Dilute and Hyperdilute Radiesse® is a refined, biostimulatory approach to skin rejuvenation, designed for larger, fragile areas like the chest, neck, and hands. By softening crepiness, restoring elasticity, and improving texture, this treatment delivers a subtle lift and enhances skin strength and texture in a natural way.
Collagen Remodeling for Crepey, Delicate Skin
Dilute and Hyperdilute Radiesse® is a refined biostimulatory treatment designed to restore strength, elasticity, and texture in delicate areas like the chest, neck, and hands. By blending Radiesse® with saline and lidocaine, the calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres can be dispersed more evenly across larger surfaces. This approach shifts the focus from adding volume to enhancing overall skin quality, making it especially effective for softening crepiness and improving resilience in areas that often show early signs of aging.
Dilute & Hyperdilute Radiesse® Is Used to Treat:
- Crepey chest, neck, and hands
- Loss of firmness or elasticity
- Sun damage and photo-aging
- Fine lines and etched wrinkles
- Visible veins or thinning tissue on hands
- Rough or uneven skin texture
- Dullness and overall skin quality decline
How Dilute & Hyperdilute Radiesse® Works
Once introduced into the superficial and subdermal layers, the evenly distributed CaHA microspheres act as a scaffold that activates fibroblasts and stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin. As the gel carrier integrates and the biostimulatory cascade unfolds, skin begins to remodel itself from within—gaining tensile strength, elasticity, and improved light reflectance.
The outcome is tissue that not only looks firmer and smoother but also functions with greater resilience and durability, creating a natural, refined rejuvenation without bulk.
Choosing the Right Dilution Level
Radiesse® can be customized depending on the treatment area and desired outcome. By adjusting the dilution ratio, we balance immediate volumization with long-term skin regeneration:
Undiluted Radiesse® (1.5 cc Radiesse®)
Best for areas that require strong lift and definition, particularly the cheeks and jawline. In this form, it provides immediate contouring and structure while also stimulating new collagen formation. This approach is ideal when the goal is to restore youthful shape and enhance facial balance with long-lasting firmness.
Dilute Radiesse® (1.5 cc Radiesse® + 1.5 cc diluent)
Creates a smooth, even distribution with subtle volumizing effects and powerful regenerative benefits. Commonly used for the hands, temples, facial hollows, décolletage, upper arms, and knees, it restores fullness where needed while improving skin texture and elasticity. By enhancing collagen stimulation without creating heaviness, this dilution is a versatile choice for both correction and overall skin rejuvenation.
Hyperdilute Radiesse® (1.5 cc Radiesse® + >1.5 cc diluent)
Focused primarily on collagen regeneration and skin quality improvement with little to no volume replacement. It is typically used on the neck, chest, abdomen, thighs, and above the knees—areas prone to thinning, crepey skin, or sun damage. With its regenerative focus, this dilution strengthens elasticity, improves texture, and restores a firmer, more youthful appearance over time.
By tailoring the dilution, we’re able to adapt Radiesse® for each treatment area—whether the goal is lift, smoothing, or full rejuvenation.

FAQs
What is the difference between regular Radiesse® and dilute Radiesse®?
Traditional Radiesse® is used as a volumizing filler to restore focal volume and contour. Dilute or Hyperdilute Radiesse® is blended with saline and lidocaine, allowing it to spread more evenly and work primarily as a biostimulator. Instead of adding bulk, it stimulates collagen and elastin to improve skin quality, elasticity, and texture across larger treatment zones.
Why is Radiesse® the #1 choice for hand rejuvenation?
Hands are one of the first areas to reveal signs of aging, with thinning skin that makes veins, tendons, and bones more visible. Radiesse® is considered the gold standard injectable for hand rejuvenation because it does more than just replace lost volume—it also stimulates collagen production for long-lasting improvement in skin thickness, elasticity, and smoothness. The result is hands that look fuller, healthier, and more youthful, with results that can last a year or more.
Which areas can be treated with dilute or hyperdilute Radiesse®?
The most common areas include the chest, neck, and hands, but it may also be used in other delicate areas showing crepiness, fine lines, or laxity.
How many treatments will I need?
Most clients see optimal results with 1–3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Your provider will personalize the plan based on your skin quality, goals, and how much collagen support is needed.
Who is a good candidate for dilute Radiesse®?
It’s ideal for clients with crepey skin, sun damage, fine lines, or loss of elasticity in delicate areas such as the chest, neck, and hands. It’s especially popular for those looking to boost skin quality without adding bulk.
When will I see results?
While some clients notice an early improvement in texture and hydration within weeks, the true benefits build progressively as new collagen and elastin are formed. Most clients see the most noticeable changes between 8–12 weeks after treatment.
How long do results last?
Results typically last up to 12 months, and many clients notice continued improvement as collagen remodeling continues over time. Annual maintenance sessions are often recommended to sustain results.
Can Hypo/Hyperdilute Radiesse® be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Dilute Radiesse® is often part of a broader rejuvenation plan. We may sequence complementary treatments—such as BBL®, microneedling, or laser skin resurfacing—before or after your Radiesse® series to layer benefits safely and effectively. Not all services need to be done on the same day; your provider will design a personalized plan that ensures the best results while supporting your skin’s recovery at each stage.
Does dilute Radiesse® hurt?
The treatment is well-tolerated. Radiesse® is diluted with saline and lidocaine, which helps improve comfort during injection. Your provider may also use topical numbing or other comfort techniques if needed.
Is there downtime after treatment?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness for a few days. Bruising is possible but temporary. Most clients resume normal activities quickly after treatment.
Who should avoid this treatment?
Clients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have active skin infections at the treatment site, certain autoimmune or bleeding disorders, or have recently taken isotretinoin are generally not candidates. A consultation and full medical history review will determine suitability.
