RADIESSE® is an injectable treatment based on calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) that can help improve facial contours, restore selected areas of volume loss and support the skin’s natural collagen production.
At Clínica Be Dharma in Medellín, every RADIESSE treatment begins with a personalized medical assessment. The goal is not simply to add volume, but to understand your facial proportions, skin quality and individual concerns before defining the most appropriate treatment plan.
Depending on the treatment area, technique and individual response, the effects of RADIESSE may remain visible for an extended period. Results and duration can vary from one patient to another.
RADIESSE is an injectable dermal filler and biostimulator whose main component is synthetic calcium hydroxylapatite, commonly known as CaHA.
Once injected, the product can provide an initial volumizing and contouring effect while also supporting processes involved in collagen production over time.
This combination makes RADIESSE different from treatments designed exclusively to provide volume: depending on the indication and treatment technique, it may also be used as part of a strategy focused on improving skin structure, firmness and facial definition.
Because each face and each treatment area is different, the amount of product, injection technique and areas treated must always be determined during a medical assessment.
RADIESSE offers a combination of immediate structural correction and progressive biostimulation.
Some of its potential benefits include:
The treatment areas considered for RADIESSE depend on your anatomy, the product formulation, medical indication and the technique selected by your physician.
Loss of facial support can change the appearance of the cheeks and overall facial proportions. When medically appropriate, RADIESSE may be incorporated into a facial treatment plan designed to improve structural support and contour.
Nasolabial folds are the lines that extend from the sides of the nose toward the corners of the mouth. RADIESSE is FDA-approved for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds.
Changes in facial structure and soft tissues can make the lower face appear less defined over time. RADIESSE (+) has an indication for improving moderate to severe loss of jawline contour in adults over the age of 21. Treatment must be planned according to facial anatomy and individual proportions.
Volume loss on the back of the hands may make veins, tendons and underlying structures appear more visible. RADIESSE is also indicated for hand augmentation to correct volume loss on the dorsum of the hands.
Before RADIESSE treatment, changes such as facial volume loss, deeper folds or reduced definition may make certain areas appear less supported.
After treatment, selected contours may look more defined and facial folds may appear smoother. Because RADIESSE also acts as a biostimulator, additional changes in skin structure and quality may develop progressively.
Results vary according to anatomy, age, skin quality, the amount of product used, the treatment area and individual response.
Before-and-after photographs should always be interpreted as examples of individual patient outcomes rather than a guarantee of a specific result.
Every patient starts from a different facial structure, skin condition and aesthetic goal.
For this reason, RADIESSE results should be evaluated individually. During your consultation at Clínica Be Dharma, your physician will determine whether this treatment is appropriate for your concerns and what type of result can reasonably be expected in your particular case.
The duration of RADIESSE varies from patient to patient and depends on factors such as the treatment area, amount of product, technique, metabolism and individual tissue characteristics.
Results may remain visible for an extended period, and clinical information for RADIESSE has reported results lasting up to approximately two years in certain indications and patients.
A medical assessment is necessary to establish realistic expectations for your individual treatment.
RADIESSE is injected beneath the skin in a plane selected according to the treatment objective.
Its gel carrier provides initial volume and structural support, while calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres act as a scaffold that supports processes involved in collagen production.
As the carrier gel is gradually absorbed, the biostimulatory effect can contribute to progressive improvements in skin structure and quality.
Like any injectable medical treatment, RADIESSE may cause side effects.
Temporary reactions can include swelling, redness, bruising, tenderness, itching or discomfort at the injection site.
Less common but more serious complications can also occur with dermal fillers. This is one of the reasons why injectable treatments should be performed by appropriately trained medical professionals with knowledge of facial anatomy and proper injection techniques.
RADIESSE is not appropriate for every patient. Your medical history, allergies, medications and other relevant conditions should be reviewed before treatment.
Recommendations vary depending on the patient and the area being treated.
Before your procedure, inform your physician about medications, supplements, allergies, previous aesthetic treatments and relevant medical conditions.
After treatment, follow the personalized instructions provided by your medical team. Temporary swelling, bruising or sensitivity may occur during the first few days.
If you experience an unexpected or concerning reaction after treatment, contact your treating medical team promptly.
The cost of RADIESSE in Colombia can vary depending on several factors.
One of the most important is the amount of product required. Some patients may require a different number of syringes depending on their anatomy, treatment objectives and the size or number of areas being treated.
Other factors that can influence the cost include:
For this reason, an exact price should be established only after a personalized medical assessment.
At Clínica Be Dharma, we first evaluate your anatomy and aesthetic goals before recommending the amount of product or treatment approach.
The price of RADIESSE depends primarily on the amount of product required and the areas that will be treated.
There is no single treatment plan that is appropriate for every patient. One person may require a different quantity or technique than another, even when both are interested in treating the same general area.
A medical consultation allows us to establish:
