At Hannah Clune Aesthetics, Radiesse is used to restore structure, improve skin quality, and stimulate your body’s natural collagen production — creating a more lifted, firmer, and rejuvenated appearance.
Based in Barnstaple, North Devon, all treatments are carried out by an experienced Aesthetic Nurse Prescriber, with a strong focus on safety, precision, and subtle, natural results.
This treatment is ideal for those looking to improve skin quality and structure over time, rather than simply adding temporary volume.
RADIESSE
What can RADIESSE help with?
• Cheeks and mid-face (structure and lift)
• Jawline and chin definition
• Lower face rejuvenation
• Neck (when diluted)
• Hands (volume loss and skin quality)
Radiesse can also be used in a diluted form to improve skin quality and stimulate collagen.
Some treatment areas may be considered off-label but are widely used in clinical practice.
Radiesse is a biostimulatory dermal filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier.
It works in two ways:
• Immediate effect — providing structure and volume
• Longer-term effect — stimulating collagen production
As the gel carrier is gradually absorbed, your body produces new collagen, helping to improve firmness, elasticity, and overall skin quality.
HOW DOES RADIESSE WORK?
Results are visible immediately following treatment due to the initial structural support.
Over time, results continue to improve as collagen production is stimulated.
The overall effect is a more lifted, firmer, and naturally rejuvenated appearance.
WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?
Results typically last around 12 to 18 months, although this can vary between individuals.
Factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, treatment area, and individual response can influence longevity.
Ongoing treatments may be required to maintain results.
HOW LONG DOES RADIESSE LAST?
Radiesse is gradually broken down and cleared by the body through natural processes.
It is made up of two components, which are metabolised differently:
• The gel carrier is gradually absorbed over a period of weeks to months
• The calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres are broken down more slowly through natural cellular processes
These particles are eventually metabolised into substances naturally found in the body and eliminated through normal physiological pathways.
During this process, collagen production is stimulated, meaning your body gradually replaces the product with its own natural tissue.
Radiesse does not remain permanently in the body.
