Do microcurrent facials (or sonic facials) dilute dermal fillers or interfere in any negative way? I would like to try a microcurrent facial, but i am worried it might dilute my very costly Radiesse treatment. Would it be better to get the microfacial first? Thanks

Answer: Microcurrent Facials and Filler Longevity
My experience is that extensive manual massage (20 minutes per session and/or more than once session per month) with lymphatic drainage can reduce a filler's longevity, although there have been no studies to prove this. A routine facial with a 10 minute massage done once every 6 weeks is unlikely to make a significant reduction in the longevity of your filler, but there is no data I know of that is available to assess the effects of microcurrent treatments or radiofrequency tightening treatments on the longevity of fillers.

Answer: Microcurrent facial
The answer is we do not really know. I asked the Radiesse people and they did not know if the product would be broken up faster etc. My advice, get your facial first then filler.
