Benefits of Radiesse collagen-stimulating filler

Radiesse: The Collagen-Stimulating Filler

At The Face Clinic Edinburgh, we are dedicated to providing our patients with the latest and most innovative cosmetic treatments. One such treatment that has gained significant popularity is Radiesse, a collagen-stimulating filler. But what exactly is Radiesse, and how does it work?

Radiesse is a dermal filler that is composed of calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. Unlike other fillers, which primarily work by adding volume to the treated area, Radiesse goes beyond traditional filling and stimulates the natural collagen production process of the skin. As we age, our skin experiences a gradual decline in collagen production, leading to the loss of elasticity and the development of wrinkles and lines. Radiesse seeks to address these signs of aging by not only restoring lost volume but also encouraging the production of new collagen.

During the treatment, Radiesse is carefully injected into the targeted areas, such as the neck area, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, or chin, using a fine needle. The calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres act as a scaffold, providing immediate volume and lift to the treated area. Simultaneously, the gel carrier serves as a biocompatible substance that helps stimulate the body's collagen production mechanism. The unique composition of Radiesse ensures long-lasting results. While the initial volume from the microspheres is instantly visible, the collagen regeneration process continues over time, leading to gradual improvements in skin texture and firmness. This dual-action approach makes Radiesse an effective and reliable filler option for those seeking more than just temporary aesthetic enhancement.

One of the key advantages of Radiesse is its longevity. Results can last up to 18 months, making it one of the longest-lasting fillers available. The stimulation of collagen growth by the filler also helps to maintain the improvements beyond the initial duration of the treatment, enhancing the natural rejuvenation of the skin.

At The Face Clinic Edinburgh, our experienced advanced filler expert, Dr Ben Taylor Davies, will conduct a thorough assessment and guide you through the process, ensuring that you achieve your desired results safely and effectively.
