  • Compared with Restylane, Perlane or Juvederm, Radiesse is a more long lived filler. This can be either good or bad, depending on your satisfaction with the product and how it looks.
  • Radiesse is an opaque product whereas Juvederm and Restylane are clear so it is possible to get white bumps with Radiesse.
  • If you get bumps from Juvederm or Restylane or Perlane they will be clear.
  • In addition, since Juvederm and Restylane and Perlane are all hyaluronic acids (Radiesse is made from calcium hydroxylapatite- a bioceramic material), they may be digested and dissolved by injecting something called hyaluronidase.
  • The important part is that they are all safe and effective but Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm are clear and reversible.
