Biostimulator

Hyperdilute Radiesse

Restore volume to your face, stimulate collagen production, skin tightening, and firming.

How it works

Radiesse consists of CaHA microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. These microspheres serve as a scaffold to trigger the body’s natural wound-healing response.

When diluted, the primary function shifts from volumizing to stimulating the skin’s natural ability to regenerate collagen and elastin.

What to expect

When hyperdiluted, Radiesse is mixed with saline and, optionally, lidocaine for comfort, creating a smoother, more fluid consistency that spreads easily under the skin to provide broad coverage for larger treatment areas. Upon injection, the filler offers immediate structural support, acting as a mild scaffold that subtly plumps and lifts the skin, while the gel carrier adds hydration for an improved overall appearance. Over the following weeks and months, the calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres stimulate fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, leading to increased skin density, firmness, and elasticity. As the body gradually absorbs the microspheres, the collagen matrix they helped build remains, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin, with effects that can last 12-18 months.

What it is

Hyperdilute Radiesse refers to a specific technique of using Radiesse, a calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) -based dermal filler, in a diluted form to achieve skin rejuvenation rather than volume restoration. By mixing Radiesse with saline and lidocaine, the product becomes less concentrated, making it ideal for improving skin texture, elasticity, and firmness.

FAQs

  • Biostimulators slow down the aging process by promoting the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin over a period of several months resulting in an improvement of skin quality - better skin texture, less fine lines & a reduction in pore size.

    Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) fillers are considered biostimulators, the most popular brand being Radiesse. The effects of this type of filler typically last up to 12-18 months, after which follow-up treatments are usually required because we continue to age.

  • HA fillers and biostimulators are often confused to be the same thing. This is because they deliver some similar benefits to your skin, including plumping and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles.

    However, the two treatments are actually quite different from one another. Dermal fillers provide volume, biostimulators are designed to stimulate collagen with minimal changes to volume. Stimulating collagen results in skin tightening, improved texture & firmness.

    In addition, dermal fillers work immediately, and biostimulators stimulate collagen production with results visible at 4-6 weeks and continuing to improve over the next several months. Item description

  • Both dermal filler and collagen biostimulators deliver significant benefits to your skin and are best used together for optimal results.

    During your consultation, we will review your health history, discuss your goals and then recommend the best treatment plan specific to your unique needs.

  • Subtle results can typically be seen within a month of your Sculptra injection. These results will continue to build as new collagen can take up to 6 months to form. Sculptra results can last up to 2 years (but it depends on each patients’ immune system and skin).

    Regular touch-up treatments may be recommended to maintain the desired aesthetic outcome.
