Merz Aesthetics® brought Tatler to Bangkok, Thailand, to join Radiesse in introducing its first Asia Pacific ambassador, Mun Ka-young. Here’s a recap of what happened at the event
Members of the press indulged in a sumptuous lunch, mingled with esteemed beauty industry experts, and relaxed at the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel in Bangkok—all these in preparation for the launch of Me, My Skin On The Reset campaign by Radiesse.
There were several activities lined up on the day of the event, but the main highlight was our interview with Mun Ka-young.
Off the bat, the actress gushed about her new-found love for mango sticky rice, having already had two helpings since setting foot in Thailand.

From where we were seated, we could see how radiant she looked, likely thanks to Radiesse—a biostimulator that regenerates five key components of the skin:
- Collagen Type I and III: Improves skin structure, elasticity, and thickness.
- Elastin: Restores elasticity for more volume.
- Proteoglycans: A key component of your skin's extracellular matrix; provides nourishment and glow.
- Angiogenesis: Growth of new blood vessels, which sustains the long-term health of your new skin tissues.
Because of its stimulating powers, Radiesse is considered to be the pioneer of regenerative skin treatments. It uses calcium-based microspheres (CaHA) to awaken the skin’s natural healing abilities. Dr Niamh Corduff of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons likens the process to hitting the reset button of the skin to make it stronger and more youthful.
Backed by over 20 years of scientific and clinical research and more than 220 peer-reviewed publications, Radiesse is the first and only treatment proven to support regeneration. This makes it a great antidote for wrinkles, folds, and all other signs of ageing.

The Radiesse collection includes two products: Radiesse and Radiesse+. Radiesse is recommended for use on greater areas of the skin for effective skin rejuvenation and correction of wrinkles and folds.
Radiesse+, on the other hand, is recommended to sharpen contours and define vocal areas of the face and jawline for vertical lifting and contouring of the face and jawline.

Mun considered many factors before joining the campaign, but what piqued her interest was its message.
“Radiesse does more than just enhance the surface of your skin—it helps you discover your true self. The message really resonated with me, which is why I decided to be part of this campaign. I appreciate simple, effective, and efficient skincare routines,” Mun shared.
The actress revealed that she has been dedicated to tailoring her skincare routine to her skin's specific needs.
“I pay close attention to my skin’s environment and its needs. What I find most important is maintaining skin health and consistently giving it the care it requires,” she told the press.

She shared that one of the best ways to take care of the skin is to de-stress. “Sometimes, I close my eyes and do a massage using something warm on and around it. I also found that putting my feet in a warm tub helped me to de-stress,” she said.
“Apart from that, I love wearing fragrant perfumes, which helps me manage stress. Finding personal ways to relieve stress is crucial, as it’s closely linked to confidence, and that has been very beneficial for me,” she further explained.
For Mun, embracing the natural process of ageing with the help of Radiesse is key to maintaining overall well-being and personal growth.
“I believe that ageing is natural and is something that everyone has to go through, so something I try to focus on is to manage the well-being of the overall self and I try to groom myself so I can be a great adult–it’s a goal that I have at the moment
“I am honoured to be part of the Merz Aesthetics family, a company who owns a brand that embodies confidence and well-being. To me, Radiesse represents a journey of self-renewal that begins with the skin and extends to every facet of life.”
