Radiesse is an excellent choice for a filler treatment on the face. Although stimulation of collagen production and the so -called stimulatory agent is traditionally thought of as Scultpra. We are finding that even other filler agents including Radiesse and even hyaluronic acid fillers have biostimulatory properties too.
You are correct that Radiesse promotes collagen formation. This is why it lasts longer than the hyaluronic acids fillers. Radiesse is excellent for volume restoration, particularly in the cheeks, but should not be used in the tear troughs or eyelid region. Restylane works very well in areas with thinner skin or in patients who are reluctant to commit to a longterm solution, in the event that they are unhappy with the result.
