Radiesse
Regenerative Treatment
Radiesse® Treatment's in London
Radiesse Treatment is a dermal filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier.
It is used in aesthetic medicine to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, and for enhancing facial contours by providing immediate volume and stimulating the body’s natural collagen production.
At our London, Dublin, and Dubai clinics, we offer Radiesse treatment tailored to meet individual aesthetic goals, ensuring natural-looking and long-lasting results.
Treatment Overview
How Does Radiesse® Work?
Radiesse treatment works by providing immediate volume under the skin once injected, and importantly, it acts as a scaffold under the skin, providing structure and stimulating your own natural collagen to grow. This process continues for several months, which extends the initial effect.
Radiesse® is eventually absorbed by the body, leaving behind the natural collagen for long-lasting results.
What to Expect
Radiesse® Treatment Protocol
Consultation: Discussing your aesthetic concerns and goals to determine if Radiesse treatment is the best suited treatment.

Are there any risks?
Dr Paul has treated thousands of patients, each with their own unique anatomy and shape. He has mastered a lip filler London technique that is safe and effective, whilst ensuring an entirely comfortable procedure. Whilst lip filler treatments are generally safe, they do carry some risks that, although rare, are important to consider, including:
- Swelling and Bruising: Common but typically resolves within a few days.
- Infection: Rare, but possible if post-treatment care instructions are not followed.
- Lumps and Bumps: Can occur but are often temporary and can be massaged out or dissolved if persistent.
- Allergic Reactions: Uncommon with hyaluronic acid fillers.
What are the benefits of Radiesse®
- Immediate Volumisation: Provides quick results by restoring lost volume in areas like cheeks, jawline, and nasolabial folds.
- Collagen Stimulation: Encourages the production of natural collagen, improving skin quality over time.
- Long-Lasting Results: Effects are durable, typically lasting a year or more, depending on the individual’s metabolism and lifestyle.
- Non-Toxic and Non-Allergenic: Composed of substances similar to those found naturally in the body, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
