There is no question that Radiesse is very effective and that it lasts for a long time. The typical result will last from 9-18 months with the average being roughly 1 year. The major cause for dissatisfaction with fillers in the hands of an experienced injector is lack of volume. In other words, some patients will require 2-3 syringes in order to correct deep nasolabial folds. If the problem is not appropriately addressed to begin with, the result will not be perceived to have lasted as long as it should.
Radiesse is a synthetically derived form of calcium hydroxylapatite, a substance found within bone. It initially provides for volume correction and then encourages collagen deposition within its framework, leading to a long lasting effect. I have used it as the filler of choice for nasolabial folds for 6 years with a very high satisfaction rate
