Must you ice after Radiesse is injected in the hands?

Radiesse injections to the hands is a very effective treatment for aging hands and has a very high satisfaction percentage among patients.Cool compresses after is helpful for comfort and reducing swelling, which is typically modest.  I do not believe ice is a "must" because you do not want to get the skin too cold and cause skin damage.The attached link provides more information. I hope this helps.

Thank you for your excellent question.  You need not ice after injections but I do advise patients that they may have improved pain relief with use over the first 24-48 hours in addition to maintaining their hands elevated to reduce swelling.  Hope this helps.

Radiesse swells when injected into the hands so icing helps but it's not necessary. The swelling will always subside.  Please see an expert for treatments.  Best, Dr. Emer.
