Can Radiesse be injected superficially?

Do not inject Radiesse superfically as it can leave the skin a white/yellow look and plaques can form.  Best, Dr. Emer.

 Radiesse is a filler that is meant to be injected deep and augment bony prominences as the cheeks or the jawline. I would highly recommend that you do not injected superficially. 

Thank you for your question. Currently I use Radiesse or Voluma to help add
volume to the cheeks. They are injected both superficially but the doctor may
go deeper depending on your facial structure. They are both great fillers that
offer slightly different advantages. Radiesse is an injectable gel that is made
of calcium hydroxyapatite, which is a normal constituent of bone. It is used to
plump the skin in areas that are sunken, wrinkled, or have developed lines (on
your face or hands). Radiesse results last one to two years. Voluma is a
hyaluronic acid filler specifically made to restore age-related volume loss to
the mid-face (cheeks, cheekbones, and around the chin). Voluma lasts up to 18
months. Please consult with your doctor to help you decide which one is best
for you.
