From Volume Loss to Visible Firmness: Radiesse® in Action
Hilton Head Island | Bluffton
Struggling With Crepey Skin, Wrinkles, Or Volume Loss?
As we age, collagen production slows, leading to thinning skin, wrinkles, and lost volume. This can cause crepey texture on the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands, making skin appear aged and less firm. While topical skincare can help, it often isn’t enough to truly restore what time has taken away.
Radiesse® is a unique injectable treatment that not only provides immediate volume but also stimulates long-term collagen production, helping to naturally thicken and firm aging skin.
What is Radiesse® Collagen Stimulation?
Radiesse® is an FDA-approved dermal filler made with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), a naturally occurring mineral found in bones and teeth. Unlike traditional fillers that simply add volume, Radiesse® works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production, providing long-lasting improvement in skin quality and elasticity.
What Can Radiesse® Treat?
- Crepey, thinning skin on the face, neck, chest, arms, elbows, knees, and abdomen
- Lost volume in the hands, reducing the appearance of veins and tendons
- Moderate to severe wrinkles and folds, including nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Age-related volume loss in the mid-face
What is Radiesse® Collagen Stimulation?

Unlike traditional fillers that simply add volume, Radiesse® works by stimulating your body’s own collagen production, providing long-lasting improvement in skin quality and elasticity.
What is Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA)?
CaHA is a biocompatible mineral found naturally in the body. When used in a filler, the CaHA microspheres are suspended in a gel, providing instant structure while stimulating collagen production as the gel gradually absorbs.

FAQS About Collagen Stimulation with Radiesse®
Collagen stimulation refers to treatments that encourage the body's natural production of collagen, a protein essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. By stimulating collagen, these treatments help restore a youthful appearance by improving skin texture and reducing signs of aging.
Collagen-stimulating injectables are versatile and can be used on various parts of the body, including the face, neck, hands, arms, and abdomen. They are particularly effective in areas where the skin has become thin or crepey, helping to restore volume and improve skin quality.
