Can I Help the Radiesse Dissolve Faster?

Radiesse is an FDA-Approved filler that we use very frequently in our office to sculpt the contours of the face. Since we are a national center of excellence for filler reversal, we also encounter patients from other doctors' offices who wish to have Radiesse fillers removed for one reason or another. In our office, we employ a directed technique to visualize the filler material, if possible on ultrasound, and then use non-surgical methods to dissolve the filler or granuloma tissue using intralesional injections. There are many methods using a combination of enzymes, intralesional modulators of scar tissue, and Kenalog to help reduce volume and remaining filler. These techniques require meticulous attention to detail and can be performed at intervals of two to three weeks to achieve longterm effect.

Your question may not be answered until a vibratory toothbrush or ultrasound device is studied for its effect on RAdiesse duration and volume reduction.

Darlagirl,   There are no tested products that I know of that  make Radiesse dissolve. I agree with Dr. Altman and think that if you sent us photos we could be more  help to you. 

Other than that, there aren't any methods of dissolving it further.  Vibration can be used for massage immediately after injection, but not six months after.  You don't mention why you are unhappy with the results.  A photo might be helpful in this case.

You might be onto something unique and have not been done or described before.

Unfortunately we are not aware of any treatment to successfully remove the Radiesse. It may not be comforting at this time, but the effects of Radiesse are not permanent.

Once injected, the process of new collage formation starts as Radiesse wrinkle filler works below your skin's surface to stimulate the production of your own collagen, which replenishes lost facial volume to smooth out the signs of aging. Within several months of your treatment, only the calcium particles remain which act as a scaffolding around which your collagen has formed. Its effects can be expected to last from one year to several years depending upon the location in which it is injected as well as your own rate of metabolism. It is therefore unlikely that the ultrasonic vibrations from your Sonicare toothbrush will have much effect on what is now your own collagen.
Since Radiesse is not reversible, it is especially important to remember that the experience and technique of the physician injecting Radiesse is the most critical part to your achieving a beautiful, natural result. Since you are not happy with your result, for your Radiesse treatments in the future you should look for someone who is on the medical education faculty for Radiesse. That way you will know they have lots of experience as they train other physicians how to inject.
