What Hyperdilute Radiesse Cellulite Treatment Addresses

Hyperdilute Radiesse™ transforms the CaHA filler traditionally used for facial volume into a biostimulatory solution for cellulite. By diluting Radiesse with saline (commonly a 1:2 or greater ratio), we create a fluid suspension that disperses beneath the skin's surface rather than building bulk.

Injected into the dermal layer beneath each dimple, the carrier fluid fades, leaving uniformly spaced PMMA microspheres that act as a scaffold. Over the next 6–12 weeks, fibroblasts deposit new type-I collagen around each sphere, strengthening the septae that tether fat to skin and lifting depressed areas. The result is a visibly smoother, firmer appearance on the buttocks, hips, thighs, or abdomen—areas that resist diet and exercise alone.

About Hyperdilute Radiesse

Since its FDA approval for facial enhancement, Radiesse's calcium hydroxylapatite formulation has proven robust for long-lasting volume and collagen stimulation. Hyperdilute Radiesse repurposes CaHA by suspending microspheres in saline to target larger surface areas. The carrier gel provides immediate smoothing, while the CaHA beads remain in situ to incite a localized, controlled inflammatory response. Fibroblasts then weave new collagen fibers around each bead, bolstering tissue strength and resilience. This dual-action mechanism delivers initial cosmetic improvement and durable structural enhancement that outlasts many other fillers.

More About Cellulite

Cellulite forms when subcutaneous fat protrudes through fibrous septae, creating tension points that manifest as dimples or waves on the skin surface.

While nearly universal among postpubertal women, men may also experience cellulite, especially with age-related collagen decline. 

It can appear on:

  • Buttocks (most common)
  • Outer and inner thighs
  • Lower abdomen just above the pubic line

Hyperdilute Radiesse addresses the structural components—septae and dermal thinning—rather than fat volume alone.

What Is Calcium Hydroxylapatite?

Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) is a biocompatible mineral compound—similar to the aquifer of bone—that has been used safely in orthopedic and dental applications. In cosmetic injectables, uniform CaHA microspheres (30–40 microns) are suspended in a carrier gel.

Upon injection, the gel imparts immediate contour support. Over the next few months, the body's natural collagen wraps these microspheres in a supportive scaffold, creating a thicker, more elastic dermis that resists the tension from underlying fat lobules.

Benefits of Hyperdilute Radiesse for Cellulite

Consider these advantages when choosing cellulite treatment in Blue Ridge:

  • Stimulated collagen production for long-term dermal reinforcement
  • Immediate smoothing effect from gel carrier, visible same day
  • Treats multiple zones (buttocks, thighs, abdomen, arms, knees) in one visit
  • Minimally invasive approach without incisions or general anesthesia
  • Rapid return to activities—most resume light exercise the next day
  • Semi-permanent results lasting up to 18–24 months before revisit
  • Custom dilution strength for your tolerance and skin laxity
  • Combines well with lasers or microneedling for layered rejuvenation
  • Cost-effective alternative to surgical subcision or radiofrequency devices
