When you look at the cost of Voluma ($800 for 1cc) and Radiesse($695 for 1.5cc), Radiesse is a much better deal for my cheeks. I'm reading that most of the Radiesse syr is the gel that is absorbed & you're left with the calcium as active ingredient.Is this true? How much of Radiesse is actual product?There is a doctor in town that has a Radiesse special of buy one get one free. Is it worth it if most is the gel that gets absorbed? I know both products can last ~18 months. Thanks in advance.

Answer: Voluma vs Radiesse Both products are very reputable. In my experience you can get similar results with both products. However the longevity maybe longer with Voluma. If you have never had cheek augmentation with fillers, then using Radiesse may be a good first line option. As the volume depleats, you can replace with Voluma. Other good options for cheeks include Perlane. One other long-term option is Sculptra.

Answer: Voluma or Radiesse There is a reason that Voluma costs more than Radiesse and that's because in the cheeks it works better and can last twice as long. With full correction Voluma can last up to 2 years. I consider this to be far more cost effective than using Radiesse. Most fillers are not permanent as your body continues to age and break these products down. Remember, you get what you pay for. I would not go for something just because it is the lowest price. Deals that are too good to be true often are. Best of luck.
