Radiesse at Skin Therapeutics in Vancouver

Collagen Stimulation for Natural Structure & Support

 

Radiesse® | Regenerative Collagen Biostimulation

Radiesse® is a physician-administered injectable treatment designed to restore structure, improve contour, and stimulate the skin’s natural regenerative processes.

Unlike a traditional hyaluronic acid filler, Radiesse is made with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. These provide immediate structural support while also stimulating the production of collagen and elastin over time.

At Skin Therapeutics, Radiesse is used as part of a broader regenerative approach to facial rejuvenation — with the goal of improving structure, firmness, and skin quality while maintaining natural expression and individual features.

How Radiesse Works

Radiesse provides an immediate volumizing and contouring effect while acting as a biostimulatory scaffold within the skin.

Over time, the CaHA particles encourage the body to produce new collagen and elastin, helping improve skin firmness, resilience, and overall quality.

This makes Radiesse particularly useful for patients who want both structural improvement and longer-term regenerative benefit.

What Can Radiesse Treat?

Depending on your anatomy and treatment goals, Radiesse may be used to address:

  • Jawline definition and contour
  • Lower-face structure and support
  • Chin and pre-jowl areas
  • Loss of facial firmness
  • Moderate to severe facial folds
  • Age-related volume loss in the hands
  • Skin quality and laxity in selected treatment areas

Treatment is individualized following a physician consultation and assessment.

Radiesse vs Traditional Dermal Filler

Traditional hyaluronic acid fillers primarily work by adding volume and attracting water within the tissues.

Radiesse works differently.

It provides immediate support while also stimulating collagen and elastin production, making it particularly useful when the goal is to improve both structure and tissue quality over time.

For some patients, Radiesse may be used alone. In others, it may be combined with treatments such as neuromodulators, energy-based treatments, PRF, or other regenerative approaches as part of a broader treatment plan.

Hyperdilute Radiesse

When appropriately diluted, Radiesse can be used primarily as a biostimulatory treatment rather than for volume replacement.

This approach is often referred to as hyperdilute Radiesse.

The goal is to stimulate collagen and improve skin quality, firmness, and elasticity while minimizing additional volume.

Suitability depends on the treatment area, skin quality, anatomy, and individual goals.

What to Expect

Treatment begins with a physician consultation and assessment of facial structure, skin quality, and treatment goals.

Radiesse is then placed strategically using either a needle or cannula, depending on the treatment area and indication.

Most treatments are completed within approximately 30–60 minutes.

Temporary swelling, tenderness, redness, or bruising may occur following treatment. Most patients are able to return to normal activities shortly afterward.

Results may be visible immediately, with continued improvement developing over the following weeks and months as collagen production increases.

How Long Do Results Last?

Longevity varies depending on the treatment area, dose, individual metabolism, and treatment technique.

Many patients experience results that last approximately one year or longer, with regenerative effects continuing beyond the initial volumizing effect.

Maintenance treatments can be discussed as part of a longer-term skin and facial rejuvenation plan.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Radiesse may be appropriate for adults who are looking to improve facial structure, contour, firmness, or skin quality without dramatically changing their appearance.

It may be particularly suitable for patients who are beginning to notice:

  • Loss of jawline definition
  • Early jowling or lower-face laxity
  • Reduced facial support
  • Changes in skin firmness
  • Age-related volume loss
  • Reduced skin resilience or elasticity

A consultation is required to determine whether Radiesse is appropriate for you.

A Physician-Led Approach

At Skin Therapeutics, injectable treatments are planned and performed with an emphasis on anatomy, proportion, safety, and long-term facial harmony.

The goal is not to simply add volume.

The goal is to restore support, preserve natural expression, and improve the quality and structure of the skin in a way that remains balanced and appropriate for your features.

Radiesse at Skin Therapeutics

Radiesse fits naturally within our regenerative treatment philosophy:

Repair. Restore. Regenerate.

Rather than treating isolated lines or areas, we focus on the underlying changes in facial structure, skin quality, and tissue support that occur over time.

Your treatment plan may include Radiesse alone or in combination with other physician-directed therapies depending on your goals.
