Wangsimni Dermatology Clinic Radiesse: What Are the Actual Effects, How Long Do They Last, and How Is It Different from Other Collagen Boosters?

Radiesse newly introduced

Hello, this is Raon Dermatology Clinic at Wangsimni Station.

Skin loss of elasticity or fine wrinkles are not simply surface-level issues; they are also signs that the underlying structures are gradually losing strength. There are various ways to address this, but recently, interest has been higher than ever in approaches that help the skin regain its own strength. A representative example is Radiesse! I’ll organize the detailed information for you here :)

Radiesse newly introduced

Radiesse

Radiesse is a collagen booster made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) and a CMC gel that surrounds it. When these tiny spherical particles, similar to the components of human bone, are delivered into the skin, they form a natural-looking volume while also helping restore tissue elasticity. While conventional methods simply focus on adding moisture or temporary volume, Radiesse focuses on rebuilding the skin’s internal support structure.

It can also be applied to various areas, which is one of Radiesse’s unique features! It can be injected not only into hollow areas of the front cheeks or side cheeks, but also into deep nasolabial folds to create smoother facial contours. In addition, it can help firm loose facial lines caused by reduced elasticity, and positive changes can be expected for fine wrinkles in the neck area, which is often difficult to manage. When you want long-lasting results that remain for more than a year while reducing concerns about clumping or nodules, it becomes a suitable option :)

<Main application areas for Radiesse>

• Improvement of hollowness in the front cheeks / side cheeks / nasolabial folds

• Reinforcement of sagging facial contours

• Improvement of fine neck wrinkles

How Radiesse works

It helps to understand the ingredients better! CMC gel, which makes up 70% of the total formula, creates immediate volume right after injection, producing a visible change. Over the course of 1 to 3 months, this gel component is gradually absorbed by the body and disappears! During this process, the remaining 30% of CaHA particles begin to play their main role by continuously stimulating fibroblasts in the skin.

This stage, which induces the regeneration of the body’s own tissues, can be considered the core of Radiesse. The skin stimulated by the CaHA particles produces both collagen and elastin, and the area left behind as the CMC gel disappears is densely filled with the skin’s own elasticity-related cells! As these metabolic processes take place, the ingredients are naturally broken down and eliminated, which makes it highly stable. Rather than leaving artificial substances in the body for a long time, your own tissue replaces that space, so the results become even more natural over time.

How Radiesse works

Main effects of Radiesse

The practical effects you can get from Radiesse go beyond simply smoothing wrinkles. First, thanks to the CMC gel, you can immediately see deep wrinkles or sunken areas fill out. After that, as the skin’s elastic tissues begin to regenerate on their own, skin remodeling takes place! Because the skin itself becomes thicker and more resilient, accompanied by improved density, you may feel that the overall texture becomes smoother.

It also shows excellent physical support. Radiesse has very high viscoelasticity, so it is less affected by gravity and has outstanding ability to firmly support contour lines such as the jawline and cheekbones without sagging. The effect also lasts for about 12 to 18 months, which is longer than that of general hyaluronic acid products! Even after all the ingredient has disappeared, the collagen tissue that was generated remains for a certain period, so it can be an efficient method for long-term skin health management.

<Main effects of Radiesse>

• Immediate volume up / regeneration of your own collagen & elastin

• Strong lifting / contour correction

• Skin remodeling / long-lasting results

Main effects of Radiesse

What is different?

Compared with other widely known methods, Radiesse’s differentiating points become even clearer. While ordinary HA fillers focus only on creating immediate volume and Juvelook Volume focuses on gradual regeneration, Radiesse appropriately combines the strengths of both! In particular, its very high support and strong ability to hold contours are major factors that satisfy those who want to define facial lines more clearly.

In addition, by adjusting the dilution concentration, Radiesse can target the deeper layer of the dermis, which existing collagen boosters have difficulty reaching. Ingredients precisely delivered to the deeper dermis lead to refined improvement even in very fine wrinkles around the mouth and neck! Because customized treatment is possible depending on skin thickness and wrinkle depth in each area, more precise care becomes possible. In this way, the ability to target a wide range from deep layers to shallow layers can be said to be Radiesse’s distinctive strength.

Recommended for these people!

So in what situations can Radiesse be recommended specifically~? First, it can be recommended for people who need a volume effect but feel burdened by the artificial look of fillers, right? At the same time, it is also useful when you want to see changes faster than with other collagen boosters. As mentioned earlier, it can also be applied to areas that require delicate correction, such as fine wrinkles around the mouth or on the neck, so its range of use is very broad!

However, when undergoing Radiesse, there are a few things that need careful attention. First, unlike hyaluronic acid ingredients, it cannot be dissolved with a separate reversal agent, so a very careful and precise approach is required from the start. Also, if a high concentration is injected into an overly thin skin layer, there is a risk of nodules, so you must consult thoroughly with an experienced specialist! Please keep in mind that only when the procedure is performed with a clear understanding of the skin’s characteristics and anatomical structure can side effects be prevented and the treatment be used in a positive way :)

<Recommended candidates>

• Concerned about the volume effect of fillers / want long-lasting results

• Need both volume and elasticity / existing collagen boosters feel slow

• Need improvement of fine wrinkles around the mouth or on the neck
