Radiesse® Biostimulator Masterclass (1 Day)

This one-day advanced Radiesse® course is designed for experienced medical aesthetics practitioners who want to expand their treatment portfolio with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) biostimulation. You will learn the science behind Radiesse®, including its dual action of providing immediate structural support while stimulating collagen production over time, and how to adapt product selection, injection depth, dilution and technique to different treatment areas and clinical goals.

You will cover treatment of the face, neck, décolletage and hands using neat, diluted and hyperdiluted Radiesse®, alongside patient assessment, treatment planning, anatomy, contraindications, safe injection planes, cannula and needle techniques, hybridisation, treatment protocols and complication management.
Live-model practical training gives you the opportunity to apply these techniques under expert supervision and build confidence incorporating Radiesse® into clinical practice. You will also receive Derma Institute training materials and continued access to clinical support after the course.
The Radiesse® Biostimulator Masterclass is included within our Complete Practitioner Certification, while practitioners wanting to develop their biostimulator skills further can also progress to our Sculptra & Biostimulators Masterclass.

"I really enjoyed the foundation Botox and filler training course by Derma institute. The team members were very professional and informative. Dr Ziad’s teaching technique is excellent, leaving delegates very confident to start treating the following day. We were trained in small groups, and there was plenty of hands-on experience which allowed us to practice different techniques on live models."

Frequently Asked Questions

This advanced masterclass is designed for medical aesthetics practitioners who have already completed foundation injectable training and want to add Radiesse® to their clinical offering. Delegates should have existing injectable experience and some competence using a cannula before attending. The course builds on those skills through advanced patient assessment, treatment planning and supervised practical training. It is particularly suited to practitioners interested in broadening their approach beyond traditional hyaluronic acid fillers to include calcium hydroxylapatite biostimulation and structural treatment.

Radiesse® contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended within a gel carrier. It can provide an immediate structural effect while the CaHA microspheres support longer-term biostimulatory activity within the tissue. This means practitioners can use Radiesse® differently according to the clinical objective, from structural support to treatments focused more heavily on skin quality and biostimulation. The course explores these differences and helps you understand when Radiesse® may be considered as part of a wider aesthetic treatment plan. Merz also describes Radiesse® as a CaHA biostimulator in its current UK professional information.

Training covers Radiesse® approaches across the face, décolletage and hands, alongside discussion of advanced treatment planning for different anatomical areas. Facial techniques include areas such as the cheeks, chin, jawline and lower face, with treatment adapted according to anatomy, skin quality and the desired clinical outcome. The course also explores protocols for skin quality and biostimulation, including dilution and hyperdilution techniques. Current UK Merz information includes facial soft-tissue augmentation, the dorsum of the hands and diluted Radiesse® for décolleté wrinkles.

Yes. A key part of the masterclass is understanding how Radiesse® can be adapted according to the patient, treatment area and clinical goal. You will explore neat, diluted and hyperdiluted approaches, including how dilution changes the balance between structural effect and biostimulation. Training covers appropriate product preparation, treatment planning, injection depth and technique so you understand not simply how to perform a protocol, but how to select an appropriate approach for an individual patient.

Yes. Hands-on practical training with live cosmetic models is a central part of the masterclass. You will apply patient assessment, treatment planning and Radiesse® injection techniques under direct trainer supervision, with practical exposure to treatment approaches across the face, décolletage and hands where suitable models allow. Trainers provide feedback throughout the session to help you refine product placement, injection technique and clinical decision-making before introducing Radiesse® into your own practice.

Radiesse® is designed to provide an initial treatment effect alongside longer-term biostimulation, but the duration of results varies between patients, treatment areas and techniques. Your course materials explore how the carrier gel is gradually absorbed while calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres support new collagen formation. Published Radiesse® information also shows that longevity differs by indication, so practitioners should avoid giving every patient a single fixed duration and instead set expectations according to the treatment being performed.

As with all injectable aesthetic treatments, Radiesse® requires appropriate patient selection, anatomical knowledge and careful technique. The course covers expected reactions such as bruising, swelling, redness and tenderness, as well as less common and serious complications including nodules, infection, vascular compromise and allergic reactions. You will focus on prevention, early recognition, appropriate clinical response and post-treatment monitoring, helping you make safer treatment decisions in practice. Current manufacturer information also warns that inadvertent intravascular injection can cause serious complications.

Your training does not end when the practical day finishes. Delegates receive access to Derma Institute course materials and treatment guidance to refer back to as they begin offering Radiesse® in practice. You will also have ongoing access to experienced trainers for post-course questions and clinical support. This is designed to help you consolidate what you learned during the masterclass, approach your first independent cases carefully and continue developing confidence with patient assessment, treatment planning and Radiesse® techniques.
