Collagen BioStimulator
RADIESSE®
Works with your body, activating skin’s regenerative power to boost collagen, elastin, and other key proteins.
A calcium hydroxylapatite biostimulator with a dual action: the gel carrier gives immediate structure, while CaHA microspheres stimulate your fibroblasts to produce new Type I collagen and elastin. The only injectable at ALBA that does both.

BENEFITS
Why choose RADIESSE?
01
You see some results on the same day
Most biostimulators ask you to wait months before anything happens. Radiesse doesn't. The gel carrier gives a genuine lift/contour you can see in the mirror before you leave, and the collagen work happens underneath it over the following weeks.

TREATMENT COMPARISON
JULÄINE™ vs Sculptra®: what's the difference?
Both are PLLA-based collagen biostimulators, but the technology and clinical profile differ significantly. Understanding the difference helps you and your practitioner make the right choice for your skin.
ATTRIBUTE | JULÄINE™ OF SWEDEN | SCULPTRA® | DERMAL FILLERS |
|---|---|---|---|
Technology | LaSynPro™ uniform PLLA microspheres | Older generation PLLA microparticles | Hyaluronic acid gel |
How it works | Stimulates Type I collagen via low-inflammatory pathway | Stimulates collagen via inflammatory response | Physical volume addition via gel |
Nodule / granuloma risk | Significantly reduced due to uniform microsphere design | Present — requires careful technique | Low — different risk profile |
Results timeline | Visible at 2–3 months, continue to 6 months | Visible at 3–6 months | Immediate |
Duration | 18–24 months | Up to 2 years | 6–18 months |
What it produces | Your own Type I collagen | Your own collagen (mixed types) | No new collagen — temporary volume |
Best suited for | Patients wanting natural structure, low risk profile, longest lasting results | Patients wanting proven long-term collagen stimulation | Patients wanting immediate, targeted volume |
Individual results vary. At ALBA, we discuss all available treatment options at consultation and recommend based on your individual anatomy, history and goals — never a one-size-fits-all approach.
WHERE IT WORKS
JULÄINE™ treatment areas
JULÄINE™ is suitable for both men and women across a broad age range, working beautifully on both early and more advanced signs of collagen loss. The following areas respond particularly well to LaSynPro™ biostimulation.
CANDIDACY
Is JULÄINE Right for You?
Treatment cost depends on the number of vials required, which is determined by your individual anatomy, the areas being treated and the degree of collagen loss. This is always confirmed at consultation, never estimated without a full assessment.
FIRST SIGNS OF COLLAGEN LOSS
VOLUME RESTORATION 50S+
LONG-TERM THINKING
COLLAGEN BANKING 30S–40S
NATURAL RESULTS PRIORITY
PREVIOUS FILLER FATIGUE

YOUR JOURNEY
What to expect at ALBA
Every JULÄINE™ treatment at ALBA begins with a comprehensive consultation. We assess your skin, discuss your anatomy and goals, and build a personalised treatment plan — no two plans are the same.
1
Consultation
Comprehensive skin and medical assessment with your doctor. We discuss your goals, review your medical history, and determine whether JULÄINE™ is the right treatment for you. The £50 consultation fee is redeemable against treatment.
2
Treatment
JULÄINE™ is administered via precise injections into targeted areas. Sessions typically take 30–45 minutes. Most patients require 2–3 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, for optimal collagen stimulation.
3
Collagen Builds
In the weeks following each session, lactic acid released from the degrading PLLA microspheres signals your fibroblasts to produce new Type I collagen. Visible improvement typically begins around 2–3 months.
4
Long-Term Results
Results continue to develop for up to 6 months post-treatment and can last 18–24 months. We schedule a review at 6 months to assess your response and advise on any maintenance.
