The most common places are hands, neck and cheeks. At Skin Poet, we use Radiesse + hyperdiluted to stimulate collagen and elastin and improve firmness and qualiy.
Radiesse® treatments typically take one hour.
Each treatment involves a series of precise injections with a cannula, targeting specific areas of concern. YSkin results take time to appear of the coming months as the skin is regenerated.
Some people may experience slight pain or a pinching sensation at the injection sites, but it is generally well-tolerated. Topical numbing agent can be used to assist with comfort. I can also inject local anaesthetic prior to injections and supply distraction devices if required. A local anaesthetic is mixed into the product, and we use cannulas to keep the procedure comfortable and safe.
Immediately after your Radiesse® treatment you may notice some mild swelling, tenderness, or redness around the injection sites. These effects are completely normal and usually settle within a few hours, up to a few days.
Bruising can occasionally occur, depending on the area treated and individual skin sensitivity, but I take every precaution to minimise this risk.
It is common to experience small areas of firmness initially as the filler begins to integrate naturally with your tissues over the following four to six weeks.
We will provide you with clear aftercare instructions with a contact phone number and can recommend tailored skincare products to support your healing if desired.
You will start to see the benefits of your Radiesse® treatment immediately, with further improvement over the next four to six weeks as any swelling settles and your skin’s structure begins to respond to the calcium-based gel. The result is a firmer, more lifted appearance with enhanced facial definition.
Radiesse® results typically last 12 to 18 months, depending on the area treated, the amount used, and how quickly your body metabolises the product. Because Radiesse® also stimulates natural collagen production, many people notice longer-term improvement in skin quality beyond the initial volumising effect.
