Age is not an issue

What it depends on is where the wrinkles are, what you want to accomplish, and what your anatomy is. So get an evaluation and see first hand what your options are. sek

You are not too old.

Hi! People of different ages can get great results with fillers like Radiesse.

If you are concerned about collagen deposition, you can have Juvederm injections, which don't rely on collagen deposition.

No Age Restriction

Radiesse is a great dermal filler. I tend to think it is much better in those with thinner skin, such as older patients, because it is injected close to the bone. As opposed to hyaluronic fillers which are injected much more superficially. There's no age restriction on any of the fillers.

No age restriction

There is no age restriction for Radiesse injections. Actually the older the patient the more the soft tissue deficiency. However I really like Sculptra when a large volume is needed.
