Radiesse is safe under certain conditions

Ira D. Papel, MD answers: Is Radiesse dangerous?

A doctor recommended Radiesse for my smile lines. I've read somewhere that since it doesn't dissolve naturally, you can be left with big lumps and bumps after treatment. Is this true?

Radiesse is extremely safe when the following conditions are met:

  • It is prescribed by a properly qualified and trained doctor
  • It is injected in an appropriate medical setting by an experienced injector
