RADIESSE is used to treat areas including the cheeks, jawline, nasolabial folds (smile lines), décolleté, and the backs of the hands. It’s ideal for restoring volume, smoothing wrinkles, and improving skin structure in areas that commonly show signs of aging.

Yes. RADIESSE is designed for all skin tones and types, including Fitzpatrick skin types I through VI. Its regenerative mechanism works beneath the surface, offering natural-looking results that enhance your authentic beauty regardless of your complexion.

RADIESSE is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have active skin infections or severe allergies, particularly to any of the product’s ingredients. Your practitioner will review your medical history during your initial consultation to ensure RADIESSE is suitable for you.

You may notice a visible improvement immediately after your treatment, thanks to RADIESSE’s volumising effect. Over time, results continue to improve as the product stimulates your body’s natural collagen and elastin production for enhanced skin quality.

Results typically last 12 to 18 months, depending on factors such as your age, lifestyle, skin type, and the area treated. Individual results always vary, but many patients report long-lasting improvements and RADIESE has exceptionally high customer satisfaction, thanks to reliably positive outcomes.

Yes. RADIESSE not only provides immediate volume but also stimulates your body’s own collagen and elastin production. This means your skin can gradually become firmer, smoother, and more radiant in the weeks and months following treatment.

RADIESSE is injected into targeted areas of the skin using a fine needle or cannula. It’s a non-surgical procedure, performed in-clinic, designed to contour, volumise, and stimulate collagen for natural, lasting results.

It depends on the treatment area and your individual goals, but a RADIESSE appointment usually lasts around 30 minutes. This includes your consultation, preparation, and post-treatment review.

Most patients find RADIESSE treatments tolerable, with only mild discomfort during the injections. Some formulations include lidocaine (a local anaesthetic) to keep you even more comfortable. Your practitioner may also apply a topical numbing cream beforehand.

Many people achieve their desired results with a single session. However, depending on the condition of your skin and aesthetic goals, your practitioner may recommend a follow-up treatment plan. Ongoing maintenance can help preserve optimal results.

Yes. RADIESSE has a strong clinical safety profile and is supported by over 220 peer-reviewed publications. It is widely used by aesthetics professionals around the world and has been rigorously tested for both efficacy and safety.

No procedure is entirely risk-free. Common side effects include mild swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site – this will typically resolve within a week. Your practitioner will explain all potential risks during your initial consultation.

Downtime is minimal. You may experience some swelling or numbness after treatment, but most people return to their normal activities within 24 to 48 hours. Any visible signs usually subside within 7 to 10 days.

Yes. Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, saunas, and any vigorous exercise for at least 24 to 48 hours. Please also don’t apply makeup to the treated area for a few hours; this is in order to minimise the infection risk. Follow your practitioner’s aftercare advice closely.

RADIESSE doesn’t just fill—it regenerates. Unlike traditional fillers, it stimulates collagen and elastin production, working with your body to improve your skin’s structure and quality over time. That means natural-looking, long-lasting results.
