Radiesse is best used in Cheeks, Smile lines, and Jawline

Radiesse is made up of naturally found bone minerals (calcium and phosphate) and so it is a thicker, firmer material which should be placed in thick skin or directly over bone for the best results. Thus, the cheeks and jawline are ideal for this filler.

What Are the Best Areas to Have Radiesse

The best area by far is deep over the cheek bones. This will give a softer and more youthful appearance to the face. It can also be injected deep in the nasolabial fold area and the jowls.

One of the more popular places Radiesse is applied to is the at the nasolabial folds. Results are instant, and almost as if an eraser was used to make those lines disappear. Radiesse can also be applied to areas on the chin, jawline, marionette lines, and smile lines. "Dr.D"

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.

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.

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.

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.
