Itching after Radiesse

Both you and your sister-in-law should contact the physician that performed the procedure. The timing, location, and characteristics of your symptoms relate them to the injectable session. Itching and rash are indicative of allergy, which has available and effective treatments.

Itching after Radiesse

Although it is possible it is very uncommon to be allergic to Radiesse or Lidocaine. Nothing is impossible though and since you have itching and redness associated with your injection , you should contact your dermatologist immediately to evaluate these symptoms.

Itching after Radiesse injections

I have injected hundreds of patients with Radiesse over the past eight years and have never seen or heard of the symptoms you describe. I think it unlikely that Radiesse injections has caused your itching and that both you and your sister-in-law would happen to be allergic. I suggest you see a board certified dermatologist to be evaluated for the cause of your itching.

I too had an the injection above my upper lips. About a week later I got a large bump at the bottom of my top lip and in became infected. I got a rash on my arms stomach and back. In addition my ears started to ring very loud, my joints felt like I had arthritus and became so tired I could hardly function. The rash is gone, and the joint pain isn't as bad but must take a small dose of prednisone. It has been 6 months and every time I ween my self of the prednisone the ringing in my ears starts and get very dizzy and tired. I still have a lump in my lip.
