Radiesse

Lately in the clinic,

‘Doctor, I heard the Radiesse collagen booster is great?’

I have been getting this question a lot more frequently.

Immediate volume plus

✔ Skin texture and tone

✔ Elasticity and wrinkle improvement

✔ Natural anti-aging effects

As more people desire these results, interest in this procedure has significantly increased.

What is the Radiesse Collagen Booster?

Radiesse is a treatment based on CaHA (Calcium Hydroxylapatite),

and its main feature is directly inducing collagen production within the skin.

Rather than simply filling empty spaces,

👉 you can think of it as a treatment that helps your skin produce its own collagen.

Therefore, rather than seeing immediate changes right after the procedure,

your skin elasticity gradually improves over time.

Differences from Existing Collagen Boosters

Treatments often compared to it include

Sculptra, Juvelook Skin, and Juvelook Volume.

The advantages of the Radiesse collagen booster are:

✔ Relatively long-lasting collagen stimulation

✔ Improvement in skin density

✔ Natural recovery of elasticity

✔ Highly effective even with fewer sessions compared to other collagen boosters

(Radiesse: 2 sessions / Other collagen boosters: average of 3 or more sessions)

Highly Recommended For:

✔ Those whose skin has generally thinned and lost elasticity

✔ Those who want to maintain their facial contours but have sagging skin

✔ Those who dislike artificial-looking volume

✔ Those who want long-term skin improvement

On the other hand,

❌ If you are only expecting immediate lifting effects

❌ If you want a filler effect that perfects volume in just one session

other treatments might be more suitable for you.

Expected Changes After the Procedure

Although individual results may vary, typically:

Changes in skin texture begin after 2 to 4 weeks

Many people feel an improvement in elasticity between 1 to 3 months.

I usually explain it as a treatment where you will hear people say, ‘Your face has subtly changed; it is hard to pinpoint exactly what you did, but the sunken areas are naturally and firmly filled, making your contours beautiful and your skin look amazing.’

What a Dermatologist with 10 Years of Experience Wants You to Know

For the Radiesse collagen booster,

✔ Dilution ratio

✔ Injection depth

✔ Customized design based on skin condition

greatly impact the final results.

Even with the same product,

satisfaction levels can vary depending on who performs the procedure, on what type of skin, and for what purpose.

Also, since it is not a one-size-fits-all miracle treatment recommended for everyone,

it is crucial to decide whether to proceed only after a thorough diagnosis of your skin condition.
