Great Results, but It Doesn't Last Long - Denver, CO

Worth the Wait and the $$$ - Denver, CO

I've used Juviderm as well, but prefer the results of Radiesse. I've had it done maybe four times. My doc told me that you metabolize fillers at your body's normal rate, so those with a fast metabolism will burn through the fillers faster. Exercise (since it speeds up your metabolism) will also contribute to a shorter filler "life span". Just to clarify: after four months, it's not all gone, but enough is gone that a touch-up is in order.

I've bruised before during injections, but the swelling usually goes down after a day. It was probably so expensive because he used anesthesia - which is totally unnecessary! Your doc sounds fishy. I would go elsewhere next time. Also, my Radiesse lasts about three or four months. My doc told me that six months is normal.
