Radiesse for the Body
Radiesse for the body uses calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), usually hyperdiluted, to stimulate collagen and elastin in thin or crepey skin on the neck, décolletage, upper arms, abdomen, thighs and knees. Treatment takes about 30–45 minutes with numbing cream; mild swelling settles within a few days.
What is Radiesse for the Body?
Hyperdilution spreads the product thinly so it improves skin quality rather than adding volume. See the facial Radiesse page for background.
Safety note: Korea restricts certain large-volume body filler uses (for example, breast augmentation with injectable filler is not permitted). Violacell only recommends body injectables in amounts and areas that your physician considers appropriate after an in-person assessment. See body filler safety.

How it works
Diluted CaHA is fanned under the skin with a cannula; microspheres stimulate collagen as the gel carrier is absorbed.
Who it is for
- Crepey neck, chest and arms
- Loose skin above the knees
- Abdominal skin texture
Results and how long they last
Collagen-based improvement builds over 2–3 months per session and can last a long time; maintenance is discussed at follow-up.
Risks, recovery and aftercare
Bruising, swelling, tenderness, nodules or unevenness, and rarely infection. Collagen stimulators cannot be dissolved, so conservative planning and correct dilution matter.
Frequently asked questions
Radiesse or Sculptra for body skin?
Both stimulate collagen; your doctor chooses by area, skin thickness and timeline.
