Radiesse is Merz's calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) biostimulator, FDA-approved for facial folds and hand volume. It lifts immediately like a filler while stimulating your own collagen for longer-term improvement, lasting about a year or more. Hyper-diluted, it's used to tighten skin on the neck and body.
Radiesse is Merz's calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) injectable — a dual-action product that provides immediate lift like a filler while its microspheres stimulate the body's own collagen for longer-term improvement. It's used to restore facial folds, define the jawline, and rejuvenate the backs of the hands, and when hyper-diluted it works as a skin-tightening 'biostimulator wash.' Results last about a year or more.
For a practice, Radiesse is versatile and high-value: it delivers the instant gratification patients want plus the collagen-building benefit that improves skin over time, and the hyper-dilute technique opens up neck, décolleté, and body indications. Previewing the immediate contour on the patient's own photo, while explaining the ongoing collagen benefit, converts and supports a staged plan.

Explore concernCommon questions patients ask about Radiesse — and what practices should be ready to answer.
Both. It provides immediate volume like a filler, while its calcium-based microspheres stimulate your own collagen over the following months for a longer-lasting result.
A technique where Radiesse is diluted and spread over a larger area — like the neck, décolleté, or body — to stimulate collagen and tighten skin rather than add focal volume.
About 12 months or more, with the collagen-stimulating benefit contributing to longevity.
