About the procedure
Radiesse is an injectable preparation based on calcium hydroxylapatite. It may be considered for selected volume and contour changes, but is not equivalent to a hyaluronic acid filler or a surgical facelift.
Your consultation
The clinician assesses anatomy, skin quality and previous injections. The area, technique and purpose are agreed after discussing the product’s limitations and available alternatives.
What to expect
- Review the desired change and whether this product is appropriate.
- Explain the plan, risks and other options.
- Perform treatment and arrange a follow-up assessment.
Recovery and follow-up
Swelling, tenderness and bruising may occur. These reactions can affect the initial appearance; progress and the timing of review are discussed individually.
What to consider
Possible complications include nodules, asymmetry and infection. Rare vascular complications can be serious. This product cannot be dissolved using the same method as hyaluronic acid.
Common questions
Is it suitable for every facial area?
No. Selection depends on anatomy and the product’s indications; a brand name cannot replace assessment.
How does it differ from hyaluronic acid?
Its composition and the options for managing complications differ. These distinctions should be understood before deciding on treatment.
Discuss the cost before treatment.
Ask for an estimate for your case and clarify what is included: consultations, the procedure, investigations and follow-up visits. The plan and final cost are agreed after assessment.
