There are certain treatments that quietly change the way you practise. Radiesse is one of those for me.
I’ve been trained in this treatment for over 15 years, and even with all the advances in aesthetics, it remains one of my absolute go-to options when the goal is skin quality, structure, and long-term improvement—not just filling lines.
This is not about chasing volume. It’s about restoring strength, firmness, and function to the skin.
Why Radiesse Is Different From HA Fillers
Most people are familiar with hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. They have their place—and I still use them—but Radiesse works in a completely different way.
HA fillers replace lost volume directly and give an instant filling effect, HA fillers gradually dissolve over time
Radiesse, on the other hand acts as a biostimulator and encourages your skin to produce its own collage. It also Improves firmness, elasticity, and texture over time
Once the initial gel carrier is absorbed, what’s left is your own collagen doing the work. That’s why results don’t just look natural—they are natural.
Radiesse is manufactured by Merz Aesthetics and has a long-standing safety profile when used correctly and by an experienced practitioner.
But before we dive into the benefits, let’s break it down step by step.
Why It’s My Go-To for Skin Laxity
Skin laxity isn’t a volume problem—it’s a quality and support problem.This is where Radiesse truly shines.By stimulating collagen deep within the skin, it helps to Improve skin thickness and restore structural support. It also reduces that “loose” or “crepey” appearance that fillers simply can’t fix.This makes it ideal for areas where heaviness or overfilling would look unnatural.
Dilute & Hyper-Dilute Radiesse: Game-Changing for Skin Quality
One of the most exciting ways we now use Radiesse is diluted or hyper-diluted, turning it into a powerful skin rejuvenation treatment rather than a volumiser.
What Does This Mean?
Radiesse is mixed with saline (and sometimes local anaesthetic) so it spreads evenly under the skin, stimulating collagen across a wider area.This is my treatment of choice for those neck lines, décolletage lines, jawline skin laxity,lower face firmness and for the arms.
The neck, in particular, is notoriously difficult to treat. Hyper-diluted Radiesse has become my gold standard here—because it strengthens the skin itself rather than trying to mask the problem.
Acne Scarring & Poor Skin Texture
Another area where Radiesse is often overlooked is acne scarring and poor skin quality. Used correctly, it can iImprove rolling and atrophic scars, strengthen weakened dermal support, smooth uneven texture and enhance overall skin resilience. This isn’t about “filling scars” in the traditional sense—it’s about rebuilding the skin from within.
Why Experience Matters
Radiesse is a powerful tool—but it’s not forgiving in inexperienced hands.
After 15 years of training and clinical use, I understand where it should and shouldn’t be placed, how to tailor dilution for each concern and when Radiesse is the right choice—and when it isn’t. This is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. It’s a bespoke approach that depends on anatomy, skin quality, and long-term goals.
My Philosophy: Treat the Skin, Not Just the Line
Trends come and go. Overfilled faces don’t age well.
Radiesse aligns perfectly with how I believe aesthetic medicine should be practised which is subtl, regenerative, skin-focused and most of all designed to age with you, not against you.
If you’re concerned about laxity, crepey skin, acne scarring, or simply want to improve how your skin behaves—not just how it looks—Radiesse may be the treatment that changes everything.
