Radiesse Collagen Booster
Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) injectable. It gives immediate support, and its CaHA microspheres stimulate the body's own collagen over time.
CaHA Biostimulator
Calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres stay where they are placed while the gel carrier is absorbed, and the body's own tissue forms around them.
Immediate + Gradual
Immediate support from the gel, then a collagen response that builds over months.

Diluted with saline and lidocaine, Radiesse is also used for skin quality on the neck, décolletage and body.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q.What urgent warning signs matter after Radiesse?
Unusual or severe pain, blanching or mottled skin, any vision change, weakness, difficulty speaking, or other stroke-like symptoms require immediate emergency medical assessment. Calcium hydroxylapatite is not dissolved by hyaluronidase. Confirm the clinic's actual urgent contact and referral pathway before treatment; a messenger service is not an emergency channel.
