I finally did Radiesse filler today. Smile lines and marionette lines.
It only took one syringe because Radiesse is thicker than the other fillers. It only took 15 minutes!! It took four needle injections and I had no bruising and only a little swelling . This after picture of me is 2 1/2 hours after the procedure . Just fantastic !!

Wow, amazing! You look so great - that third pic of you looks 10 years younger! I can't believe how quick the procedure was.

Did you have any pain at all?

It took only 15 mins. The doctor just gave me 4 shots. Mild bleeding. No bruising at all. Put makeup on and took my after pics a couple hours later.
My doctor is a board certified MD plastic surgeon with 25 yrs experience. You pay more for that of course.
I exfoliated and moisturized my face the night before so the needle could go in my skin very easily. Helped avoid bruising and swelling.

As far as pain, it was no worse than getting four shots. Area is iced before and injection has lidocaine to numb it even more. Pain is not an issue.

You look great!
Do you mind revealing your age?
I am getting a bit tired of fillers that don't live up to expectations.
Looks like you have hit the jackpot!

Some of the fullness has faded overnight and I will be going back to have more Radiesse injected. Apparently this is common so I'm not too worried . My doctor only used one syringe so I kind of expected that I would be more. He said that if it happened he would only charge me half for the second syringe .
