Is there any restriction to use Radiesse or other fillers if I have an autoimmune disorder?

Question

Taking immunosuppressants and would I still be a good candidate for fillers?

Elham Jafari, MD · Answer

Hi and thank you for your question! While there is no hard evidence, there is a theoretical possibility that stimulatory fillers such as Radiesse might interfere with immune system. Additionally, weak immune system might reduce the effectiveness of these fillers. Hence, use of hyaluronic acid fillers is preferred in patients with autoimmune disorders. I hope it helps and good luck!

Bellafill requires a skin test but in my experience I have not seen issues with autoimmune disease and fillers.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Jeff Rapaport, MD · Answer

Hyaluronic acid fillers are safer with Autoimmune diseases (Restylane and Juvederm) than Sculptra or Radiesse.

Thank you for your question. There are no restrictions for using Radiesse with an autoimmune disorder. I recommend getting a in person consultation, from a board-certified dermatologist

Many papers supporting the use of HA fillers in the context of safety and autoimmune conditions, less with Radiesse. All the best, Dr Davin S. Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
