Cristalys calcium hydroxyapatite 1ml, can I get this dissolved?

Question

I received this Biostimulator in Europe and it has completely distorted my face. I previously posted about it but wasn't sure what was injected and how much. I recently found it was 1 ML. Can I get this dissolved? My face is looking more distorted over time and I feel like it's ages my face by 20 years

Hi @ereeen. I'm sorry you are not happy with your results. Only hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with Hyaluronidase.

Best of luck,

Dr. Nima

I'm sorry you are unhappy with your filler treatment.  Unfortunately only HA fillers can be dissolved with the enzyme hyaluronidase.  The product will gradually be metabolized over time.

Sorry you are having this problem. It was when these kinds of complications became increasingly discussed in the medical literature several years back that I stopped using Radiesse here in the States. Unlike HA fillers, there is no enzyme that is available to dissolve it when there are adverse reactions or complications. Personally, I have had success in treating patients with adverse outcomes, as in this case, who were injected elsewhere using an algorithm of varying intralesional ant-inflammatory agents in varying combinations, concentrations and amounts. You would be wise to consult a board certified cosmetic dermatologist. Best of luck.
