“Great Results, but It Doesn't Last...”
I'm in my late 30's and have done four rounds of Radiesse in the last year and a half. The results are spectacular: instant cheekbones, less pronounced marionette lines and an overall more youthful appearance. The only BIG drawback is that it only lasts three months!

“I Now Have a Monstrous Perma-blemish...”

I have read too much neg p.r. and was freaked out! Nothing is worse than expecting great results and walking out broke and disappointed!

*This is normally $600 per syringe, but my provider was having a special. Man, did this Hurt. I had my smile lines and nasial folds (sp?) done.
