Does Radiesse work on the nasolabial folds and Marrionette lines?

Yes, Radiesse does work well for the nasolabial folds and marrionette lines and I often use it in these areas however, in patients with thinner skin, the Radiesse is more visible, with smiling, than the somewhat thinner Perlane and for that reason, I prefer Perlane in these areas.

Radiesse - Nasolabial folds

Radiesse can work well for nasolabial folds and marionette lines. However, an experienced injector will utilize the injection that is most likely to produce the best possible natural looking result. Lumpiness is possible with Radiesse even in the hands of a skilled injector. Therefore, depending on the look desired and the patient's anatomy, a thinner filler like Restylane or Juvederm may be used in conjunction with Radiesse, or in place of it.

Radiesse is great for nasolabial folds

I think that Radiesse is great for the nasolabial folds. It will give a long term correction of about 12-18 months. A couple things that are particular to Radiesse is that it: Swells more than the other fillers, but this goes away after a couple days Causes slightly more bruising because you have to use a large needle to inject it I do add lidocaine to the syringe, so it is a fairly comfortable injection. I love Radiesse for the marionette lines. It seems to have more structural... more

Radiesse for nasal labial folds

Radiesse is a great option for those areas. Radiesse is made of microscopic calcium particles and a gel, this allows for a long term correction of about 12 to 18 months.

Is Radiesse good for nasolabilal folds.

Radiesse is the ideal filler for the nasolabial folds and lasts the longest. It needs to be place deeper than the HA filers.

Radiesse and Smile Lines

Radiesse is an excellent choice for the nasolabial lines, sometimes referred to as smile lines.  The key here is placement of the product , which if placed in the same manner as Restylane is guaranteed to leave lumpiness.  However, if the product is placed in the right depth, a natural improvement can be seen.

Radiesse is Excellent for the Nasolabial Folds

Radiesse is probably one of the best choices in the nasolabial folds due to its consistent results, longevity (9-18 months), and good safety profile. In fact, Radiesse is my filler of choice for this region.

Radiesse to Nasolabial folds & Marionette lines

Radiesse to the nasolabial, marionette line and even adding volume to cheeks is a great option. I would never suggest useing Radiesse in the lips.Radiesse is a dermal filler that contains tiny Calcuim Hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in aqueous gel carrier. When its injected it stimulates the body to produce its own natural collagen.

Radiesse for parentheses / nasolabial folds

Radiesse is an excellent solution for rejuvenating the face and blunting the nasolabial lines. When use in conjunction with a small cheek augmentation, the effect is dramatic and youthful. As with any filler, experience is a must to prevent unnecessary complications. The other advantage of Radiesse is that it can last anywhere from 12-18 months, which is significantly longer than Juvederm or Restylane.

Radiesse for your nasolabial folds

For deeper more severe lines or folds and to build up the cheekbones, or plump up the hands Radiesse is recommended. Radiesse is a natural cosmetic tissue filler, FDA approved to safely correct moderate to severe facial folds and wrinkles, including nasolabial folds (smile lines from the nose to the mouth). Radiesse also stimulates collagen growth to provide longer lasting results. Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxyl-apatite, calcium-based microspheres suspended in gel. When Radiesse... more

Radiesse is an excellent choice for treating the nasolabial folds and cheeks

Of the many treatment we now offer our patients that do not require surgery and significant "down time", we find Radiesse to be one of the best, if used appropriately. It is an excellent filler for the lines between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds) and under the corners of the mouth (marionette lines), as well as in the cheek (malar area). When given with local anesthesia it is not very painful, and should last six months or more.

Radiesse not good for nasolabial folds.

Hi. 1)  We only use Radiesse deeply, in the cheekbone and chin areas. 2)  For nasolabial folds and marionette lines, we use Juvederm or Restylane, depending on the anatomy.

Uses of Radiesse

I have used Radiesse with excellent and long lasting results in the nasolabial fold, cheek bones, and jawline. I have also used it for nose augmentations with natural nice results. I feel that Radiesse is a great deep filler and so should not be used for the lips (higher risk of nodules than hyaluronic acid), and very carefully around the mouth.

Radiesse injections

Radiesse is an amazing filler for nasolabial folds. Be sure you go to someone who has a lot of experience with it, you can get wonderful results with this filler when injected properly. I do a lot of Radiesse in my office, and patients prefer it over other fillers for certain areas because of how long it lasts. Depending on the depth of the wrinkles or lines, this is not always the best choice because of how thick it is, which is the reason you want to go to someone with experience. more
