Steroid and Hyalase can be dissolving the Radiesse?

Question

I have done my cheeks with raddiesse filler but I'm not satisfied with the result since last month I'm taking the treatment to dissolve the fillers.my doctor uses steroid and hyalase mixd and inject to my cheeks.do you think this injection would be useful to dissolve the filler as soon as possible or I'm just wasting my money?

Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry that your Radiesse results have not been what you anticipated.  Unfortunately because Radiesse is a hydroxyapatite derivative it can not be dissolved with Hyalase and the amount of steroid needed may injury the surrounding fatty tissues of your face so I would counsel you to allow the radiesse to  absorb naturally.  Best wishes.

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.

It is best to wait it out.  Hyalase can cause problems and will not work on radiesse.  steroids have side effects.  good luck

In my experience, steroid and hyalase injections will not dissolve unwanted Radiesse. Fortunately, the Radiesse will dissolve by itself over time. I have not found any substance that helps to dissolve the Radiesse faster.

5fu/steroids and/or saline injections can work well to dissolve Radiesse. Often we combine with Venus Legacy (RF) treatments for the best results. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.
