I've Read That Using a Vibrator Will Help to Break-up/smooth out Radiesse? Please Tell Me It's True!

Radiesse is a stimulatory filler, and therefor injection should be avoided under the eyes in the tear trough. Hyaluronidase with not remove it. Steroids and excision are unnecessary, as injection with idocaine and manual compression can resolve a majority of nodules. Compression under the eye,  can however be difficult.

 

Hi Portland.  We would not recommend using the vibrator to try and break down the Radiesse.  If the product feels malleable (soft and workable) then it may be an option to continue to massage it to try and move it around.  It's unlikely that after 4 weeks it will change in shape, but it will likely not hurt anything either.

We do not recommend having Radiesse injected under the eyes in the future as this is a very delicate area and the benefits of using Radiesse vs. the Hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane and Juvederm do not compensate for the added risk.  We get a duration of 9-12 months with Restylane so do not see the need to use Radiesse under the eye.

Unlike Restylane and Juvederm which can be dissolved by injecting hyaluronidase, RAdiesse is in the body until it dissolves by itself.  Possibly daily massage on the lump that you have will hasten its resolution, but this is not proven.  Excessive pressure or frequency of massaging may only help to bruise you more.
