Both of these, along with Dysport, fall into the neurotoxin family and are indicated to last 3-4 months.

Radiesse is a dermal filler injected deep into the skin and has no effect on how one’s chin hair grows.

I would recommend you follow-up with the injector and have him/her make the determination if injected too close to the surface of your lip. However, please keep in mind the lip area is very sensitive and can bruise and swell easily. Lumps sometimes will appear if the injector did not massage the area being injected to help evenly distribute the product.

A full syringe of Radiesse costs $800 per syringe with a half of syringe costing $450.  Treatment costs will be dependent upon desired results you wish to achieve and it is our recommendation you seek advice from a board certified physician who has received formal Radiesse training.
