Radiesse for Jaw Line?

Radiesse is an injectible filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite, a mineral found in tooth enamel. It is biocompatible with our bodies.
When used in areas to increase volume such as the jawline, good results require several treatments over the course of a year. In a typical syringe of Radiesse, 70% of the volume injected is just carrier gel. It goes away in about 12 weeks. The other 30% is the mineral. It will be the building block for new collagen volume to be laid down.
I typically have my patients come for a booster at 12 weeks to add onto the last layer I placed earlier. I think of it as building a wall, one layer of bricks at a time. It is a great volumizer to build a lasting change in the areas treated. I don't think of it as filler which is more temporary (eg. Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, etc.), but as a material that will add long term volume to areas that have shrunk with aging of the face.
Good luck,

Radiesse works very well in the jaw line, I like to use a cannula for injection in this area. The jaw line treatment can soften adjacent tissues as an additional bonus to this procedure.

Both Radiesse and Voluma are wonderful fillers for the jawline. Injecting this area can help with jowls and can redrape the facial skin such than marionette lines and nasolabial folds are less deep.
