Radiesse
A Powerful Collagen Stimulator
A unique filler and/or skin booster for face, neck and hands- made up of Calcium Hydroxylapatite. Restores volume subtly, while stimulating your skin’s regenerative nature over time.
Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) is a biocompatible substance that mimics the body’s natural calcium found in bones and teeth. CaHA microspheres stimulate collagen production in the skin.
How does it work?
Rediscover healthy skin from within—a revolutionary duel action injectable that creates immediate subtle lift, whilst stimulating your body’s natural collagen production to rejuvenate skin from the inside out.
Treatment Approach
Clinically Proven Results
As we grow older, the hands can also lose volume and firmness due to fat depletion, skin thinning, and tissues losing elasticity. Hands are particularly susceptible to UV damage in New Zealand- which can accelerate the signs of ageing. This sometimes-premature progression can cause bones, tendons, joints, and veins in the hands to become more prominent, which can give the hands an aged or frail appearance. Radiesse has significant effects on smoothing the skin’s surface, and stimulating tissue rejuvenation.
NCTF and Radiesse work together to address both skin quality and facial structure, creating a comprehensive and natural rejuvenation approach.
NCTF is a powerful revitalising injectable that deeply hydrates the skin and delivers essential vitamins, antioxidants, and hyaluronic acid to improve texture, elasticity, and radiance.
Radiesse is a biostimulatory injectable that provides immediate structural support while stimulating your body’s natural collagen production over time. Rather than simply filling, it strengthens the skin from within, improving firmness, contour, and long-term skin quality.
When combined, NCTF enhances hydration and dermal vitality, while Radiesse improves firmness and structural integrity. This synergy results in smoother, stronger, more resilient skin with gradual, natural-looking improvement.

FAQ's
Radiesse is classed as a Dermal Filler. However, it can be used as a bio-stimulator for skin rejuvenation purposes to target cellular ageing.
With the 1:1 dilution, 50% will be subtle volume and the calcium will remain in the tissue for up to 18months. Repeating the treatment at 6-12 months will further stimulate collagen production to help improve skin quality.
Support Collagen Production
Since Radiesse relies on collagen stimulation, your lifestyle matters:
Sun protection daily (UV exposure breaks down collagen)
Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol
Maintain a balanced diet rich in protein, vitamin C, and antioxidants
Stay well hydrated
Healthy skin supports stronger, longer-lasting results.
Combine with Complementary Treatments
Radiesse results can be enhanced and prolonged when combined with other treatments, such as:
Skin boosters (e.g. Profhilo) to improve hydration and elasticity
Energy-based treatments (RF or ultrasound) to tighten skin and stimulate collagen
- In clinic Peels – Face Time Aesthetics works alongside Illuminate Me in Auckland in clinic and HK Aesthetics in Taupo for all your beauty therapy needs.
Medical-grade skincare with retinoids and antioxidants
These treatments improve overall skin quality, allowing Radiesse to perform better for longer.
Maintain Overall Facial Balance
Ageing affects the face as a whole. Maintaining results may involve:
Treating adjacent areas as they change over time
Adjusting treatment plans rather than repeating the same injection pattern every year
A tailored, long-term approach delivers the most natural and consistent results.
If you are looking to enhance your facial aesthetic, discussing other aspects of ageing or beautification will allow you to understand the options available to you.
Radiesse is suitable for all skin types. Typically when you start to see signs of skin aging, advanced skin treatments will be of benefit.
Signs of ageing can begin to appear in your late 20s to early 30s. Radiesse is particularly powerful for advanced signs of ageing.
You may be a good candidate for Radiesse skin boosting if you:
Notice loss of skin firmness or elasticity
Have crepey, thin, or lax skin
Want to improve skin texture and strength rather than volume
Prefer gradual, natural-looking results
Are experiencing early to moderate signs of ageing
Want a treatment that improves skin quality at a deeper level
Radiesse may not be suitable for everyone. Here are some contraindications:
- Allergies: Individuals with a known allergy to any component of Radiesse, including calcium hydroxylapatite or lidocaine, should avoid the treatment.
- Active Skin Conditions: Those with active infections, skin irritations, or inflammatory skin conditions in the treatment area should wait until these issues are resolved.
- Autoimmune Disorders: Individuals with autoimmune diseases that affect skin healing may be advised against using Radiesse.
- Pregnancy or Breastfeeding: Safety during pregnancy or breastfeeding hasn’t been established, so it’s generally recommended to avoid treatment during this time.
- Blood Clotting Disorders: Those with a history of blood clotting disorders or who are on blood thinners may be at higher risk for bruising and complications.
- Recent Surgery or Procedures: If you’ve had recent facial surgery or other injectable treatments, consult with your practitioner about the appropriate waiting period before receiving Radiesse.
- Age Restrictions: While Radiesse is commonly used in adults, it is not recommended for individuals under 18. Radiesse is suitable to treat signs of ageing and usually would not be the right choose if you are under 30yo
