In the context of aesthetic medicine, each treatment must be carefully selected according to the patient’s skin type and needs, as well as the time of year.
Some therapies, such as ablative laser treatments, are often paused during the summer due to the increased risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation associated with sun exposure. Therefore, it is important to have safe and effective alternatives that can be used during this time of year. One such alternative is Radiesse.
Radiesse is a dermal biostimulator consisting of calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres suspended in a carrier gel. Its versatility and safety profile make it an excellent choice for treating atrophic scarring and loss of firmness without increasing photosensitivity risk.
Why should you consider Radiesse in the summer?
- Immediate Volumetric Effect
When injected into the subdermal layer of the skin, Radiesse provides structural support and enhances volume in sunken areas, such as those with scarring. This results in immediate, visible correction.
- Long-term collagen stimulation
The hydroxyapatite particles act as a matrix that stimulates the natural production of types I and III collagen. Over time, this improves skin quality, promoting a firmer, healthier appearance.
- Non-photosensitising
Unlike other treatments, Radiesse does not make the skin sensitive to sunlight, making it especially useful in summer. However, it is recommended that you avoid direct sun exposure and intense physical exercise for the first 24–48 hours after the procedure.
Integral treatment for the face, neck and décolleté.
In addition to treating atrophic scars, this product is used to tackle skin flaccidity and improve firmness in areas such as the neck and décolleté. It has a lifting effect and can be used to redefine contours.
For these purposes, it can be applied in a diluted form to achieve deep dermal bio-remodelling and progressive tightening, which is ideal for areas affected by photo-ageing.
This case illustrates how a minimally invasive treatment can offer aesthetic and therapeutic benefits at times of the year when many other options are not possible. Radiesse is a valuable and safe tool for improving the structure, firmness and overall appearance of atrophic scars.
