Laser resurfacing after Radiesse

The thermal energy from a laser is directed at a level that is closer to the surface than fillers are placed.

FX and Radiesse

It should be safe if the Radiesse was placed in the subcutaneous tissue and not the skin since the laser will be working in a more superficial plane. I hope that helps!

Active FX after Radiesse Treatment

Excellent question.  The Active FX laser will not adversely effect the Radiesse treatments to your cheeks and nasolabial folds. Proceed with the treatment and best of luck.  Warmest Regards, Glenn Vallecillos, MD, FACS
