Radiesse
As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen and elastin, leading to volume loss, wrinkles, and a less youthful appearance. If you're looking for a long-lasting solution to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and improve skin quality, Radiesse® might be the ideal treatment for you. At Thames Aesthetics, we offer expert Radiesse treatments tailored to your individual needs, helping you achieve a naturally refreshed and rejuvenated look.

Looking Tired and Aged?
How Radiesse Can Help
Restores Volume: Radiesse immediately adds volume to areas like cheeks and temples, restoring a youthful fullness.
Smooths Deep Wrinkles: The filler effectively reduces the appearance of nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and other deep wrinkles.
Redefines the Jawline: Radiesse can be strategically injected to improve jawline definition and create a more sculpted appearance.
Rejuvenates hand: Radiesse can help restore lost volume on the back of the hands, reducing the appearance of veins and tendons for a more youthful look.
Long-Lasting Results: Unlike some hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse stimulates your body's own collagen production, providing results that can last for a year or more in many patients.
Restore a Youthful Look: Radiesse provides natural look by restoring lost volume.
What is Radiesse?
Radiesse® is a unique dermal filler composed of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that primarily work by attracting water, Radiesse works in two phases:
Immediate Volume Restoration: The gel carrier provides immediate volume upon injection, filling in wrinkles and folds.
Collagen Stimulation: Over time, the CaHA microspheres stimulate your body's fibroblasts to produce new collagen. This new collagen provides a long-term scaffolding for the skin, improving its structure and elasticity. The CaHA is eventually metabolised by the body, leaving behind only your natural collagen.
Key Points:
Biocompatible and Biodegradable: Radiesse is made of a substance naturally found in the body, making it biocompatible and biodegradable.
Clinically Proven: Radiesse has a proven track record of safety and efficacy.
Procedure
Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with one of our experienced practitioners. We'll discuss your concerns, assess your skin, and determine if Radiesse is the right treatment for you. We'll also explain the procedure, potential side effects, and aftercare instructions.
Preparation: The treatment area will be cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort.
Injection: Radiesse is injected using a fine needle or cannula into the targeted areas. Our practitioners use precise techniques to ensure natural-looking results.
Post-Treatment: You may experience some mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but this typically subsides within a few days.1 We'll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing.
Results: You'll see immediate improvement in volume and wrinkle reduction. The full results will continue to develop over the following weeks and months as collagen production increases.
Results
The results of Radiesse treatments can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism, age, and the area treated. Over time, the body gradually absorbs the filler, but the collagen production stimulated by Radiesse can help maintain a more youthful appearance even after the filler has dissipated.
Frequently Asked Questions

A typical Radiesse treatment session takes approximately 30–60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. This includes time for consultation and preparation.
