Radiesse — the immediate-lift biostimulator. Unlike gradual-only collagen stimulators, Radiesse restores volume and definition the moment it is placed, then works with your body to replace that volume with your own fresh collagen. Doctor-led structural rejuvenation lasting 18 months or more.

Real Results
Radiesse restores structure the moment it is placed, then converts that volume into your own collagen. Drag the slider to compare.
How It Works
Radiesse is unique because it works in two distinct phases — an immediate structural correction, followed by a sustained collagen remodelling that outlasts the treatment itself. Made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier, it is denser than hyaluronic acid filler, making it particularly effective at restoring structure to areas that have lost definition — the jawline, cheeks and lower face.
The timing is what makes it special. You see a visible tightening and redefinition the moment the treatment is complete. Then, over the following months, the gel carrier is naturally absorbed and the CaHA microspheres act as a scaffold that signals your fibroblasts to produce new, high-quality collagen in its place.
The volume you first saw from the gel is gradually replaced by your own natural tissue — so the lift becomes more, not less, your own over time. At Skiin, Radiesse sits alongside Sculptra and dermal fillers as part of a layered, anatomy-first approach to full-face rejuvenation.
The Result
True cellular renewal: the initial correction is gradually rebuilt as your own collagen — the result reads as structure restored, never 'filled'.
Where It Works
Radiesse's density makes it the doctor's choice for restoring a softened jawline and jowl area — immediate definition that your own collagen then maintains.
Structural support for a retreating chin, bringing the profile back into balance with the rest of the face.
Restores the deep support layer beneath the cheeks, lifting the mid-face and softening the folds it creates.
Smooths the deeper lines running from the nose to the mouth by rebuilding the volume beneath them rather than simply filling the line.
A signature use of Radiesse — replenishing the volume the backs of the hands lose with age, softening tendon visibility and restoring a smoother, plumper appearance.
The Philosophy
At Skiin, we favour treatments where the long-term result belongs to you, not to a syringe. Radiesse embodies that philosophy: the immediate correction you see on the day acts as a scaffold, and your body builds its own collagen in its place. By three to four months, the gel has done its work and what remains is you — firmer, more defined and structurally supported for eighteen months or more. Radiesse is performed exclusively by our aesthetic doctors, from assessment through to final review — book your consultation to discuss whether immediate-lift biostimulation suits your anatomy.
The Treatment
Day 0
Your session
Radiesse contains lidocaine for comfort and is injected with a fine cannula into the deeper layers. You see your lift immediately. A 45–60 minute appointment; most patients need a single session.
Day 1–2
Settle
Mild swelling and tenderness are normal for 24–48 hours and settle quickly. Light makeup can be applied the following day, and most patients return to normal activities.
Week 2–12
Collagen rebuilds
As the gel carrier is gradually absorbed, the CaHA scaffold signals your fibroblasts to produce fresh collagen — so the lift is maintained and becomes more natural over time.
Month 3–4
Full result
Your collagen-rebuilt result is fully established and can last 18 months or more. A single maintenance session is typically recommended annually.
