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 Results

Radiesse is a filler used to replace volume. It is typically not used to fill fine lines and wrinkles.

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
