Benefits of Radiesse Filler
1. Restored Volume: Radiesse Filler is renowned for its ability to restore lost volume, redefining facial contours and providing a youthful plumpness that radiates vitality.
2. Collagen Boosting: Beyond immediate results, Radiesse stimulates collagen production, offering ongoing improvement to your skin’s texture and resilience.
Exploring the Treatment
1. Calcium Hydroxylapatite Magic: Radiesse Filler contains calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres that work to instantly lift and volumise the treated area. Over time, the filler stimulates collagen production, ensuring long-lasting benefits.
2. Tailored for You: Each face tells a unique story. Our experienced practitioners carefully assess your facial structure, determining the optimal placement for the filler to achieve natural-looking results.

Frequently Asked Questions: Radiesse®
What is Radiesse®?
Radiesse® is an injectable treatment made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres in a smooth gel. It provides immediate volume when used as a filler, and also stimulates the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production for longer-lasting improvements. At TM Aesthetics in Glasgow and Lenzie, we use Radiesse® both as a filler and in a diluted form for skin rejuvenation.
How is Radiesse® used as a filler?
In its standard form, Radiesse® acts like a dermal filler, restoring lost volume and definition. It is particularly effective in the cheeks, chin, jawline, and hands, giving immediate structure and contour.
What is diluted (hyperdilute) Radiesse®?
When Radiesse® is diluted with saline and lidocaine, it no longer behaves as a filler. Instead, it acts as a biostimulator, encouraging new collagen and elastin formation in the skin. This improves skin quality, thickness, and firmness without adding bulk. It is commonly used for the face, neck, décolletage, arms, abdomen, and buttocks.
How does Radiesse® improve skin and collagen?
The CaHA microspheres in Radiesse® stimulate fibroblasts to produce fresh collagen and elastin over time. This strengthens the skin’s structure, improves elasticity, and reduces crepiness — particularly noticeable when Radiesse® is used in its hyperdilute form.
What areas can Radiesse® treat?
- Cheeks, chin, and jawline (volume and contouring)
- Hands (restoring volume and reducing crepey texture)
- Face, neck, and décolletage (skin rejuvenation with hyperdilute Radiesse®)
- Arms, abdomen, and buttocks (skin tightening and firmness with hyperdilute Radiesse®)
How many Radiesse® sessions are needed for skin improvement?
For skin quality, Radiesse® in hyperdilute form usually requires 1–2 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Results continue to develop over 2–3 months and may last 12–18 months.
How long does Radiesse® last as a filler?
When used as a filler for volume, results are visible immediately and typically last 12–18 months, depending on the area and individual factors.
Is Radiesse® safe?
Yes. Radiesse® has an established safety record and is FDA-approved. Side effects are usually mild, including redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. Treatments at TM Aesthetics are performed by Dr Tej Murthy in a clinical, safe environment.
What is the difference between Radiesse® and hyaluronic acid fillers?
Hyaluronic acid fillers are primarily used to restore volume and hydration. They may have a small, indirect collagen-stimulating effect, but this is limited. Radiesse®, by contrast, is designed to stimulate collagen and elastin more effectively, making it both a volumiser and a biostimulator.
When will I see results from Radiesse® collagen stimulation?
Some improvement is visible immediately after treatment. The skin quality benefits from collagen stimulation develop more gradually over 2–3 months, with results lasting up to 18 months.
Can Radiesse® be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Radiesse® can be combined with hyaluronic acid fillers for fine lines, anti-wrinkle injections, skin boosters, or polynucleotides to achieve a full-face rejuvenation plan tailored to your needs.
