Hi Doctors, hope you're all well. It's seems Radiesse and Voluma are both good at cheek volumising. Is Radiesse a clear second best, especially considering that it is predominately made out of a carrier gel that dissipates within 3 months meaning you would require a second syringe. Whereas the results of Voluma decline gradually and not so rapidly? Look forward to any replies
Answer: Radiesse and Voluma both good for cheek volumization Radiesse and Voluma can both be used effectively for adding volume to the cheeks. Radiesse provides initial immediate improvement, but is in a gel carrier that resorbs over the first month as new collagen is stimulated in the area injected. An advantage is that it can give more definition and structure to the face. Full results from Radiesse may take longer to appear than a hyaluronic acid filler such as Voluma. The advantage to Voluma is that effects are immediate, and it can be dissolved if you do not like how it turns out. I recommend visiting a board-certified dermatologist for an in-person consultation to discuss your goals and options.

Answer: Cheek Augmentation With Fillers, Fat, Sculptra, Implants I think radiesse is actually better than voluma, in my area most people metabolize HA fillers pretty quickly and radiesse seems to last longer and give more volume for the amount of syringes used. However, it cannot be reversed. Often I will use Radiesse on the bone and Voluma in the fat to get a very sculpted appearance. This is all personal preference and technique. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Cheek plumping Thank you for your question.Both of the products do a very good job at giving volume to the cheeks. I do not see much of a difference in longevity of the products, even though it is advertised differently. I think the product used is truly based on the preference of the provider. Good luck with you decision.

Answer: Radiesse vs Voluma for Cheek Augmentation Dear JBUK,Thank you for your question. Radiesse lasts 1-2 years and Voluma lasts up to 2 years. The main difference is that they are two completely different materials. Radiesse is calcium hydroxy-appetite, which is a substance found in bone. It is radio opaque like bone meaning if you ever needed an xray on the face, you would be able to see the filler there. We don't have an ability to dissolve Radiesse if we want to. The substance of Voluma is hyaluronic acid which is a substance found in the deep skin. We have a medication that can dissolve Voluma, making it a safer product.If you have never had your cheeks done before, I would try a reversible product like Juvederm (also a hyaluronic acid.) See if you like the look and feel and then when it is time to repeat the treatment, you can choose a product that is meant to last longer.Good luck!
