Biostimulators
Radiesse, volume today and collagen tomorrow.
Radiesse in Raleigh NC is the Merz biostimulator that works as both an immediate volumizer and a long-term collagen stimulator. Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) has been FDA-approved since 2006 and is uniquely dual-purpose. Standard Radiesse provides instant volume plus gradual collagen over 12 to 18 months. Hyperdilute Radiesse focuses on skin quality, tightening, and texture improvement on the neck, hands, décolleté, and knees.

What this is
Standard Radiesse vs. Hyperdilute Radiesse
Standard Radiesse is thick and robust. Provides immediate volume the day of treatment, plus gradual collagen stimulation over 12 to 18 months. Ideal for jawline contouring, chin projection, deeper nasolabial folds, and hand rejuvenation.
Hyperdilute Radiesse is Radiesse diluted with saline or lidocaine. Less volumizing, more skin-quality focused. Ideal for the neck, décolleté, hands, and knees, where traditional volumizing filler would look wrong but collagen stimulation is desired.
Both work via the same mechanism. The difference is concentration and intended effect.

Common questions
Common questions about Radiesse
Hyperdilute Radiesse is Radiesse diluted with saline, used for skin quality and mild tightening on the neck, chest, hands, and knees rather than adding volume. Hyperdilute Radiesse is Radiesse diluted with saline or lidocaine, used primarily for improving skin quality, mild tightening, and texture rather than adding significant volume. It is excellent for the neck, décolleté, hands, and knees, where traditional volumizing filler would look wrong but collagen stimulation is desired.
