Hyperdilute Radiesse Cellulite Treatment in Chattanooga

Cellulite affects more than 90% of women—and many men—regardless of weight or activity level, leaving behind the rippled, dimpled skin that no diet or workout seems to banish. At Southern Surgical Arts' Chattanooga medspa, we specialize in non-surgical cellulite treatment in Chattanooga using Hyperdilute Radiesse™. This cutting-edge approach combines tiny doses of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres with saline to stimulate deep collagen remodeling under the skin, smoothing contours and improving texture in the buttocks, thighs, arms, and abdomen—often with little to no downtime. Schedule your private Chattanooga cellulite consultation today and discover how quickly Hyperdilute Radiesse can unlock firmer, more even skin.

What Radiesse Cellulite Treatment Addresses

Hyperdilute Radiesse™ offers a minimally invasive solution for moderate cellulite dimpling by harnessing the biostimulatory power of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA). Traditionally, full-strength Radiesse® fills deeper facial folds and restores volume, but when diluted—typically a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio of Radiesse gel to saline—the gel spreads beneath the skin's surface rather than directly volumizing.

Once injected into dimpled areas, the carrier fluid dissipates, leaving uniform microspheres that act as scaffolding for new collagen production. Over weeks to months, fibroblasts build fresh type­I collagen around each sphere, strengthening the connective tissue that tethers fat to skin and smoothing the appearance of cellulite across the buttocks, hips, and thighs.

About Hyperdilute Radiesse

Since 2004, calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) has been celebrated for its long-lasting volumizing and collagen-stimulating effects in facial rejuvenation. Hyperdilute Radiesse™ repurposes the same microspheres as a biostimulatory agent: when mixed with saline (and sometimes lidocaine), the gel disperses to cover larger surface areas, priming the dermis to rebuild its collagen matrix. This controlled inflammatory response gently thickens and tightens connective tissue over the course of three to six months, producing a firmer, more uniform skin appearance that addresses the root causes of cellulite rather than merely masking them.

What Is Calcium Hydroxylapatite?

Calcium hydroxylapatite is a biocompatible compound composed of calcium, phosphorus, oxygen, and hydrogen. It mirrors the mineral component of bone, making it well tolerated by the body.

In injectable form, PMMA microspheres of CaHA are suspended in a colloidal gel carrier. Upon implantation, the gel component provides initial smoothing, while microspheres remain to act as a scaffold that recruits fibroblasts.

These cells synthesize new collagen fibers around each bead, reinforcing tissue structure. Over time, the gel is absorbed and replaced by your own strengthened collagen network—delivering a semi-permanent enhancement.

“Camille is absolutely wonderful as always! Always does an amazing job and always so sweet and professional. A++++”

More About Cellulite

Cellulite forms when subcutaneous fat pushes through fibrous septae, creating the classic cottage cheese or orange peel appearance. Common areas include:

  • Buttocks: Dimpling near the upper posterior crease.
  • Thighs: Inner and outer thighs, often visible in shorts.
  • Abdomen: Lower belly puckering under the waistband.
  • Arms: Crepey, dimpled texture on the back of the triceps.
  • Knees and Elbows: Lax skin that waves or dimples with movement.

Moderately severe cellulite, characterized by visible lumps and depressions at rest, responds particularly well to the structural support created by Hyperdilute Radiesse.

What Are the Benefits of Hyperdilute Radiesse for Cellulite?

Hyperdilute Radiesse™ not only smooths surface dimples but also addresses underlying collagen deficits:

  • Stimulates robust collagen production for long-term structural improvement.
  • Provides immediate smoothing of moderate depressions upon gel implantation.
  • Treats multiple areas—buttocks, thighs, abdomen, arms, and knees—in a single session.
  • Minimizes downtime—return to daily life with only mild, short-lived swelling.
  • Delivers semi-permanent results lasting up to 18–24 months before top-ups.
  • Enhances skin quality by boosting dermal thickness and firmness.
  • Requires no surgery—achieve firmer contours without incisions or scars.
  • Customizable dilution ratios let us calibrate strength based on area and skin laxity.
  • Improves vascularity and circulation, which can further diminish cellulite over time.
  • Boosts self-confidence so you can wear shorts, skirts, or swimsuits with renewed ease.

Who Is the Ideal Candidate for Hyperdilute Radiesse in Chattanooga?

Men and women over 18 in good health who are bothered by moderate cellulite in the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, arms, or knees make excellent candidates. Best outcomes occur in those with stable body weight and realistic expectations about a two-month collagen-building timeline. Not recommended for pregnant or nursing individuals, those with bleeding disorders, or active skin infections at target sites. A thorough consultation in Chattanooga will confirm eligibility and personalize your treatment plan.

  • Avoid NSAIDs, aspirin, and fish oil one week prior to reduce bruising.

The Cellulite Treatment Procedure

After cleansing and numbing, your provider injects the Hyperdilute Radiesse solution in a systematic grid across dimpled zones using a fine-gauge needle or microcannula. Gentle massage ensures even distribution. Most sessions last 30–45 minutes. You'll then receive ice packs, after-care instructions, and a follow-up schedule to optimize collagen development.

Recovery & Results

Expect mild swelling and tenderness for one to two days. Avoid strenuous exercise and heat exposure (saunas, hot tubs) for 48 hours. Visible smoothing appears immediately; full collagen remodeling and firmness emerge over eight to twelve weeks. Maintenance sessions at six to twelve-month intervals preserve your smoother, firmer skin.

Corresponding & Complementary Procedures

For comprehensive body rejuvenation, consider pairing with:

  • Microneedling to refine surface texture.
  • BBL Photofacial for pigment and redness control.
  • Cellulaze® laser for severe cellulite tether release.
  • Cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting®) for fat reduction in adjacent areas.
