30-something Radiesse
That's a great question. First, everyone is different. If those smile lines really trouble you, Radiesse is worth looking into. One great thing about filler is that the syringe is yours. If you don't need the whole dose all at once, it can be stored in the medical refrigerator and you can come in for touch-ups at no charge. As you can see on the forum, there are various fillers, including Restylane, and each physician has a treatment of preference. ...

Radiesse for smile lines
There really is not an age restriction for treatment with fillers. It really depends on the depth of the wrinkles. Radiesse and other fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane are excellent fillers to soften smile lines. The cost will vary depending on the amount of product needed to correct the lines. If the wrinkles are not very deep, I would estimate $350-$550 per treatment.

You are not too young.
Hello Lily75,
If you see lines on your face that you do not like then I would advise that you see a consultant in Plastic Surgery, Facial Plastic Surgery or Dermatology. Fillers like Radiesse or hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane, etc.) are a quick way to minimize the appearance of lines and wrinkles. I am an advocate for good skin care and proper nutrition as more long-term strategies to combat the signs of facial aging. Starting young is smart. Go see...

What age should I start getting facial fillers?
There is no age limit for fillers. I think 36 is a great opportunity to start because you still have elasticity and tone to your skin which will provide an amazing youthful look. Radiesse gives you both immediate and long-lasting results, while also restoring the face with a natural, healthy look!

Radiesse vs Juvederm for smile lines in your 30s
Radiesse, Juvederm and Restylane are effective for the treatment of smile lines (Nasolabial folds). However, I prefer Radiesse because of its longevity. One syringe of Radiesse usually would correct this area in someone your age.

Is 36 Too Young For Radiesse To Smile Lines?
Smile lines, or nasolabial folds, occur in some patients as early as the late 20's/early 30's. If you're looking to fill these folds out, you might consider Perlane which is smoother, IMHO, than Radiesse and doesn't tend to clump up when smiling. Be sure to look at the shape of the cheeks as well because the cheek volume controls the rate at which the smile lines form. Smile lines in the mid 30's is usually an indication the the anterior cheek bone...

Radiesse and Hyaluronic acid fillers
Hello,
As you can see, there is no consensus on fillers in terms of what is "best" for a given patient. A few facts basically hold true, however:
1. Radiesse predictably lasts longer than hyaluronic acid products.
2. There is a difference of opinion as to whether that is a good thing.
What I mean here is that while Radiesse can be predicted to persist longer than HA products in the tissues when used for correction of nasolabial folds, there have been reports of...

Radiesse vs Fat injections
We see many people in their 30s for treatment of the early signs of facial aging. Fillers are an ideal solution since most 30 year olds are not candidates for a facelift or more aggressive treatments. Another option to consider is fat injections, they last longer and sometimes are less expensive , depending on how large an area you're treating.

What filler is best for smile lines in your 30s
Both the biostimulators (Radiesse, Sculptra) and hyaluronic acid fillers can be used for smile lines. Radiesse is FDA approved for smile lines. It works very well in that area. Care must be taken in injecting the top portion of the smile lines not to compress the artery that runs there, as that can result in damage to the overlying skin of the cheek and nose. Make sure the doctor injecting you is a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with training and...

Radiesse for smile lines
Both Radiesse and Juvederm are very good for the "smile lines" (nasolabial folds), and you are not too young for either.
Juvederm or Restylane may last 6 months or longer and this way you may be in a better position to acquaint yourself with what fillers do, before going for Radiesse.
I like to inject some Radiesse deeply right over the malar bone before I inject it into the nasolabial folds. That way, the folds are slightly less deep before I inject them.
Make sure you are being...

No it's not too early
Nasolablal folds can be corrected at any age. radiesse is a good choice in general. 0.8cc will likely be enough. prices vary from practitioner to practitioner. genrally, the more experienced, better trained "core" physicians charge higher fees.

Juvederm is best filler for smile lines.
Hi.
As you can see there is a difference of opinion. We no longer use Radiesse under the skin. We use it deeply, against the bone (instead of a cheekbone implant or chin implant).
For lines, Juvederm Ultra Plus is safer. That seems to be the consensus in New York, at any rate.
And you are not too young.

Radiesse is best for smile lines at any age
Radiesse has been proven to be much more effective than hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm or Restylane for treatment of smile lines (nasolabial folds). Several years ago a study was done where Radiesse was injected into one nasolabial fold and, in the same patient, fillers containing hyaluronic acid were injected onto the other nasolabial fold. The majority of patients and observers picked the Radiesse side as more natural looking. This is because of the difference between...

Radiesse Smile Line Correction
I usually recommend that patients receive either Restylane or Juvederm before jumping into Radiesse treatments. The reason is not your age, but because I like patients to understand what fillers do and don't do, how they feel, what to expect, etc. Plus, if a patient absolutely hates Restylane or Juvederm, those types of fillers can be removed with hyaluronidase; Radiesse cannot be removed. Radiesse is a 1.3cc syringe which is usually enough for the area you are describing.

Radiesse for the smile lines
Greetings~
Unfortunately, it's really impossible to say without seeing you, or at least a picture of you, if you are ready for Radiesse or any of the other fillers for your smile lines. For some patients 36 is the right age...for others it could be 26 or 46. It really has more to do with your facial structure and how you have aged rather than the actual number of years. Radiesse is a great filler for the smile lines, nasolabial folds, marionette lines and upper...
