What is the Success Rate of Radiesse for Eye Hollows? Which one brings more results for eye hollows; Radiesse or Juvederm?

A: Best Filler for Eye Hollows

We do not use Radiesse in the unforgiving area of the tear troughs or hollows. Regardless of skilled technique, there are other issues already stated for why this is not a good product for this treatment area.

We prefer Restylane over Juvederm at there is less chance of Tyndall effect and migration.

Be certain to ask to see before/after photos when choosing your practitioner.

How Many Radiesse Treatments Are Usually Needed for Acne? If there are side effects, how long do they last after radiesse treatments?

A: Radiesse and Acne Scars

As the panel members stated - Radiesse is a cosmetic dermal filler that does not treat the condition of acne. If you were referring to acne scars - Radiesse is not the best option being that the product is placed in a deeper plane or level.

For texture improvement of acne scarring, laser and/or smooth gel fillers (ex: Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane) are good options to improve the landscape or topography of the skin.

The below website profiles these options with before/after photos and numerous blog articles.

How Long Will Radiesse in my Chin Get Dissolved to Make It Look Natural with my Face? Do I need to undergo a different kind of procedure or take any medication to make it dissolve faster?

A: Radiesse in the chin - how long will it last

As the panel members indicated, Radiesse is known for a lengthy duration of outcomes. Depending on how much product was placed in such a small area will also affect duration.

Radiesse does not have a remedy in the way that the smooth gels dissolve with hyaluronidase. It may offer some encouragement to have feedback from an injector that can offer future options or methods to minimize the negative appearance that you are referring to by camouflage.

The suggestion of using "distilled water combined with vibration" is not something we would recommend. Nothing but sterile products should ever be injected into the body.

