Radiesse comes in 2 different sizes

You should also be aware that Radiesse comes in two different sizes.

  1. The standard size is 1.3 cc.
  2. There is also a "touch up" size that is 0.3cc.

When the doctor opens the white and blue box, there should be a sealed metal foil pouch on the inside. A single tube of Radiesse is inside that sealed pouch.

On the metal foil pouch are 3 white stickers that are used for documentation. All 3 stickers are the same. The stickers have information about the product, such as the lot number, a serail number, an expiraton date, etc.

Usually, the doctor will remove one of those Radiesse stickers and put it in your chart. That way, if there is ever a problem with a batch of Radiesse, the doctor can check your chart and see which lot of Radiesse you got.

What makes you think you are getting ripped off?
