Calcium hydroxyapatite filler (Collagen graft / Radiesse)
Radiesse fillers, composed of Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA), offer unique properties that distinguish them from other facial fillers[1]. The composition of Radiesse fillers contributes to their longevity and effectiveness in providing volume and structure to the skin[2]. Unlike temporary fillers, Radiesse fillers have a lasting effect and make the skin look fuller, smoother and younger[2]. This long-term effect is achieved by stimulating collagen production, which helps to increase the elasticity and firmness of the skin over time[3]. The retention of Radiesse fillers can range from 12 to 18 months, while the retention of deep fillers can potentially be up to 2 years[4][5]. Moreover, the first effects of Radiesse application are seen quickly, providing instant rejuvenation of the skin[1].
Radiesse fillers can be applied to various areas of the face and body, making them a versatile option for aesthetic enhancement[6]. The areas where Radiesse fillers are commonly used are cheekbones, temporal, chin, neck, hand and improving skin quality. These fillers containing calcium hydroxyapatite crystals are especially effective in filling deep grooves in the face and reshaping facial contours[7].
The benefits of Radiesse fillers go beyond their unique composition and versatile application areas, distinguishing them from other fillers on the market[9]. Radiesse fillers are recognised for providing natural-looking results and contributing significantly to facial rejuvenation[10]. The filler's ability to trigger collagen production in the skin not only improves immediate results, but also supports long-term skin health and vitality[3]. In addition, Radiesse fillers offer a convenient and effective aesthetic solution with fast results that can be achieved without the need for surgery or long recovery time[11]. Thorough skin cleansing and numbing cream before the application of Radiesse fillers provide a comfortable and safe procedure that usually takes about 10-20 minutes[12].
