Radiesse at Skin Medical

We work with Radiesse, its unique formula offers a robust approach to anti-ageing, combining immediate results with sustained improvement over time.

At Skin Medical, under the expert guidance of Dr Sabika Karim, we offer Radiesse, a renowned for its dual-action treatment, and not only provides immediate aesthetic enhancement by restoring facial volume but also fosters long-term skin health by stimulating the natural production of collagen.

What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is designed to treat a variety of aesthetic concerns. It is especially effective in addressing deep lines and wrinkles such as nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, and chin wrinkles. Additionally, its volumising effect is ideal for contouring and enhancing facial features like cheeks and jawlines, and it can also be used for correcting volume loss in the back of the hands.

Use and Indications

  • Non-surgical treatment for facial and hand rejuvenation.
  • Correction of moderate to severe facial lines and wrinkles.

Why choose Radiesse?

Radiesse was first introduced as a ground-breaking solution for soft tissue augmentation. Its active component, calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), is a substance naturally found in human bones, making it highly biocompatible and minimising the risk of allergic reactions. This filler works by providing a scaffold that supports collagen synthesis, with the CaHA microspheres eventually being absorbed by the body, leaving behind new connective tissue.

Frequently Asked Questions about Radiesse

Read through our frequently asked questions about Radiesse. Still have questions? Our team will be happy to assist you.

What is Radiesse made from?

Radiesse consists of microspheres of calcium hydroxylapatite, a type of mineral that is naturally present in human bones, suspended in a water-based gel.

How long do results from Radiesse last?

Results can last between 12 to 18 months, varying by individual metabolism, treatment area, and lifestyle factors.

Is the injection procedure painful?

Radiesse injections are generally well-tolerated. The use of Radiesse with lidocaine helps alleviate discomfort during the procedure.

What are common side effects?

Typical side effects include temporary swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection site. These effects typically resolve within a few days.

Is there anyone who should not use Radiesse?

Individuals with severe allergies, bleeding disorders, or abnormal scar formation should consult their doctor before considering Radiesse.

How quickly can normal activities be resumed post-treatment?

Most patients can return to their daily activities immediately after their treatment, although it is advised to avoid strenuous activities for the first 24 to 48 hours.

Menopause can cause the skin to become drier, thinner, and more sensitive. The skins cell turnover slows down, this is due to the body producing less estrogen. The production of fibroblasts also slow down. Fibroblasts produce collagen and elastin, you may notice you skin loses its plumpness and firmness.
