Same lines and wrinkles after Radiesse

It is quite possible that the lines and wrinkles are NOT the same as they were before but that the results of the procedure has not fulfilled your expectations.

No improvement from Radiesse injections

Wrinkle lines or folds are really just the first obvious visible signs of a slow progressive change taking place in all structures of the face. Radiesse is not injected directly into these wrinkle lines and folds, but rather into multiple areas of the face to treat the volume loss that leads to their appearance. This leads to the subtle and natural-looking results that are so often desired. Since every face is different and because this is an art as much as it is a science, it is... more

Radiesse Injections Do Not Lead To Calcium Stone Formation

The answer to your question is “No”. Radiesse will not lead to calcium oxalate stone formation. The calcium in Radiesse is bound to phosphate, as calcium hydroxylapatite. This is the same form of calcium which comprises bone and teeth. Calcium in this form is broken down very slowly, and we typically expect the results of a Radiesse treatment to last 9-12 months. I will provide some additional information to put this into perspective in a follow-up answer, just give me some time... more

Radiesse Results

Radiesse is a filler used to replace volume. It is typically not used to fill fine lines and wrinkles. However, replacing volume in certain areas of the face can tighten the skin and alleviate wrinkles in other areas. It takes time to see this effect because your skin needs to lay down its own collagen on the Radiesse scaffolding. You may need an additional type of filler to fill the fine lines as well!

Results from Radiesse

Radiesse is a calcium based volumizing filler that is indicated for the cosmetic improvement of moderate to severe facial wrinkles. Results are typically appreciable immediately after the material is injected, however the longevity of the result is partially defendent on your body manufacturing and depositing collagen around the Radiesse particles. Specific results of filler treatment are normally a function on the size and depth of the crease and the amount of material injected... more
