Can Radiesse Be Cut (Diluted) with Something else Before Injecting, or is It Straight from the Tube?

Great question.  I have been using Radiesse for several years.  It used to be injected without mixing it with anything else.  Even when we would do dental blocks there could be some discomfort using Radiesse.  Now that we mix it with Lidocaine it has made it so much more comfortable for the patient and easier to use for the doctor.

Good Luck

Radiesse can be mixed with typically a small amount of lidocaine (anesthetic) for a smoother injection flow and to reduce pain. I have routinely done this with great success.
