Radiesse® Hyper-Dilute
Hyper-diluted Radiesse® is used to stimulate collagen, helping to firm and tighten lax skin on the face, neck, décolletage and body.
£500 per session
Overview
Firmer, tighter-looking skin
Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres in a gel. When it is diluted with saline and lidocaine and placed just under the skin with a fine cannula, it acts as a collagen stimulator rather than a volumising filler.
It can be used on the mid to lower face, neck, décolletage, inner upper arms, abdomen and above the knees. Collagen builds over the weeks after treatment and continues for several months.
What it can help with
- Crêpey or lax skin
- Neck and décolletage
- Mild loss of firmness on the face
- Lax skin on the arms, abdomen or knees
