Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Radiesse is a dermal filler that can provide volume and stimulate collagen production. If you feel that your skin has become thicker or you are experiencing an undesirable effect after Radiesse treatment, there are several options to consider:

Consult with Your Provider: The first step is to consult with the healthcare provider who administered the Radiesse. They can assess your situation and provide personalized advice.

Time: Sometimes, the effects of dermal fillers can improve over time as the product integrates with your tissues and natural processes occur.

Massage: Gentle, regular massage of the treated area can sometimes help in redistributing the filler more evenly.

Enzyme Injections: While Radiesse is not hyaluronic acid-based and thus not dissolvable with hyaluronidase, other treatments might be available to help manage the effects.

Laser Treatments or Microneedling: These procedures can help in remodeling the skin and potentially improving the texture and thickness over time.

Surgery: If non-surgical methods are ineffective, a surgical consultation might be an option. However, this would be a more invasive approach and should be considered carefully with the guidance of a qualified plastic surgeon or dermatologist.

Remember, each case is unique, and a thorough evaluation by a medical professional is essential to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
