I have a lot of allergies including intolerance to antihistamines and NSAIDs. Could I get a reaction to it? Please list pros and cons.
Answer: Diffusing Radiesse Radiesse is a stimulatory filler that is an excellent option for patients who desire a longer-lasting filler alternative to hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. In our office, we use Radiesse to complement structural areas of the face and contour bony prominences. Our office also is a center of excellence for filler complication treatments and we see patients who have been treated by other doctors and have undesirable results from Radiesse or other long-lasting fillers. We have treatment options available for Radiesse filler nodules, granulomas, and soft tissue thickening. The first step would be to diagnose the nodularity and determine whether there is an option for surgical vs. non-surgical removal. Surgical excision is a possibility in some patients; whereas others with more diffuse fillers may benefit from intralesional therapy using scar modulators and enzymes and kenalog. Radiesse complications may be long-lasting and prompt action is key. Patients who have no access to an expert in the field should begin gentle massage of the areas of nodularity with Plato’s Scar Serum twice daily. RF and invasive lasers can actually do more damage by stimulating further collagen growth.

Answer: Radiesse and 5fu Injections If you have nodules 5fu/steroids can work well, often we combine with venus legacy (RF) treatments. If you do not like the radiesse, it also may help but often just saline injections work for that. You will need a series of at least 3 treatments to determine if it works. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: 5fu and Radiesse There is no reliable way to remove Radiesse. 5FU is Five Flurouracil and is a chemotherapy agent for cancer. It is not listed as a recommended way of removing Rasdiesse but some have tried it. Sterile water also has been suggested as a treatment. The best way to go into Radiesse is to understand that once you have it you have it for 9 to 16 months and there is NO RELIABLE way to remove it. My Best, Dr Commons
