Radiesse: Q&A

Will Radiesse Dissolve Faster if the Area is Massaged Frequently?

Radiesse was put across my upper lip (which I now know is not recommended). It has been 3 months. The line across my right upper lip is raised and looks unnatural. If I rub it will it go away faster or should I just leave it alone and wait?

Massage will help with lumps

Massage will help break down lumps that has formed. However, it will not break down the actual radiesse or allow your body to assimilate it any faster.

Manual manipulation to minimize length of Radiesse correction.

Neat trick for Radiesse bumps

Neatest trick I have learned to get rid of Radiesse bumps or lumps that might develop. Get yourself one of these vibrating toothbrushes.

Radiesse and massage

I would just leave it alone and you should see some improvement within the next six months to a year. I wish I had a better answer for But rest assured time is on your side! more

Rubbing radiesse wont help

Rubbing or massaging Radiesse will not help it dissolve more quickly. It is best to just leave it alone and let it dissipate on its own. It may take 9 months or so before you start to notice that it is going away. In some areas it will last up to 2 years, but with most fillers, they do not last as long in the lip due to constant movement. Other fillers may be able to help camouflage the ridge or line that you are seeing. And, for anyone else that might be reading this... do not use radiesse in t more
