How Effective is Radiesse on Smile Lines?

Hello. At 38, I've had Juvederm once and really liked the results on smile lines. I did bruise, but it went away after three days.

I would love to get a doctor's thoughts on Radiesse for this area. I understand it costs a bit more but lasts much longer. Thanks so much for your time.

Radiesse for smile lines

Radiesse and Juvederm are both great fillers for the nasolabial fold smile lines. Both can give smooth, natural-appearing results when injected with good technique and at the appropriate depth (Radiesse often is injected deeper than Juvederm).

Both are excellent products. Good luck.... more
