I am a mixed race male with olive skin tone and I have ice pick scarring from old acne on my forehead and cheek area. Would Radiesse and other fillers be effective in minimizing the appearance of these scars or would I have to consider subcission, laser, or some other technique?
There are whole books written on treating acne scars because there are so many treatments and none is perfect. For your type of scars, several treatments should be combined: lasers to blunt the edges and fillers to decrease the depth of the pits. Which filler depends on a variety of characteristics that can be assessed during a visit but Radiesse, Perlane, Restylane and Sculptra have all been used. Each has its advantages.
I would say that you will require a few different treatments for optimal outcomes.
Hello there.I have restylane in my cheeks, but it is starting to dimish. I had quite a lot put in, and its going to leave a saggy face!!!I would like to use radiesse but i don't want to wait until the restylane is all gone. Is it ok to inject radiesse into the cheek where restylane may still be. Very grateful for an answer
Sure, they are not incompatible. Both molecules are highly biocompatible and they should not have any issue mixing. It is not like an oil and water mixture or, for the skin version, silicone and another filler.
I frequently use both fillers in the same patient when I want something thicker for sculpting or lifting (Radiesse) and another product for line filling (Restylane). That is the beauty of using multiple products for different goals.
I know that some patients require more visits than others, but how does the doctor determine this?
There are a few things that go into the price of any injection. The first is the price of the product. Radiesse comes in three sizes: 0.3 ml/ 0.8 mL and 1.5 mL. Some injectors advertise cheap prices and use little syringes (the same holds true for Juvederm and Restylane). Most patients dont know to ask and instead trust the integrity of the person injecting and while this is usually OK, in some instances, there are those who market based on price rather than skill or reputation.
The next factor that goes into the price is the person injecting it. I charge more than others in my area because I spend a lot of time learning about how to do advanced products and dont just "spackle". Given a set of paints and a brush, different people will accomplish different things. The same holds for fillers.
