Does Radiesse come without lidocaine?

Question

I have a very good pain threshold and would rather not have lidocaine injected. Personally hate the feeling of an anaesthetic! I am aware that all Voluma products come included with lidocaine, so this then leaves me having to use another filler product. I have searched everywhere to be sure Radiesse is not included with lidocaine but cannot find any definite answer. Can i ask if most surgeon offices hold Radiesse without Lidocaine? Thanks for your help.

Hello there Julian,Thank you for your question.  We carry Radiesse without lidocaine in our office and this product is readily available throughout the US.  Radiesse Plus is the same version with lidocaine.  Hope this helps.All the best,Carlos Mata, MD, MBA, FACSBoard-Certified Plastic Surgeon

Radiesse comes with or without lidocaine.  Sculptra is another product that could be used without lidocaine and I believe some of the Restylane products can still be purchased without lidocaine.

Thank you for your question. Drinking Hyaluronic acid will not affect your lip fillers. Please make sure you seek treatment from a board-certified dermatologist.

Dear julian86:Lidocaine is added to fillers to minimize discomfort. I sometimes add a small amount of epinephrine as well, to minimize bruising. Radiesse comes plain or premixed with lidocaine. In my office, we can provide either, according to your preference. BElotero is a hyaluronic acid that is sold without lidocaine, so is another option for you. Last.y, Sculptra is a biostimulatory filler that is sold a a lyophilized powder to which the doctor adds saline, and usually lidocaine, but certainly could be provided to you without the lidocaine.I do hope this was helpful for you!All the best,   Dr. Clark

To answer your question, Radiesse is available with and without lidocaine. During your consultation, just be sure to speak with your injector about your preferences. Lidocaine helps numb the area for an improved patient injection experience. Good luck!

Radiesse is an excellent filler with longevity. It comes with and without lidocaine. I personally prefer the filler without lidocaine. You should be able to find an ASPS surgeon who can address your preference.

Radiesse is one of the few products that offers both a lidocaine and non-lidocaine option.
Radiesse Plus comes with lidocaine pre-mixed with the filler product.  Radiesse does not have lidocaine mixed with the filler. 
Most experienced injectors should have both options readily available at your request.
Best of luck!

Radiesse plus has lidocaine but Radiesse does not and is easily available and as the injection is done at the junction of the skin and fat it is not very painful at all

Robert L. Kraft, MD, FACS · Answer

Radiesse is sold without the anesthetic component.  It is difficult to inject it deep without any anesthetic; if you flinch, you will bruise.  I use Restylane with lidocaine without any additional injections and that works very nicely without the feeling that you dislike.
