the skin is visible immediately after the procedure, while the process of regeneration and collagen production continues over the following weeks, leading to a gradual deepening of the effect.

The patient can return to daily activities immediately after leaving the clinic.
A mild swelling or redness persists for a maximum of 1-2 days.

Effects of the treatment

Treatment with Radiesse has many benefits:

  • Instant filling and lifting effect,
  • Improving skin firmness and density,
  • Smoothing out wrinkles,
  • Restoring cheek volume and facial oval,
  • Modeling of the jawline and chin,
  • Improving the appearance of the hands and neck.

The effects last up to 18 months, and thanks to natural collagen stimulation, the rejuvenation process continues long after the procedure.

For whom is the Radiesse treatment intended?

The treatment is recommended for people who notice:

  • The lost firmness of the skin,
  • Flaccidity and loss of facial oval,
  • nasolabial furrows and marionette lines,

Radiesse is ideal for both men and women who want a natural rejuvenating effect without excessive filling.

A few days before the scheduled visit is advisable:

For some, it is a filler. For others, it is a stimulator. For me, this treatment is the perfect compromise between stimulating and encouraging collagen formation and rebuilding volume and contouring the face.

FAQ

Answers to frequently asked questions about a variety of treatments and procedures.

Radiesse has a biphasic effect - in addition to immediate filling, it stimulates the skin to produce its own collagen. As a result, the effects are more permanent and natural.

How long do the effects of the treatment last?

The results are visible immediately after the procedure and last up to 18 months, depending on the patient's individual predisposition and lifestyle.

Is the procedure painful?

No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, which ensures full comfort. A slight swelling or redness may occur after the procedure.

Is Radiesse safe?

Yes. Calcium hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring substance in the body, so it does not cause allergic reactions and is fully biocompatible.

When do the effects appear?

The filling effect is visible immediately, and after a few weeks the skin becomes even firmer due to the stimulation of collagen production.

Can the procedure be combined with other procedures?

Yes, Radiesse can be combined with biorevitalizing or lifting treatments for an even better skin rejuvenation and firming effect.
