Radiesse in Medellín
Radiesse is a biocompatible dermal filler used to restore facial volume, redefine contours and work on skin firmness. Its formulation is based on calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, a biodegradable material that fills lines and folds and stimulates the skin’s own production of collagen.
It is used on the cheekbones, jawline, chin and nasolabial folds, and for hand rejuvenation. Its two actions — immediate volume and collagen stimulation — are what make it a common choice when the aim is a result that develops gradually.
Benefits of Radiesse
Immediate and progressive effect
From the moment it is applied, Radiesse provides volume and works on firmness. Over the following weeks, its ability to stimulate collagen production is what makes the result develop further.
It stimulates collagen
Unlike traditional fillers, Radiesse also acts as a biostimulator, working on the quality of the skin over the longer term rather than only adding volume.
A natural result
Because the biostimulating effect is gradual, the change appears over weeks rather than at once, which is what keeps facial expression intact. How natural the result looks also depends on the amount used and where.
It lasts 12 to 18 months
Radiesse lasts 12 to 18 months, depending on the area treated and on each person’s metabolism.
Biocompatible
Its main component, calcium hydroxylapatite, is a biocompatible and biodegradable material that has been used in medicine for years. As with any injectable, the assessment checks whether it is appropriate for your case.
Definition of the facial contour
It is used on the jawline, cheekbones and chin, for more definition and a lifting effect without surgery.
Hand rejuvenation
Radiesse is one of the products used to restore firmness and volume to the hands, reducing the appearance of prominent veins and tendons.
Where Radiesse can be applied
Radiesse is a versatile treatment that can be applied to different areas of the face and body to work on firmness, redefine contours and stimulate collagen production.

Frequently asked questions about Radiesse
What do Radiesse results look like, before and after?
There is volume from the first application, along with an effect on firmness. Over the following weeks its biostimulating action supports collagen production, so the skin looks firmer. The change is progressive and the effect can last up to 18 months.
Why is Radiesse chosen over other fillers?
Mainly for its two actions: immediate filling and collagen stimulation over time. Which filler suits you depends on the area, the amount of volume lost and the quality of your skin — that is decided at the assessment, not by the product.
How is Radiesse applied?
The procedure is quick and minimally invasive. It is applied through micro-injections, with topical anaesthetic for comfort. The session takes 30 to 45 minutes and needs no significant recovery time.
How does Radiesse work on the jawline?
It adds structural volume and stimulates collagen production, which creates a natural lifting effect along the jawline. It is one of the common options for defining the facial contour without surgery.
What are the benefits of Radiesse?
An immediate and progressive effect, through its ability to stimulate collagen.
- Results that last 12 to 18 months.
- Works on firmness and elasticity.
- Biocompatible material, used in medicine for years.
- Versatile: it can be applied to the face, hands and body.
Does Radiesse have side effects?
As with any aesthetic procedure, there can be mild and temporary effects such as redness, swelling or small bruises in the treated area, which settle within a few days.
Why is Radiesse considered a biostimulator?
Because it does not only fill: it stimulates the skin’s own collagen production, working on the skin from within. That is what keeps an effect on firmness after the product itself has been reabsorbed.
How is Radiesse used on the buttocks?
On the buttocks it is used to work on firmness and skin texture by stimulating collagen production. It is an option for a subtle improvement in skin quality, not a substitute for implants or surgery when what is wanted is volume.
