Age is not a factor

Radiesse is actually FDA approved for correction of moderate to severe facial folds and wrinkles including nasolabial folds (laugh lines). Age is not a factor but the amount of correction you need is. If you have fine lines, Radiesse is not a good option.

Radiesse is not good for laugh lines.

Hi! In Manhattan, we use Restylane for laugh lines (along with Botox) because it is safer.  But your age is not an issue. We treat patients from 30 to 70 and more. But avoid Radiesse in this area.
