What Qualifies Someone to Inject This Radiesse?

I tell patients to beware of the bargains. Only a qualified , well trained  plastic surgeon or dermatologist with a good eye should inject fillers. Many can be trained to inject but unless you can see where to put the product the result will not be optimal. Unless you know the anatomy well and are experienced with fillers you should not use them. There are many nurses , dentists and other less qualified individuals out there that are offering "bargin fillers". Be aware of who is treating you as this is your face and the filler will be around for a while. 

Radiesse (and similar fillers like Juvederm and Restylane) should be injected by a board certified physician, although there are many physicians who supervise aestheticians or nurses to inject fillers and Botox or Dysport. Radiesse can last a year or more and cannot be dissolved or removed, so make sure you know and trust your injector's credentials and experience.

Who is allowed to inject Radiesse and who is qualified are very different questions.

The companies will sell products including Radiesse to anyone that has a medical license. This means that pathologists can purchase this even if they have never treated a live person in their career.

Who is qualified to inject Radiesse is someone that is trained to do these injections and that understands the anatomy of the areas. They are usually Facial plastic surgeons, dermatologists, plastic surgeons and oculoplastic surgeons. There are a lots of other doctors injecting this product but they dont really have the skills to do this. Without the training, these people will typically follow cookbooks and make all their patients look the same, frequently like dolls.
