Not Worth It
Spent: $750 in San Antonio, TX
2 months ago I went to have Radiesse done on my marionette lines. The lines were not bad, but I felt they aged me a few years. Because they weren't too bad, I figured the Radiesse would work like a charm. First visit -- cost $750. The nurse numbed me first. There was some pain but not too bad. I iced it for a bit after the injections. By the next morning, I was bruised a lot on my right side and a just a little on my left. The bruising went away after a week, but I wasn't happy with the left side results so I decided to go back. The nurse informed me there was a signficant amount of product left so if I wanted to come back, there would be no charge. Second visit -- I decided not to get the novacane because the pain didn't seem that bad the first time. Big mistake...the Radiesse burned for a few hours after it was injected. I didn't bruise this time. After a couple days it seemed the results hadn't changed, so I decided to go back once again. Third visit -- There was still product left so there was no charge. This time I got novacane and the pain wasn't too bad. No bruising, but once again still not happy with the right side. Believe it or not, I thought I'd try one more time. Fourth visit -- there was still product left but she did use all of it. No change on the left side still. Nurse informed me I would have to purchase a 1/2 syringe for $250 if I wanted to come back. Still not happy but I think it is time to give up. I am very disappointed.
