What Are the Best Areas to Have Radiesse?

Asked 36 months ago by joyceline in Manila

What the the best areas for Radiesse injections?

I use Radiesse to shape the cheeks, chin and jaw line. It does work well in the nasolabila folds however due to its thick nature it sometimes can be seen when patients smile and for that reason, I prefer Perlane in the nasolabial folds.

Radiesse best used on nasolabial folds, jaw line and chin

Best indications for Radiesse are in the nasolabial folds, jaw line and chin. Radiesse is calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres that last approximately 12 - 18 months. Radiesse can cause lumpiness in the lips and should be avoided. Radiesse has few side effects - lumping, bruising and swelling.

Deep Tissue Sites

Radiesse is a thick Calcium based filler which should be used only in deep tissue injections such as; Nasolabial folds, cheek hollows and flat bony prominences. I inject Radiesse in patients with flat cheek bones to avoid cheek implant surgery. It is also very effective in filling dents on the lower jaw bone to camouflage depression in front of the jowls.

Radiesse: the injectable implant

I have utilized Radiesse in a fashion I would call the injectable implant. It can be used to simulate cheek or chin or small nasal implants as well as filling the nasolabial folds. see video

Best areas for Radiesse

Radiesse is an excellent "foundational filler", meaning it should not be placed too superficially. I find it is excellent in cheeks, cheekbones, nasoloabial folds as well as along the jaw line. An experienced injector will advise on the best filler and location for you.

Radiesse

Radiesse can smooth and enhances key areas of the face. The best areas include the nose (as part of a nonsurgical rhinoplasty), for the chin, the cheeks, and for deeper nasolabial folds.

Best Sites for Radiesse

I have used Radiesse extensively for a couple years. 1.) Radiesse lasts about a year. 2.) Radiesse works well for the tear trough areas, cheeks, lateral brow, Nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and skin wrinkles on the cheeks. 3.) Radiesse is made of bone and a hydro gel, and promotes collagen production over time. 4.) I would not use Radiesse in the lips. 5.) The main risk of Radiesse is a bruise from the injection. There is no... more

Best areas for Radiesse

Radiesse is a great filler to add volume to the cheeks. It also works well in the nasolabial folds and tear toughs. Just make sure you go to experienced Radiesse injector.

I Love Radiesse for Cheeks

I am in love with Radiesse for cheek augmentation. I have seen so many smiling, happy patients receiving immediate gratification since I began encouraging my patients to try it. While many patients come to me specifically for cheek augmentation with fillers, or we discuss it in a consult before their treatment, many patients decide to try it with part of their syringe(s) while I am treatment their naso-labial folds or marionette lines. Sometimes it just takes a little... more

Best areas before Radiesse

Radiesse is an excellent and durable dermal filler that consists of the ground substance of bone. For this reason, it behaves differently than the hyaluronic acid-based fillers. Radiesse works best when it is injected deep into the skin and soft tissues of the face. Ideal areas for injection include the nasolabial fold and the cheek region. The results have also been noticed with injection along the jaw line. Extreme care should be taken when injecting Radiesse into the skin... more

Best Areas for Radiesse

Radiesse is deep dermal filler that will last approximately 12 to 18 months. Radiesse is an excellent choice for nasolabial folds, chin areas, marionette lines, and cheek enhancement. Other options are: jawline enhancement and temple volume replacement.

Radiesse is FDA approved to treat nasolabial folds

Radiesse is U.S. FDA approved to treat mild to moderate facial creases in the mid- to lower face, namely the nasolabial folds or creases that develop from the nose to the outside corners of the mouth. Radiesse has been used to improve the volume in the midface and cheeks and to enhance the chin and jawline. In addition, it may be used to fill concave scars, and to enhance a nasal tip.

Radiesse can be individualized for your own needs

Injections really need to be individualized for each patient. In general, I like to injection Radiesse into the cheek, Evolence into the nasolabial crease, and Juvederm into the lips. However, it all depends on your anatomy and skin quality.

Radiesse can be used in many different places

Thank you for your question. Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapetite deep dermal filler that will last approximately 1-1.5 years. Radiesse is an excellent choice for nasolabial folds, chin areas, marionette lines, and cheek enhancement. Radiesse is also an option for jawline enhancement, neck tightening ("radiesse sling"), temple volume replacement, and cheek bone enhancement. Radiesse is one of the best choices for nasal corrections ("non-surgical nose job"). This is to... more

Nasolabial folds, cheek volume, and temple area, sometimes marrionette lines

Radiesse is a great filler and one I use frquently. Becuase it is a little thicker it is better for deeper wrinkles. It is not good for the lips, in fact, because it is thicker and more firm. It is great for the nasolabial folds, which are the smile lines that go from the corner of your nose downward. This is the most common area to use it, and I find it to be much better than Juvederm for this problem. It can also make the cheeks more full, but it takes a few syringes and can be costly as... more

Radiesse is best in the groove betweeen the chin and the jowl

This groove is called the "pre-jowl sulcus", and it gives the chin the shape of an M. Filling in this groove with Radiesse hides the jowls and gives you a cleaner jawline. It should be injected DEEP. For the cheeks, I am now using more Juvederm. It is softer and more forgiving, and I think it lasts just as long.

Radiesse can be used with good effect in several locations

Radiesse is FDA-approved for wrinkle correction in the nasolabial fold and for the correction of HIV facial wasting (cheeks). Radiesse is actually quite versatile. Areas of the face that are appropriate for Radiesse include the nasolabial folds (parentheses), cheeks, chin, marionette lines, and under certain circumstances, in the tear trough area near the lower eyelids. Radiesse can also be used to camouflage a prominent hump of the nasal bridge. Radiesse should not be used in the lips,... more

Radiesse makes beautiful cheeks and fills the face

I love Radiesse to enhance the cheek area and to lift the whole cheek to temple area. Then I use it to treat the nasolabial folds. This can also be achieved by using Perlane. Radiesse can make the face look more youthful by directing the fullnes and the visual point to the cheeks and temples and eye area instead of the usual downward angle of the flattened cheeks, nasolabial folds and jowls. I never use Radiesse in the glabellar area or within the orbital rim or tear troughs. I hope this... more

Nasolabial folds and volume addition

Radiesse is best in the nasolabial folds and as a volume enhancer in the cheek area, as well as the marionette lines and jowl line. You have to be careful it is not injected too superficially, and I wouldn't recommend it being injected into the lips. Good luck
