Product explained
What Radiesse is
Radiesse contains calcium-hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. Depending on the supported indication and preparation, it may be selected for structural support or a more biostimulatory skin-quality plan.
Who may consider it
- Selected facial or body areas supported by current instructions and practitioner assessment.
- People comparing an immediate structural component with more gradual collagen-led options.
- A conservative product and dilution plan appropriate to the tissue and treatment goal.
How treatment is planned
Goals, anatomy, skin or scalp condition, medical history, medication and previous treatment are reviewed.
The exact formula, intended route, batch, expiry, current instructions and practitioner scope are checked.
Area, amount, technique, comfort measures and photographs are agreed before consent.
Response, recovery and whether another session is appropriate are assessed without automatic treatment.
Risks, recovery and limits
- Redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising and temporary unevenness can occur.
- Injectable and thread treatments carry uncommon but potentially serious risks discussed in person before consent.
- Active infection, pregnancy or breastfeeding, medication and some medical conditions can change suitability.
- Results and duration vary. No fixed outcome, lift, regrowth, volume or number of sessions is guaranteed.
