How long does the collagen made from Radiesse last?

Yes, Radiesse develops collagen and helps the skin improve volume and texture. Radiesse results last 12-15 months.  The "collagen" production is long term but this is more in the aspect of younger looking skin and not "growth" of the skin itself unless you do a significant amount of product. I often combine it with Sculptra to get even more collagen production long term.   Best, Dr. Emer.

The gel carrier produces immediate correction/. The Ca beads that make your collagen form only last a few months and the collagen then can last a year or more

It has been proven that Radiesse increases Collagen type I & 3 fibers, elastic tissue, and blood vessels in the skin. This is believed to contribute to a "healthier look". Studies have shown that type I collagen and elastic tissue remains increased even 7  months after treatment, but long term studies are needed to determine the long term effects. The product itself lasts about one year, while the carrier gel usually lasts about 6 months, which explains why many patients notice a decrease in correction by that time. drbader
