With age, the production of collagen and elastin in the skin decreases, which inevitably leads to the formation of aging changes. In this case, you may notice sagging, tissue deposition, lines and wrinkles on the skin. The expression can look tired, sad or angry, even if you feel refreshed and happy. The key factors in fading the signs of aging and smoothing lines are adding fullness and lifting features. With Radiesse, you can make your face look as youthful as you feel inside.
​
Radiesse is one of the most popular fillers on the market. The product is used worldwide and has been available for over 10 years. Long research work and clinical experience guarantee customers a safe product and long-lasting, natural results. Customer satisfaction with Radiesse treatments is high: 90% are satisfied with the results of the treatment. The effectiveness has also been proven in numerous scientific studies. Radiesse has received FDA and CE approval as a plastic and reconstructive surgery product in 2006.
What is the treatment?
Radiesse is a new generation filler and biostimulator that has grown in popularity year by year. Radiesse's innovative technology and unique composition restores the skin's volume and stimulates the skin's own collagen production. It works in three ways to prevent and treat aging changes: it lifts features, renews the skin and helps with wrinkles and fine lines.
​
The active ingredient of Radiesse filler gel is calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) and it consists of calcium microparticles. The uplifting effect of the treatment is visible immediately and the effects on the skin's function are long-lasting: Radiesse stimulates the connective tissue cells of the dermis, so that collagen formation is enhanced for even months, making the skin stronger and more elastic. Over time, the gel contained in the filler is absorbed and the calcium microparticles break down in the body's metabolism, leaving only fresh collagen produced by the skin itself - resulting in a soft, natural look on the face.
​
What kind of results can be achieved with the treatment?
The results of Radiesse are immediately visible. The treatment restores a beautiful, natural, youthful look to the skin. Its results are excellent both in shaping the face, improving the overall quality of the skin and smoothing lines. At Radiesse, we can treat the face and body in a variety of ways, e.g. the skin of the neck, décolletage and backs of the hands. Its unique composition boosts the skin's own collagen production and tightens sagging skin. The skin looks clearly fresher and firmer.
Indications for use of Radiesse are e.g.
- Removal of lack of volume, increase of fullness
- Fading of nasolabial and marionette lines
- Clarification and shaping of the jaw line
- Shaping the middle face, bringing poise to the face
- Firming of sagging skin

Healing time
The treatment uses a cannula or a thin needle, thanks to which the recovery time is short. Most of Klinik Linnea's clients immediately return to work and lead a normal life after the treatment. Some customers may experience normal side effects such as swelling, soreness or bruising in the injection area. The above-mentioned reactions usually disappear in a couple of days and we always recommend to be prepared for them when thinking about the time for treatment. ​If the side effects mentioned above last for more than a week or you experience other side effects, contact the treating doctor or nurse.
​
Maintenance of results
The most optimal and long-lasting results are obtained in mesotherapy with serial treatment. The amount of serial treatment is always planned in more detail according to the needs of your skin during the consultation (3-7 times). Remember to also take care of your skin with home care products. Home care further improves treatment results and also maintains them. Klinik Linnea recommends high-quality Zo Skin Health products for home care.
