What is Hyperdiluted Radiesse?

Hyperdiluted Radiesse is simply Radiesse that has been diluted / thinned out, with a mixture of sterile saline solution and lidocaine.  This makes it an easily spreadable biostimulator capable of remodeling skin over a larger area.

When this diluted mixture is injected into areas of collagen loss, it triggers the body to produce new collagen and elastin. The result is a skin rejuvenating treatment with pronounced and visible smoother, firmer, younger-looking skin.

The benefits of this treatment are skin tightening and thickening, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and crepiness.  Treatment of the décolletage will also reduce the pigment from sun damage. Overall, skin tone, texture and elasticity are markedly improved.

Where can it be used?

-Neck lines and/or neck in patients with mild to moderate laxity

-Décolletage

-Buttocks with cellulitic dimples (in patients with moderate to severe cellulite) to reduce the appearance of dimpling

-Above knees to address the knee lines from lax skin with aging

How much diluted Radiesse is needed?

Radiesse is available by the syringe, and, according to current practice guidelines, treatment typically requires one syringe per area. The face and neck each usually require a single 1.5cc syringe per area, per session, while the chest requires only a full syringe. 

What is the downtime?

As with any filler injection, there can be some bruising, swelling and mild discomfort after the treatment.  Most clients tolerated this treatment well and are very satisfied with their results.

There can be a variable amount of bruising and swelling, which normally lasts up to a week.

How many treatments are needed?

One to three treatment sessions are usually required to achieve the desired aesthetic effects.  Two treatments are typical, though severe sun damage or severe skin laxity may require more.

These treatments are spaced out one month apart.  Though preliminary research shows that results with hyperdiluted Radiesse may last up to two years.  one will likely want to have one hyperdilute Radiesse treatment every 12 to 18 months for maintenance.
