How long does Radiesse last?

In my experience, Radiesse tends to last anywhere from 12-14 months in the cheek area. This is one of my favorite locations to inject Radiesse and provides a nice structural fullness to the cheeks. The manufacturer saw that the calcium hydroxylapetite particles will remain for about 12 months.

Radiesse For Cheek Augmentation

The duration of effects of any injectable fillers is based on how long it takes for its main component to resorb.

My experience in the cheeks is that it is anywhere from nine months to one year at best.

How long does radiesse Last

There are injectable fillers currently available which attempt to produce a long-lasting soft tissue augmentation by incorporating substances that are more slowly metabolized or that cannot be metabolized by the body. These are sometimes referred to as 'semi-permanent' fillers. Some incorporate non-degradable biologic materials (e.g. Radiesse®, which contains calcium hydroxyapatite, the mineral component of bone) or non-biologic (synthetic) materials (e.g. ArteFill®, which... more
