I just had Radiesse and I want the results to last. I've read so many comments about this product disappearing after a few weeks and even days! How can I make this product last? Is there a reason why it reabsorbs faster on some people and not others? Do you really need to be reinjected after a few weeks like I have read from some of these writers? Thanks!

Radiesse duration is variable

You may be one of the fortunate individuals in whom Radiesse is metabolized slowly. Some people are slow metabolizers, others are fast metabolizers and unfortunately there is not much we can do about that. We know that Radiesse and other temporary fillers last longer in areas of less facial movement. It would be unreasonable though to recommend that you stop smiling. I would, however, avoid over-manipulation of the treated areas, as this may produce inflammation which could cause the... more

Making Radiesse Last Longer

There really is no way to make your Radiesse injections last longer, but the good news is that, in my experience, you shouldn't worry about it disappearing in days or weeks. As with any filler, the duration of result is somewhat variable in each person, but Radiesse generally lasts for at least 9-12 months.

Can you make Radiesse last longer?

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any method to make a filler last longer. Each individual will have a resorption rate that is different. There is no way to predict this. Find a practitioner you trust and go by their recommendations.

Radiesse is an effective dermal filler with good longevity

Radiesse is a powerful dermal filler that is comprised of the ground substance of bone. For this reason, Radiesse has excellent longevity. Your body will react to Radiesse slowly but eventually the results will wear off. This may occur after 15 to 18 months. There is no exercise or medication that you can take to prolong these results

Radiesse Duration

Radiesse does not disappear in a few days or weeks. Sometimes what happens is this: the carrier in which the Radiesse is dissolved will disappear within a few weeks. Therefore, the initial benefits may disappear within several weeks to a month. However, at that point the Radiesse will have begun to stimulate collagen and months after treatment you may look better than you did just one month after treatment.
