Anyone that had no or minimal side effects?

By melana on 15 May 2011

How many of you had no side affects after the treatment? Or just minimal? My Dr. said I can return to work right after the treatment, and no one would notice what I did on my lunch break. I am getting my nasolabial folds treated, and only need very little radiesse. What was your experience right after the injections? Thank you.

I've had many Radiesse treatments. It's important to understand that your facial features are being altered by a foreign product by human hands.

There's a probability that you will experience minimal swelling that may or may not be noticeable, on the other hand - there may be immediate side effects that take a bit of time to subside.

Even assuming that you have the best possible injector; do understand that there are possible side effects that take time to subside.

I respond to the product well - and I have a great injector. If I experience redness or bruising, I'm prepared to wear coverup while out in public.

After all, a needle is being inserted into my face with a foreign substance injected into my body. The possibility for consequence doesn't concern me - and I'm comfortable compensating for side effects.

The reality of a possible consequence, is there - thankfully, the results have always been outstanding.

I had Radiesse for marionette lines as Perlany no longer did the job. I wasn't told about bruising and went to lunch with some high school friends I hadn't seen in years. Went to the restroom and was surprised to see really ugly bruising on both sides of my face! Had to get some really heavy duty cover-up that only worked fair at best! The bruising lasted almost a week. And two weeks later, I see no diffeence!!