74% of Torrance reviewers said Radiesse was worth it

	“Radiesse - Downey, CA” Used topical arnica, cold pacs, and oral arnica. Had slight bruising immediately following the procedure with swelling diminishing to redness after a day. Although I had half a dose, it was enough to make a difference. more
	“Relieved after swelling went down -...” I am 44 years old. i wanted to restore some volume loss in my cheeks and lower part of my face. i recieved 1 vial of radiesse 4 weeks ago in my cheeks.i was immediately pleased with the results. my injector wanted to wait 4 weeks for the product to settle before touching up my cheeks and filling the bottom half of my face. yesterday i received one more vial in my cheeks and 1 vial in the... more
	“So Happy with the Results! -...” I had Radiesse injected into my cheekbones and my cheek folds, and I am so happy with the results. I did not experience any pain whatsoever! I was so nervous and thought it was going to really hurt, and it didn't. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd say the pain was a 1. The doctor was very careful and did a great job! I will definetely do this again. more
	“Lovin' It! - Lomita, CA” It has taken 5-10 years off my sagging face. I had it done 4 days ago with one tiny bruise. It's almost gone and the results were instant. I am very happy and recommend it to everyone. I am 45 and have been very unhappy with the saggy looking smile. I feel so much better and have been holding my head up high. Go for it! more
	“The Best There is - Beverly Hills, CA” My friend goes to Dr K and recommended him, and he is well worth the money spent. more
	“The Good and Bad of my Radiesse...” I've had three rounds of Radiesse in the last two years and I can say that the first two were great and I had a really nice result. Not much pain and very little bruising. I went to a new place where they consistently have much much lower prices on all their fillers but this time I was way overinjected and now I look like the Joker from Batman. She overinjected me at the top of my... more
	“Radiesse Lasts. I Prefer It over...” I used to use collagen in my naso-labial folds, then Juvederm. I love Radiesse, it lasted so long I forgot, until I looked in the mirror the other day. Lasted almost 2 years! I used to have to go get collagen every 4 months, it was annoying. more
	“Radiesse in Nasolabial Folds and...” I had radiesse injected into my nasolabial lines and cheeks. before the injection, my doctor injected me with plenty of lidocaine from inside of mouth, so there was no pain at all. even after the numbness is gone, I don't feel any pain at all.most importantly I really love the result :D my nasolabial line more
	“Softened Laugh Lines” I had radiesse in the nasolabial folds to soften my laugh lines. I was swollen with chipmunk cheeks for about a week, but the radiesse really did the trick.I am only 39 and I didn't have severe jowls or anything... just annoying laugh lines that I wanted to make less noticeable before my high school reunion. The injections hurt substantially but once thos more
	“Black-eye from Radiesse Injection” Had Radiesse injected under my eyes in mid Sept 2009. I looked very tired and had a lot of fat loss in this region due to extreme weight loss from gastric bypass. I love the outcome from the dermal fillers except for the black-eye. The pain from the injectin under my left eye was far worse than my right. Immediately thereafter, I had a black-eye under my left eye. Dermatologist advised I... more
	“Asymmetrical Lumps After Radience in...” I had lost some volume in my lips and wanted to bring them back to thier youthful fullness.It has been 5 years and I still have lumps. Radiance from what I was informed would go away by now so not sure what it is inside.Is there a facial plastic surgeon in the Los Angeles area that has had any experience and success in removing Radiance? I had my lips injected in 2004, now have asymmetrical lumps. more
	“Radiesse Really is Worth It...” I had Radiesse in my labio folds, and to fill one of my cheekbones that was not as large as the other (subtle).I love the results, and will be going back for more. My doctor put a kind of painkiller into the viles (2) so it didn't hurt very much at all. I had it done 4 months aso and it still looks great. more
	“Radiesse Reaction” I will never do it again ,my doctor told me you will look great immediately .I did it because my husband & i are drifting apart and wanted to look better since i think the problem is me not my husband.i had radiesse injected around the nose and chin today ,i 'm swollen in one side arourn the upper lip,my 4 year old told me i look like a monster , will the swellimg go away? more
	“Radiesse, Not Sure About It Yet” I just turned 51 and thought finally to do something about my lines. I went for many consultations and done none, too much of a chicken. A friend of my referred me to her DR. D.O. for Botox. I just went Friday and was talked into using 2 syringes of Radiesse. It suppose to last 1 year. I had my smile lines done and the droopiness on the sides of my mouth. The procedure was extremely painful.... more
	“WOW! This Stuff Works.” I went in to have a few acne scars filled after having done 6 Fraxels over the last 2 years. I was very happy with my results from the fraxel but still had a couple of deep acne scars that Fraxel alone would not fix. When I talked to the Dr., he also recommended I have some Radiesse to help with my under eye troughs. I am 40 and never had cheek bones and so my under eyes and cheeks were... more
	“Cheek Bones At Last...” I wanted cheekbones. I have a thin face and thin skin. I'm 47 and never had good bones really. The Radiesse has given me the most natural cheek bones. It looks like I've had implants. It's lifted my whole face. I could not be more pleased. I tried Perlane before but the results were no-where as good as Radiesse. I had some swelling which went overnight and minimal brusing and not a lump... more
	“So Far, So Good” I got Radiesse for nasolabial fold and for the deep hollow area my eyes. The nasolabial folds took one treatment. At first, I could feel hard ridges from my nose to the corner of my mouth and it looked like I had had something injected. The bruising and swelling lasted for about three weeks but those lines are completely gone and the filler has softened so I can't feel it under my skin. The... more
	“Non-surgical Nose Job with Radiesse” I thought this would be a painful experience, but it was not quite what the doctor warned me. The results right after the procedure was spectacular. I'm glad I went through with it. Now my nose look more define and it looked like I went under the knife. I'am so happy with my nose more
	“Mixed Results” The first time I received Radiesse for naslabial folds, it wasn't bad. It did look a bit strange when I smiled, and I could see the material, however it did fill out the folds somewhat. The results lasted about 6 months. I had a second treatment done 8 months later, the doctor saying that he was using a slightly different technique so I wouldn't see the solid line of material. Right afterwards... more
	“Waste if $$$$$” Looked good for a short period of time,after 3 months couldn't even tell anything was done, very disappointed with the results, had a touch-up with another product forgot name didn't last either. after several visits I had a touch-up the dr gave me a discount still didn't take. by the way restylane wasn't any better. more
	“Not What Its Cracked Up to Be” I had Radiesse injected eight months ago and I am VERY DISAPPOINTED with the results. I still have the very wrinkles around my mouth and naso-labial folds. I feel this product does not live up to its promises and am now looking at lasers for correction. The doctor'f office I had the treatment at said this was the best treatment for me and that I should see results six months but I have seen... more
	“LOVE IT!” I had a National trainer (she trains plastic surgeons) do the injections. Step one she numbed me with injections--very smooth only felt a little pinch. Then she started injecting me with Radiesse on nasal folds and also on upper cheeks. I initially went in for just nasal fold but she noticed that one side of my face was uneven (this is due to previous bad plastic surgery a mid face... more
	“Loved the Intial Results but They...” I've always had a thin face and now in my early 50s my cheeks were looking very sunken in which emphasized the marionette lines. In the consultation, my clinician highly recommended Radiesse over Restylane, mainly because it would last longer; he said approximately 18 months. I required 3 syringes which was more than we both expected. Although it was expensive for me, I was very pleased,... more
