Product information, made clear
What is Radiesse®?
Explore Radiesse for facial support, definition and collagen-focused skin quality, with an individual doctor assessment and a thoughtful plan for a natural-looking result.
Understand the material and approach
Radiesse combines calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres with a gel carrier. A structural approach can provide initial support, alongside collagen- and elastin-focused changes over time. A diluted preparation is discussed for selected skin-quality goals, with the technique and purpose explained by your doctor.
We are happy to explain the details, compare your options and answer the questions that matter to you. Explore the product range below, then read our clinic protocol at the end of this guide.
Understand the differences
Radiesse product range & approaches
Radiesse
Calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres in a gel carrier; the intended structural or skin-quality role depends on the protocol.
Radiesse (+)
A formulation containing lidocaine. Your doctor confirms the product selected and reviews allergy history.
Diluted / hyper-diluted protocol
A treatment technique rather than a separate brand variant. Dilution changes the purpose and is not equivalent to the same immediate structural volume.

Understanding Radiesse® and your options
The ingredients and the two stages of treatment
Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite, or CaHA, microspheres within a gel carrier. A structural treatment can provide initial support, while collagen-focused changes develop over time. We explain these roles separately so you understand what is being planned and when to review it. Radiesse (+) is the presentation that includes lidocaine; the named product proposed is explained at your consultation.
Structural and diluted approaches
Your goal helps guide the preparation and technique. A structural approach focuses on support and contour in selected areas. Diluted or hyper-diluted treatment is discussed for selected skin-quality goals, with the product distributed differently across the area. Your doctor explains the preparation, the proposed amount and what each part of the plan is intended to achieve.
A connected view of facial and body concerns
Cheeks, chin and jawline contribute to facial balance in different ways. The consultation considers those proportions together, alongside skin quality. The UK manufacturer also describes hand and décolletage treatment. If you would like to discuss a neck or body concern, we explain the area-specific assessment and the options available at the clinic. Your plan is designed around the change you would enjoy and the features you want to preserve.
The carrier, microspheres and treatment goal
It helps to understand the gel carrier and CaHA microspheres as two parts of the formulation. In a structural plan, the preparation and placement are selected for support and contour; collagen-focused changes are then followed over time. In a diluted plan, distribution and skin-quality goals become a different part of the conversation. We explain the technique, area and amount together so you can understand the intended role of every treatment step. Your review considers both the area treated and the progression described in your individual plan.

Where can Radiesse help?
The UK manufacturer describes lower-face, jawline, hand and décolletage treatments. At London Finsbury Clinic, the doctor assesses whether your priority is facial support, definition or skin quality, then explains the appropriate approach.
Facial structure and definition
A structural approach can support selected facial areas and soften deeper folds. We assess your proportions and existing volume before deciding where treatment would be helpful.
Skin firmness and texture
Radiesse stimulates collagen and elastin over time. A diluted approach distributes the treatment differently and is discussed for selected skin-quality goals.
Hands and décolletage
These areas have different anatomy and treatment needs from the face. Your doctor explains product choice, preparation, suitability and the expected recovery for the area.
A plan that stays natural
We listen to what you want to improve and preserve. Your plan explains the amount, technique, expected timing, alternatives and total cost before you decide.

Detailed product guide
Radiesse formulations and clinical approaches
Radiesse combines calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres with a gel carrier. The gel provides initial support, while the particles are associated with collagen-related tissue changes over time. The manufacturer also lists Radiesse (+), which includes lidocaine. Your doctor confirms the formulation and checks relevant allergy and treatment history.
Facial support and contour
A structural treatment is planned around the area requiring support, existing volume and facial proportions. Wrinkles, skin laxity and a change in contour are assessed separately rather than treated as the same problem.
Hands and skin-quality approaches
The manufacturer describes hand augmentation for volume loss on the backs of the hands. It also discusses a specific diluted approach for décolleté wrinkles in its US instructions. Local product directions and your individual suitability guide the treatment actually offered in London.
Why dilution changes the discussion
A diluted or hyperdiluted plan has a different treatment goal from concentrated structural placement. The doctor explains the proposed area, amount and technique before consent. A named dilution should not be assumed to suit every face or body area.
