Will Hyaluronidase Dissolve Radiesse.

Unfortunately Radiesse cannot be dissolved with Vitrase / hyaluronidase. A combination of fractional laser or radiofrequency, Venus Legacy treatments, and 5FU/steroid injections could help reverse the results. Otherwise, aside from waiting to see if it goes away, the only other permanent option is surgical removal. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.

Radiesse is an FDA-Approved filler that we use very frequently in our office to sculpt the contours of the face. Since we are a national center of excellence for filler reversal, we also encounter patients from other doctors' offices who wish to have Radiesse fillers removed for one reason or another. In our office, we employ a directed technique to visualize the filler material, if possible on ultrasound, and then use non-surgical methods to dissolve the filler or granuloma tissue using intralesional injections. There are many methods using a combination of enzymes, intralesional modulators of scar tissue, and Kenalog to help reduce volume and remaining filler. These techniques require meticulous attention to detail and can be performed at intervals of two to three weeks to achieve longterm effect.

No, if you want to dissolve a hyaluronic acid filler with hyaluronidase, the enzyme will remove the filler.  Hyaluronic acid fillers are Juvederm Ultra and Ultraplus, Restylane and Perlane, Prevelle and some from overseas that are not FDA approved in the United States.  Radiesse is calcium hydroxyapatite and as there is no hyaluroinic acid in it, the enzyme will not break it down.

Hyaluronidase is used to dissolve fillers such as Perlane, Restylane and Juvederm.  Any other non-hyaluronic acid fillers will be unaffected by hyaluronidase.

Thank
you for your question. Unfortunately, hyaluronidase will not dissolve Radiesse. There is no
dissolving agent for Radiesse. You can use 5FU or steroid water to help break
up nodules from Radiesse. I recommend discussing your concerns with your
injector. Best of Luck!

NO, I am sorry, Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down and dissolves hyaluronic acid based fillers like Restylane, or Juvederm.  Radiesse is made of a completely different ingredient.... calcium hydroxylapatite.

Hyaluronidase will not dissolve Radiesse.  There is no dissolving agent for Radiesse.  Nodules from Radiesse can sometime be broken up with a different fluid.  I like to use a steroid with 5FU or a steroid water to break up nodules. 

Unfortunately, hyaluronidase only dissolves hyaluronic acid based fillers such as Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm.  There is currently no agent that helps to dissolve or reverse the effects of Radiesse - only time.  Since Radiesse is not reversible and typically lasts longer than hyaluronic acid fillers, it is important to have the injections performed by an experienced, skilled physician.

Hyaluronidase injections should have no effect on Radiesse.We have nothing available ,yet, that reverses the Radiesse fullness. Hyaluronidase works on Hyaluronic acid-based fillers, such as Restylane & Juvederm ,for example.

Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxylapatite crystals suspended in a carrier gel.  Some common hyaluronic acid gel fillers include Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm.  Hyaluronidase dissolves hyaluronic acid based fillers.
