Regenerative · Collagen Stimulator

Radiesse

Lift and firmness now, with collagen that keeps building. Radiesse gives an immediate, natural lift while stimulating your own collagen underneath — a beautiful option for a firmer, more defined and refreshed look that lasts.

If you'd love a little more lift and definition — and skin that keeps improving over the following months — Radiesse is one of the most rewarding regenerative treatments available, giving results you can see straight away and collagen that builds beneath the surface.

What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is a collagen biostimulator made from tiny calcium-based microspheres (calcium hydroxylapatite, or CaHA) suspended in a smooth gel — a substance based on minerals the body already recognises. It does two things at once: the gel gives an immediate lift and support where it's placed, while the microspheres act as a scaffold that prompts your body to lay down its own fresh collagen around them.

That combination is what makes Radiesse special. Unlike a standard hyaluronic-acid filler, which simply adds volume, Radiesse works with your skin's biology — so as the gel is gradually absorbed, your own newly-built collagen keeps the firmness and structure going. The result is natural, long-lasting and genuinely regenerative.

How does it work?

Once placed into the skin, the calcium-based microspheres provide instant structure and lift, while gently stimulating your fibroblasts — the cells that produce collagen and elastin. Over the following weeks and months your body builds new collagen around the microspheres, restoring firmness and support from within.

Because of this dual action, you enjoy a visible improvement on the day, which is then maintained and enhanced by your own collagen as the product itself is naturally broken down. Results typically last 12–18 months or longer, developing to look more and more natural over time.

What can it treat?

  • Cheeks and mid-face — restoring soft volume and lift
  • Jawline and chin — adding definition and a cleaner contour
  • Pre-jowl area — softening early jowls and firming the lower face
  • Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
  • Temples — restoring gentle structure
  • Hands — replacing lost volume for a smoother, more youthful look

A more diluted technique, Hyperdilute Radiesse, spreads the collagen-stimulating effect over a wider area purely for skin tightening and quality — beautiful for the neck, décolletage, arms, abdomen and knees. This is usually done as a short course.

Your treatment journey

01

Free consultation

A relaxed, no-pressure chat with Lorraine to assess your face and goals and whether Radiesse is the right choice for you.

02

Your treatment

A comfortable appointment in which Radiesse is carefully placed to lift and define the areas that will benefit most.

03

Immediate lift

You'll see an improvement straight away, which then settles over the following days as any minor swelling subsides.

04

Collagen that builds

Your own collagen continues to develop over the following months, with results that can last 12–18 months or longer.

What to expect & downtime

Radiesse is well tolerated and downtime is usually minimal. You may notice some mild swelling, tenderness or bruising at the treated areas, which typically settles within a few days. Most people return to their normal routine straight away, and Lorraine will give you full aftercare advice to help everything settle beautifully.

Radiesse or Sculptra?

Both are collagen-stimulating, regenerative treatments — the difference is timing and feel. Sculptra Radiesse works purely gradually, rebuilding collagen over a course for an overall firming and volumising effect. Radiesse gives an immediate lift as well as stimulating collagen, so it suits people who'd like to see a difference on the day and want more definition. At your consultation Lorraine will talk you through which is the better fit for your skin and goals — with no pressure either way.

Good to Know

Radiesse FAQ

Is Radiesse a filler?+

Not a standard one. It gives an immediate lift like a filler, but it's a collagen biostimulator — it also prompts your own body to build fresh collagen, so the results are natural and long-lasting rather than simply "filled".

How long do results last?+

Typically 12–18 months or longer, as the effect is maintained by your own newly-built collagen even as the product is gradually absorbed.

Will I see a difference straight away?+

Yes — you'll see an immediate lift on the day, which settles over the following days and is then enhanced further as your collagen develops over the following months.

What's the difference between Radiesse and Sculptra?+

Both stimulate collagen. Sculptra works purely gradually over a course; Radiesse also gives an immediate lift and more definition on the day. Lorraine will help you choose the best fit at your consultation.

Is there much downtime?+

Usually minimal — some mild swelling, tenderness or bruising that settles within a few days. Most people return to their normal routine straight away.
