In aesthetics, one of the biggest shifts we are seeing right now is a move away from obvious filler and towards treatments that work with the skin, not against it.
Patients are becoming more informed. They do not necessarily want to look “done” or dramatically different. They want to look fresher, firmer, healthier and more rested — while still looking like themselves.
This is where Radiesse has become such an exciting treatment.
At Renu, Radiesse by Merz Aesthetics is not a new trend. It is a treatment we have understood, respected and worked with for many years. While Radiesse is currently being talked about as part of the regenerative aesthetics movement, Nurse Kristeen Geddes has been using Radiesse since 2012 and has over 19 years of experience in aesthetics.
This long-standing experience means patients are treated with a careful, knowledgeable and personalised approach, based on facial anatomy, skin quality, ageing changes and natural-looking results.
What is Radiesse?
Radiesse is an advanced injectable treatment made from calcium hydroxylapatite, a substance used in aesthetic medicine to support structure and stimulate collagen production.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which are mainly used to replace lost volume, Radiesse can be used as a biostimulator. This means it helps encourage your skin to produce more of its own collagen over time.
Collagen is one of the key proteins that keeps skin firm, supported and youthful-looking. As we age, collagen naturally declines, which can lead to skin laxity, softening of the jawline, crepey texture, and a loss of definition.
Radiesse is designed to help improve the quality and strength of the skin from within.
Why is Radiesse trending?
The current trend in aesthetics is all about natural, regenerative results.
Many people are moving away from the idea of simply “filling lines” and are now looking for treatments that support long-term skin health. Radiesse fits beautifully into this approach because it can help improve firmness, texture and structure gradually.
It is particularly popular for patients who are starting to notice:
- Loss of firmness in the lower face
- Softening around the jawline
- Crepey or thinning skin
- Mild skin laxity
- Loss of facial support
- A tired or ageing appearance without wanting traditional filler
The results are not about changing your face. They are about improving the foundation of your skin.
How does Radiesse work?
Radiesse works in two ways depending on how it is used.
When placed in certain areas, it can provide immediate support and contour. When diluted or hyperdiluted, it works more as a collagen-stimulating treatment, helping to improve skin quality, firmness and elasticity over time.
This makes it a versatile treatment option for people who want a more refreshed and naturally lifted appearance without looking overfilled.
Radiesse is a powerful treatment when used correctly. It is not simply about adding volume. It is about improving support, stimulating collagen and helping the skin look firmer, fresher and more resilient over time.
Which areas can Radiesse treat?
Radiesse may be suitable for several areas, depending on your skin quality, facial structure and treatment goals.
Common areas include:
- Lower face
- Jawline
- Cheeks
- Neck
- Décolletage
- Hands
- Areas of mild skin laxity
At consultation, we assess whether Radiesse is the right option for you or whether another treatment, such as skin boosters, polynucleotides, Profhilo, Sculptra, radiofrequency, LED therapy or a combination approach, would be more suitable.
Is Radiesse the same as filler?
Not quite.
Traditional hyaluronic acid fillers are often used to replace lost volume or enhance specific features such as lips, cheeks or folds.
Radiesse can provide structure, but its real appeal is its collagen-stimulating effect. It is often chosen by patients who want firmer, smoother, stronger-looking skin rather than a “filled” appearance.
This is why Radiesse is often described as part of the regenerative aesthetics movement.
When will I see results?
Some improvement may be visible quite quickly, especially if Radiesse is used for structural support. However, the collagen-stimulating benefits develop gradually over the following weeks and months.
This makes Radiesse a great option for patients who prefer subtle, progressive improvement rather than an instant, dramatic change.
Who is Radiesse suitable for?
Radiesse may be suitable for people who are noticing early to moderate signs of ageing, particularly skin laxity, loss of definition, or reduced firmness.
It may be especially helpful for patients who feel their skin looks thinner, softer or less supported but do not necessarily want traditional filler.
As with all injectable treatments, suitability depends on your medical history, skin quality, anatomy and desired outcome. A consultation is always required before treatment.
Why choose Renu for Radiesse?
At Renu, our approach is not about chasing trends. It is about choosing treatments that are safe, evidence-informed and appropriate for the individual patient.
Nurse Kristeen Geddes has over 19 years of experience in aesthetics and has been using Radiesse since 2012. This gives patients confidence that their treatment is being carried out by an experienced medical practitioner with a deep understanding of skin, facial ageing and natural-looking results.
At Renu, we focus on subtle, balanced results. Our aim is never to change how you look, but to help you look restored, confident and naturally refreshed.
During your consultation, Kristeen will assess your skin, facial structure and treatment goals before advising whether Radiesse is the right option for you. In some cases, Radiesse may be recommended on its own. In others, it may form part of a wider regenerative treatment plan alongside skin boosters, polynucleotides, LED therapy, radiofrequency or medical-grade skincare.
This personalised approach allows us to create results that are tailored, safe and beautifully natural.
