How Long Does It Take Swelling and Redness from Radiesse in the Hand to Go Down?

Mild swelling in the hands for up to a week after Radiesse
injection is completely normal. These
signs usually go away in a short period and are generally mild in nature. An
ice pack may be applied to the treatment area to help reduce swelling. If the swelling is excessive, I would
recommend calling your provider so that they are informed.

Swelling after Radiesse injection into the hands is very common and may last for up to 2 weeks. I advise my patients to keep their hands elevated (above the level of the heart), ice frequently, and wear the carpal tunnel splits (can be purchased in the drug store) for extra compression to minimize swelling. Swelling two days after injection is not a sign of permanent damage, as long as you are feeling fine otherwise. Time is your biggest ally, but the above measures may help.
