Kenalog and Vitrase to minimize the Radiesse. Is this effective?

I have seen Radiesse last about a year on average, but may last longer with multiple injections. To my knowledge, radiesse is not dissolved by vitrase or kenalog.   Radiesse is calcium hydroxylappetite (CAH). It is not a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler (e.g. juvederm, restylane, etc).  Vitrase dissolves HA fillers, not CAH....  Thus, vitrase does not dissolve Radiesse.  Kenalog is a steroid. Steroids reduce the immune response and are not reported to directly dissolve CAH. 

In my opinion, the visual effect from Radiesse is usually gone by a year.  If multiple treatments are done, the effect can last a bit longer.  I have not found Kenalog or Vitrase to be effective in dissolving Radiesse faster.  

Radiesse is not a hyaluronic acid product and will not dissolve with hyaluronidase (Vitrase trade name). It is best to wait the 8-14 months for it to be metabolized.BestDr. Karamanoukian#RealSelf100 Member
