Radiesse shelf life? What happens to product if it’s 5 yrs past the expiration date.

Question

Julia Ann Sullivan Miller, MD · Answer

Products are tested extensively to determine their shelf life.  Products may become contaminated or degrade over time and therefore have a use by date on their label.  I would not recommend using a product like Radiesse years after its expiration date.

Douglas Taranow, DO, FACOS · Answer

Dear Lola,The expiration dates are based on studies of how long the product is safe to be used.  SOmething 5 years past its expiration date is unsafe for injection.Do not take a chance.  You may regret it.Dr T

Under no circumstance would I inject a product past itts shelf life.  Would you eat food that far after the “use by” date?  It certainly isn’t a good sign if a practice has such old product and, if obtained from another source, then completely inappropriate.

Thanks for writing,Self life’s are based on the long term testing and the quality of the product to that point in time. That being said, I would never consider injecting a product 5 years old. Stephen M. Davis, MD, FACS

I would not inject a product that was 5 years old.  The product thickens and the company will not guarantee an old product.
