Body RADIESSE

• Skin thickness, creasing and firmness around the arms, knees or décolleté
• Clarify whether volume loss or skin quality is the main concern
• Plan a gradual approach around the area, previous procedures and recovery schedule

These procedures do not cause weight loss or build muscle. Marked laxity, stretch marks, cellulite or major enlargement may need a different approach. Skin thickness, scars, previous treatments and asymmetry are assessed first.

  The change you want, the impression you keep

  RADIESSE contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres in a gel carrier. A body consultation distinguishes local tissue support from a broader concern about skin firmness and fine creases.

  How it differs from similar options

  Undiluted and diluted use have different goals and volume effects. Overseas hand or décolleté indications do not establish Korean indications for other sites. CaHA is not readily removed with an HA-dissolving enzyme.

  Your starting point

  Consultation focus: Skin thickness, creasing and firmness around the arms, knees or décolleté. Agree on an achievable goal before discussing the product, amount on each side, pain control and follow-up. A large single-session volume is not a goal in itself. Treatment may be staged or advised against.

  Assessing the change

  Gel and swelling may influence the early shape; later tissue changes are assessed separately. Dilution, site and skin thickness guide the review schedule. A substantial immediate volume increase is a different goal from managing skin firmness.

1. 01

   Start with the concern

   Assessment considers standing posture, symmetry, skin thickness and elasticity, and the contribution of fat, muscle and bone. Previous injections or surgery may require records and further evaluation before a plan can be made.

What the procedure is like

• The initial shape includes swelling. Bruising, tenderness, tightness or firmness may occur; allow recovery time before important events.
• Bruising, swelling and tenderness can occur. Discuss exercise, sauna, swimming and long journeys beforehand. Pressure and massage instructions differ by product and area; follow your clinician’s specific advice. Compare progress in the same position and lighting after swelling settles.
• Compare photographs taken under consistent conditions and findings at review.
