Can Collagenase be used to dissolve Radiesse 3 months after it was initially done?

Question

Trying to dissolve radiesse. It’s been three months so I believe the gel carrier has gone now and collagen stimulation started. Would anyone advise or not advise a Collagenase to dissolve?

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

I have not found anything that will dissolve Radiesse.  The result you achieved with your Radiesse will go away over time and is the simplest way to deal with an unwanted result.  Radiesse is primarily a calcium based compound and collagenase would not have an effect on this.

Milan Shah, MD · Answer

Collagenase, an enzyme that breaks down collagen, is not typically used to dissolve Radiesse, which is a dermal filler made of calcium hydroxylapatite. Collagenase is mainly used for dissolving collagen-based fillers, such as those containing bovine or porcine collagen.Radiesse is a different type of filler that usually requires a different approach for removal if necessary. The most effective method for addressing concerns with Radiesse would typically involve techniques such as hyaluronidase injections, which can break down hyaluronic acid fillers, or surgical removal in some cases. It's essential to consult with a skilled healthcare professional for recommendations and treatment options tailored to your specific situation.
