Radiesse
Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite injectable that provides structural correction while stimulating collagen. Depending on indication and technique, it may be used for facial wrinkles and folds, jawline contour and volume loss in the backs of the hands. Because it gives both immediate support and a gradual collagen response, it suits areas where a firmer, more structured contour is the aim.
How it works
The material adds structure where it is placed while also encouraging collagen over time, so the result combines an immediate improvement with a gradually developing support. Because Radiesse gives structure as well as volume, the technique and placement are matched to the area and the desired contour.
Where it is used
- Facial wrinkles and folds
- Jawline contour
- Volume loss in the backs of the hands

The practitioner assesses the area, agrees the approach and explains how the filler settles so the outcome can be reviewed at a follow-up appointment.
