Radiesse was NOT worth it: Never again

Had Radiesse as part of a study group around a year ago. Had had Restylane in the past with great results. Radiesse looked good for a couple weeks and then nothing. The doctor told me it took time to "build collagen". Nothing ever happened. Had more injected at three months and still nothing. Had Juvederm done last October (again as part of a trial) and it is still there. My lines are still as gone as the day after I had it.
My doctor has since stopped carrying Radiesse. He too was disappointed in the results. A friend of mine was considering Radiesse (a "special promotion"). I told her stick to the tried and true. I don't know about everyone else, but if I'm having needles stuck in my face, I want results!
