Collagen Stimulator
Radiesse in Dubai: Support Now, Collagen Over Time
Radiesse is a collagen stimulator made by Merz Aesthetics. It is made of tiny calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) particles in a smooth gel. The gel gives support straight after treatment, and over the following months the particles help your skin build new collagen. At Yeppeun Skin Clinic in Jumeirah 2, Dubai, our DHA-licensed doctor uses Radiesse to soften folds and support the lower face.
As we age, the skin loses collagen and the jawline can look softer. Radiesse can help on two levels: support you can see soon, and firmer-looking skin that develops over time.
Key Benefits
- Softer folds. Smile lines and marionette lines can look less deep.
- A more defined jawline. Radiesse (+) can add support along the jaw.
- Collagen support. The particles help your skin make new collagen and elastin over time.
- Long-lasting. Results can last up to 2 years.
- Other areas. A diluted form can improve skin on the back of the hands and the chest.
Who Needs This
Radiesse suits adults (18 and over) with folds, softening jawlines or thinning skin.
It may suit you if:
- you have moderate to deep smile lines or marionette lines
- your jawline has lost definition
- you want results that build gradually
- the backs of your hands look thin or bony
Radiesse is not used in the lips or around the eyes.
How It Works
The gel adds volume and lift where it is placed. Over the following months, the gel is absorbed and the CaHA particles act as a framework that encourages your body to make new collagen. Finally, your body slowly breaks the particles down.
Radiesse Results: What to Expect
Your Results, Step by Step

About Radiesse
Radiesse is made by Merz Aesthetics. It is one of the collagen stimulators our doctor may recommend, alongside Sculptra, Juvelook Volume and Ultracol. See all of them on our Collagen Stimulators page.
Radiesse is not hyaluronic acid, so it cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase. We use UAE-registered products, and you can ask to see the sealed pack.

Common side effects include swelling, redness, tenderness, bruising and itching. These usually settle over the following days.
Less often, small lumps (nodules) can form. A rare but serious risk is the product blocking a blood vessel. Call us straight away if you notice severe pain, white, blue or dark patches, or any change in your vision.
Who Should Not Have It
Radiesse is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Tell us if you have an active skin infection, severe allergies, a bleeding condition or a tendency to scar badly, or if you take blood thinners.
