I had my first injection (1 syringe) of Radiesse done in May and by August the result was completely gone. I feel like I totally wasted my money because I paid for a result that the doctor told me was supposed to last 10 months to a year. So I had a second injection done in October (this month), and the doctor said it should last longer this time?

Answer: Radiesse Duration of Effect and Repeated Treatments
Thanks for the great question. First, Radiesse should last 9 to 12 months in most patients. However, this requires that the injections are well-placed and that your injector has a clear understanding of facial anatomy and aesthetics. Second, there is some evidence that Radiesse stimulates your body make more collagen. In some patients, after multiple treatments, a longer effect (or even permanent change) can be seen. This is not true in every case, however. Best of luck!

Answer: How long does Radiesse last?
An important consideration is to have enough Radiesse injected into the area to alleviate the loss of volume. In the cheeks the nonsurgical lift usually takes a minimum of 2 syringes. In the first year another injection may be needed in 6 months. After the first year 1 injection session per year is performed to maintain the desired result.

Answer: Does Radiesse Last Longer w/ Repeat Injections?
Hi Nan. Because the body develops new collagen in response to the Radiesse injections, we do see that for patients that are consistent with their treatments, they can go slightly longer between treatment. What happens is not that the product dissipates slower, but rather than over time, the body has developed new collagen in response to the "scaffold" that Radiesse has created and this leads to longer durations between treatments.
