Radiesse in Miraflores, Lima
Calcium hydroxylapatite collagen biostimulator: immediate volume + progressive rejuvenation in a single treatment. Visible results from the first session.
What is Radiesse?
Radiesse is an FDA-approved injectable collagen biostimulator based on calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA). What sets it apart from other treatments is its dual mechanism of action: it provides immediate volume the moment of application and simultaneously stimulates the natural production of new collagen over the following months.
Radiesse is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres (a mineral naturally present in human bones and teeth) suspended in an aqueous gel carrier. When injected, the gel provides immediate structure and volume, while the CaHA microspheres act as a scaffold that stimulates fibroblasts to generate type I and type III collagen. Over time, both the gel and the microspheres are naturally metabolized, but the new collagen generated by your own body remains.
At Elyzea, our advanced aesthetic medicine center in Miraflores, Lima, every Radiesse treatment is planned and performed by medical professionals under the supervision of Dra. Geldres, board-certified plastic surgeon. We use advanced injection techniques, including the diluted Radiesse protocol to enhance overall skin quality.

How does Radiesse work?
Radiesse treatment at Elyzea is performed in a controlled clinical environment under direct supervision of our medical team. Each session lasts approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
Consultation and planning: Our medical team performs a complete facial evaluation, analyzing volume loss, skin quality, and facial contours. A personalized treatment plan is designed and we determine whether the concentrated protocol, diluted protocol, or a combination of both is best suited to your goals.
Preparation: The treatment area is cleaned and topical or local anesthesia is applied. Radiesse contains lidocaine integrated into its formulation, contributing to a more comfortable procedure.
Injection (concentrated protocol): To restore volume in specific areas such as nasolabial folds, jawline, or cheeks, the product is injected deeply via cannula or needle, depositing the material precisely in the correct anatomical planes to achieve a natural lifting and supporting effect.
Injection (diluted protocol): To improve overall skin quality, Radiesse is diluted with saline solution and/or lidocaine and applied more superficially and distributed across broader areas like the neck, décolletage, hands, or arms, stimulating collagen production homogeneously.
Finishing: A gentle massage is performed to optimize product distribution. You can resume daily activities immediately, following the post-treatment care instructions we provide.
Who is Radiesse ideal for?
Radiesse is ideal for people seeking visible results from the first session, combining the immediate volume effect with the long-term benefits of collagen biostimulation. It is especially effective from age 30 onward, when collagen loss begins to be clinically evident.
Facial areas (concentrated protocol): Nasolabial folds (deep creases), jawline (facial oval definition), cheeks and cheekbones (volume restoration), chin (projection and definition), marionette lines.
Hands: Radiesse is one of the few injectable treatments FDA-approved specifically for hand rejuvenation. It restores lost volume on the back of the hands, masking prominent tendons and veins and improving overall appearance.
Diluted protocol areas: Neck (horizontal lines and laxity), décolletage, inner arms, inner thighs, and abdomen (skin quality improvement).
Ideal candidate: People who want comprehensive rejuvenation with both immediate and progressive results. It's also an excellent option for those seeking an alternative or complement to hyaluronic acid fillers, especially in areas requiring structural support.
Not recommended for: Pregnant or breastfeeding women, people allergic to any product component, patients with active infections in the treatment area, or people with severe coagulation disorders or a tendency to form keloids.
Results & Recovery
One of Radiesse's main advantages is that it combines immediate results with progressive improvements, offering satisfaction from day one and growing benefits over time.
Immediate effect (day 1): From the moment of injection, the gel carrier and CaHA microspheres provide visible volume and structure. Facial contours look more defined, folds softened, skin smoother. There may be slight initial over-projection from swelling, which stabilizes in 48 to 72 hours.
Biostimulation phase (months 1-6): While the gel carrier is gradually reabsorbed, the CaHA microspheres actively stimulate type I and III collagen production around them. This neocollagenesis progressively replaces the gel volume with your own tissue, maintaining and enhancing the initial results.
Mature results (months 6-18): The microspheres are naturally metabolized (broken down into calcium and phosphate, minerals the body uses normally), but the new collagen remains. Results are maintained naturally and harmoniously for 12 to 18 months.
Recovery: Recovery time is minimal. You can resume normal activities the same day of treatment. The most common side effects are redness, mild swelling, tenderness, and small bruises at injection points, which usually resolve in 3 to 7 days. We recommend avoiding intense exercise, direct sun exposure, and extreme temperatures during the first 24 to 48 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions about Radiesse
Radiesse is an FDA-approved injectable collagen biostimulator based on calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA). It has dual action: it provides immediate volume thanks to the gel carrier and CaHA microspheres, and simultaneously stimulates the natural production of new collagen around the microspheres. Over time, the gel is reabsorbed and the microspheres are metabolized, but the collagen generated remains.
Both are collagen biostimulators but work differently. Radiesse offers immediate volume from the first session in addition to stimulating collagen, while Sculptra works exclusively through gradual biostimulation with no immediate filling effect. Radiesse uses calcium hydroxylapatite and generally requires 1-2 sessions, while Sculptra uses poly-L-lactic acid and requires 2-3 sessions. The choice depends on each patient's specific needs.
Yes, one of Radiesse's main advantages is that it provides visible results from the moment of application. The gel carrier and CaHA microspheres deliver immediate volume. Additionally, collagen stimulation continues to improve results over the following 12 to 18 months.
Radiesse results can last between 12 and 18 months, depending on the area treated and individual factors. The immediate volume effect is maintained while the microspheres are present, and new collagen production prolongs and complements results as the product is naturally metabolized.
Yes, Radiesse is FDA-approved specifically for hand rejuvenation. It's one of the few injectable treatments with this indication. It restores lost volume on the back of the hands, masks prominent tendons and veins, and improves the skin quality of the area.
The diluted Radiesse protocol (also known as Radiesse hyperdilute) involves diluting the product with saline solution and/or lidocaine to apply it more superficially and distributed across broader areas. It's used to improve overall skin quality, treating mild laxity, irregular texture, and loss of luminosity in areas like neck, décolletage, arms, and inner thighs.
The most common side effects are mild and temporary: redness, swelling, tenderness, and small bruises at injection points. They usually resolve in 3 to 7 days. Rarely, palpable nodules may appear. The procedure is performed with topical or local anesthesia to minimize discomfort.
