Why Radiesse Is My Favorite For Neck, Chest, Arms & Knees

Why is Radiesse my favorite collagen stimulator for skin laxity, wrinkles, and texture in the neck, chest, arms, and knees?

To make Hyperdiluted Radiesse, we thin regular Radiesse with a mixture of saline and lidocaine. Next, we inject this diluted mixture superficially under the skin, so it acts as a skin rejuvenation treatment rather than a volumizer. Radiesse is a collagen stimulator, and it consists of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a water gel.

Once we inject it, Radiesse provides immediate volume and correction for the face and body. Then, as the CaHA microspheres dissolve, it keeps working and stimulates new collagen for long-lasting results. Radiesse is not just a filler, though. It also addresses skin quality, which is a game changer and sets it apart from hyaluronic acid fillers. Think of this filler as scaffolding: it forms a strong structure that holds the skin taut, and its chemical structure is closer to bone.

What Does Hyperdiluted Radiesse Do?

With Hyperdilute Radiesse, we gradually tighten and thicken targeted areas of the skin. As a result, we reveal a smoother, firmer appearance on the face, neck, chest, and body. In addition, it helps improve crepiness, skin laxity, sun damage, tone, and elasticity, all without adding unnatural-looking volume!

We can also use Hyper-diluted Radiesse to treat cellulite. For example, when we inject it into areas with moderate to severe cellulite, it plumps the skin and reduces the appearance of dimpling.

The skin-rejuvenating effects of this treatment are pronounced and visible. In fact, collagen and elastin production starts as early as 4 weeks after injection. This leads to long-term skin tightening with progressive, natural dermal thickening. After we inject Hyperdilute Radiesse, it stimulates new collagen, and results peak about 90 days after each treatment.

To reach your goal of smoother, plumper, more elastic, and firmer skin, we perform a series of 3 hyperdilute treatments in the same area, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. Afterward, maintenance sessions happen once a year.

We can treat many areas with Hyperdilute Radiesse, including:

  • Face
  • Neck
  • Chest
  • Upper inner arms
  • Forearms
  • Buttocks
  • Knees
  • Thighs

In addition, we can combine this treatment with fillers, lasers, and other modalities to give you the best outcome. Together, we will discuss a custom treatment plan to give you the results you desire.

Finally, you may have mild bruising, swelling, or discomfort afterward, if any. Most clients return to their normal activities immediately following the treatment.
