What Are the Best Areas to Have Radiesse?

Radiesse can be used in the cheeks, nasolabial folds, jaw-line/jowls and temples at your doctor’s discretion. Another great area for Radiesse that is often overlooked and undertreated in the back of the hands. Radiesse is a fantastic option for rejuvenating the hands due to volume loss. In fact, I was among a group of select physicians that took part in the clinical trials for Radiesse that led to it’s FDA approval for use in the hands to improve contours and help improve volume loss. Treatments take less than 10 minutes and usually last about one year. Expect to need at least one syringe per hand.

I use a lot of Radiesse and feel that it is a great filler for the cheeks, nasolabial folds, jowls, and jawline. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

The best area by far is deep over the cheek bones. This will give a softer and more  youthful appearance to the face.  It can also be injected deep in the nasolabial fold area and the jowls.

I have utilized Radiesse in a fashion I would call the injectable implant. It can be used to simulate cheek or chin or small nasal implants as well as filling the nasolabial folds. 

Radiesse is an excellent "foundational filler", meaning it should not be placed too superficially.  I find it is excellent in cheeks, cheekbones, nasoloabial folds as well as along the jaw line.  An experienced injector will advise on the best filler and location for you.

Radiesse is a great filler to add volume to the cheeks. It also works well in the nasolabial folds and tear toughs. Just make sure you go to experienced Radiesse injector.

I am in love with Radiesse for cheek augmentation.  I have seen so many smiling, happy patients receiving immediate gratification since I began encouraging my patients to try it.  While many patients come to me specifically for cheek augmentation with fillers, or we discuss it in a consult before their treatment, many patients decide to try it with part of their syringe(s) while I am treatment their naso-labial folds or marionette lines.  Sometimes it just takes a little bit of Radiesse to soften those flat areas on the cheeks that is making them feel older, but they didn't realize that was what it was until we fixed it.  Of course, many patients may use several syringes for true cheek augmentation to lift their cheeks or to correct depressions, but sometimes just a little bit of Radiesse in the cheeks brings a smile to their day, and for many of their days to come!

Radiesse is U.S. FDA approved to treat mild to moderate facial creases in the mid- to lower face, namely the nasolabial folds or creases that develop from the nose to the outside corners of the mouth.
Radiesse has been used to improve the volume in the midface and cheeks and to enhance the chin and jawline. In addition, it may be used to fill concave scars, and to enhance a nasal tip.

Injections really need to be individualized for each patient. In general, I like to injection Radiesse into the cheek, Evolence into the nasolabial crease, and Juvederm into the lips. However, it all depends on your anatomy and skin quality.

Radiesse is a great filler and one I use frquently. Becuase it is a little thicker it is better for deeper wrinkles. It is not good for the lips, in fact, because it is thicker and more firm. It is great for the nasolabial folds, which are the smile lines that go from the corner of your nose downward.
This is the most common area to use it, and I find it to be much better than Juvederm for this problem. It can also make the cheeks more full, but it takes a few syringes and can be costly as each syringe is fairly expensive. It can also help fill in the temple area of the face, which gradually shrinks in as we age.
Finally it can sometimes be helpful in the marionette lines on the face. Those are the lines that come down from the corners of the mouth.
