Aging gracefully isn’t just about smoothing wrinkles—it’s about maintaining skin integrity, elasticity, and structure. That’s where biostimulators like hyper-dilute Radiesse come in, offering an innovative way to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production.
If you’re noticing skin laxity, crepey texture, or volume loss but aren’t quite ready for (or interested in) traditional fillers, hyper-dilute Radiesse may be your new go-to for firm, radiant skin.
What Is a Biostimulator?
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that add volume by directly plumping the skin, biostimulators work by triggering collagen and elastin production over time. They create a long-lasting skin remodeling effect, improving texture, tightness, and hydration naturally.
Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) filler, originally designed for deeper volume restoration. However, when it’s diluted with bacteriostatic saline and lidocaine, it transforms into a powerful collagen stimulator, ideal for treating skin laxity and thinning without adding excessive volume.
How Does Hyper-Dilute Radiesse Work?
When injected into targeted areas, hyper-dilute Radiesse:
✔ Boosts collagen & elastin – Reinforces the skin’s support structure, leading to firmer, smoother skin over time.
✔ Improves skin quality – Softens fine lines, tightens crepey texture, and enhances hydration.
✔ Provides subtle lifting effects – Without creating unnatural volume, it restores youthful elasticity.
✔ Enhances circulation & skin tone – Increased collagen improves oxygenation and hydration levels in the skin.
What’s in Hyper-Dilute Radiesse?
Hyper-Dilute Radiesse is created by mixing Radiesse with bacteriostatic saline and lidocaine to create a smooth, easily injectable solution that spreads evenly through the treatment area.
👉 Customizable Enhancements:
Depending on your needs, Xeomin (a neuromodulator) or Belotero (a soft hyaluronic acid filler) can also be added.
- Xeomin relaxes dynamic wrinkles in treated areas, preventing fine lines from deepening.
- Belotero provides additional hydration and smoothness, improving skin quality even further.
Where Can Hyper-Dilute Radiesse Be Used?
Hyper-Dilute Radiesse is an incredibly versatile treatment that rejuvenates areas often overlooked by traditional fillers, including:
✅ Temples & Cheeks: Stimulates collagen to restore skin thickness and improve elasticity without excessive volume.
✅ Jawline: Enhances definition, improves skin firmness, and reduces the appearance of sagging.
✅ Neck & Décolleté: Targets crepey skin, horizontal neck lines, and loss of firmness.
✅ Hands: Restores volume loss and diminishes veiny, aged appearance.
✅ Arms & Knees: Improves skin texture and crepiness, especially in areas prone to laxity.
✅ Buttocks & Thighs: Can improve skin tone and help with mild cellulite by tightening the skin.
Hyper-Dilute Radiesse vs. Sculptra: Which Is Right for You?
Sculptra and Hyper-Dilute Radiesse are both biostimulators, meaning they trigger collagen production rather than just adding volume. However, there are key differences:
| Feature | Hyper-Dilute Radiesse | Sculptra |
| Main Ingredient | Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) | Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) |
| Mechanism of Action | Provides immediate skin support and long-term collagen stimulation | Works solely by stimulating collagen over time |
| Onset of Results | Visible improvement within 4-6 weeks; full effect at 3-6 months | Gradual results over 3-6 months, requiring multiple sessions |
| Longevity | 12-18 months | 2+ years |
| Best for… | Skin tightening, firming, and mild lifting with subtle volume restoration | Gradual collagen restoration for volume loss and deep-set wrinkles |
| Common Treatment Areas | Temples, cheeks, jawline, neck, chest, hands, arms, knees, buttocks | Cheeks, temples, jawline, buttocks, and areas needing deep volume restoration |
| Downtime | Minimal (1-2 days of swelling) | Minimal (may cause mild swelling, bruising) |
| Number of Sessions Needed | 1-2 sessions for most areas | Typically 2-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart |
How to Decide Between Hyper-Dilute Radiesse & Sculptra
- Choose Hyper-Dilute Radiesse if you’re looking for skin tightening, firmness, and hydration with a slightly faster onset. It’s ideal for treating crepey or lax skin, especially on the neck, hands, jawline, and cheeks.
- Choose Sculptra if you want gradual, long-lasting volume restoration in areas like the cheeks and temples, with results lasting over two years.
For clients who need both volume and tightening, a combination of Sculptra and Hyper-Dilute Radiesse may be recommended for comprehensive collagen regeneration.
What to Expect: Treatment & Results
- Procedure: The treatment involves a series of fine injections across the treatment area. Most sessions take 30-45 minutes, and discomfort is minimal.
- Downtime: Expect mild swelling and tenderness for 24-48 hours, but most clients resume normal activities immediately.
- Results: Initial improvements can be seen within 4-6 weeks, with full collagen remodeling peaking at 3-6 months. Results can last 12-18 months, depending on individual skin health and metabolism.
