The first signs of skin aging often appear on the face in the form of volume loss and fine lines. Traditional anti-aging creams often fail to achieve the desired results. Radiesse®, an innovative filler, offers an effective method for visibly smoothing wrinkles and improving the appearance of age-related volume loss.
With its unique composition of calcium and phosphate ions, Radiesse® not only promotes the filling of wrinkles and sunken areas, but also stimulates the body’s own collagen production. This ensures a fresh and youthful complexion that is maintained over the long term.
At clinic utoquai in Zurich, you benefit from our many years of experience in the use of Radiesse®, combined with precise analysis and tailor-made treatment. The aim is to achieve a natural and harmonious appearance.
Radiesse® is a versatile filler that does more than just smooth wrinkles. The treatment rejuvenates the skin and restores volume to the face:
Type of treatment: Injection treatment
Treatment duration: approx. 15–30 minutes
Recovery time: none
Results: final results usually visible after 2 sessions
Duration of effect: up to 2 years
Side effects: temporary redness and swelling

During a personal consultation, we will determine your individual needs and decide whether Radiesse® is the right option for you. We will explain the procedure in detail and answer any questions you may have about the treatment.
You should refrain from taking blood-thinning medication for about 2 weeks before the treatment. However, please do not stop taking these medications without consulting your doctor. You should also avoid alcohol and nicotine consumption during this time.
The treatment is performed on an outpatient basis and takes approximately 15–30 minutes. Anesthesia is not usually necessary; if required, we can apply an anesthetic cream. First, the skin in the area of the injection site is thoroughly cleaned. We then inject the Radiesse® filler into the skin using a fine needle.
In most cases, our patients are able to resume their normal social activities immediately after treatment. There may be slight swelling or redness, which should subside after a few days at the latest.
After treatment, be careful not to put any pressure on the treatment area. You should refrain from visiting saunas and strenuous physical exercise for the next 2 weeks. It is important to apply sunscreen with a high sun protection factor during this time.
The cost of Radiesse® treatment depends on the treatment area and the individual wishes of the patient. Prices generally start at CHF 950. We will draw up a detailed cost plan for you during a comprehensive consultation.
