RADIESSE

Injectable skin boosters and bioremodelling treatments have been gaining increasing popularity in recent years and have become a vital component of injectable rejuvenation treatments.

They work wonderfully in conjunction with (or instead of) more traditional injectable treatments such as neurotoxins and fillers and can be very impactful in improving overall skin quality, health and texture.

Although there are a lot of overlapping features within the various biostimulator and skin booster treatments, depending on your main skin concern, we take a targeted approach in choosing the best one for you following your consultation.

  • Radiesse is a dermal filler subtype which is made up of Calcium HydroxyLapatite (CaHa) instead of Hyaluronic Acid.

    It has the ability to smoothen the appearance of moderate to severe facial lines or to provide volume to the back of the hands.

    Although in its ‘neat’ form it is an excellent volumiser, perhaps its most exciting application is in its dilute or hyperdilute forms.

    In this form, Radiesse can be administered over large areas such as the face, neck or decolletage and it has the ability to act as a powerful spreadable biostimulator that boosts collagen production and can help lift and firm the skin.

  • You will undergo a thorough consultation in clinic to determine the most suitable treatment regimen for you.

    Treatment involves administering Radiesse through small injections, either using a fine needle or a cannula (blunt metallic tube ideal for contouring larger areas).

    The Radiesse contains a local anaesthetic and so the treatment gets more comfortable as we progress.

    Patients find that they are then able to then continue their day as normal with no restrictions.

    It can take around 4 weeks for the full results to become apparent in keeping with biostimulator treatments.

    Initially, the area may be a bit swollen, tender and red, however this settles within the first 3-5 days.

    We recommend 2-3 treatments at 4-6 weeks apart for best results.

  • Like with all injectable treatments, it is recommended that you avoid exercise or excessive straining for 24hours post treatment, as well as avoiding excessive heat or rubbing and pressure to the area.

    Bio-remodelling and mesotherapy treatments are suitable for all healthy individuals above the age of 21, but like all of our injectable therapies we are not able to offer them if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
