Radiesse in Como (Calcium Hydroxylapatite)
Injectable filler based on calcium hydroxylapatite that restores immediate volume and stimulates collagen production for a lifting and firming effect that lasts over time.
What it is and how it is performed
What it is
Radiesse is an injectable filler based on calcium hydroxylapatite in an aqueous gel that combines two actions: it restores immediate volume and stimulates collagen production for a lifting and firming effect that lasts over time. It is the ideal solution if you wish to add volume to cheekbones and the jawline, define facial contours, soften deep folds, or improve the appearance of the hands. Perfect for those seeking a natural result, visible immediately, which further improves over time thanks to collagen stimulation.
Radiesse combines the benefits of a traditional filler with those of a biostimulator, making it a versatile choice for various areas of the face and body.
How it is performed
Calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in an aqueous gel are injected into the desired area using fine needles. The microspheres immediately fill the treated area, creating visible immediate volume. Simultaneously, they stimulate fibroblasts (regeneration cells) to produce type I collagen. Over time, the gel is naturally reabsorbed by your body, but the new collagen produced by the cells remains. The result is an initial volumetric effect that improves and stabilizes over time.
The mechanism is completely biological: the immediate volume is provided by Radiesse, but the duration depends on the new collagen that your body naturally produces.
