Hi Doc. I want to know more about radiesse. Will the CMC 100% go away after several months? Because I avoid treatments that will leave remaining materials such as hyaluronic acid fillers. Thank you!
Please doctor hope you see my question please answer me. I had radisse diluted with saline for the jaw line area and the doctor used the cannula and spread the product and use med fanning technique but I find after 4 weeks of the procedure that my jawls is bigger and sag what could be the reason. The doctor said the radiasse is only biostmualtor and not filler so he have nothing to do with radisse what could be the reason please
@@abeerkholghi7128 Hi, sorry to hear you have had problems. It depends on the dilution and area used - it might have been diluted ok, but if less than 2:1 (2 saline for 1 Radiesse) it still can act a little like a filler. If a syringe were used just along the jawline, it might be a bit concentrated. On a positive note, things should improve - the CMC gel which is 70% of Radiesse goes in 6-12 weeks and the calcium over 6-12 months so it should gradually go down, and there will be more collagen long term to support the jawline. Hope everything works out for you.
Hi doctor! I’m planning on having Radiesse injected in my jawline and chin. Does it hold its shape well? Does it migrate? Does it cause unwanted collagen growth? Also how long should you let it settle before getting other procedures done? Any advice is appreciated, thank you so much!!!
Hi, thanks for the question! Radiesse undiluted is an amazing treatment for the jawline and chin; just make sure your injector is experienced as it isn’t reversible and you have to be really careful in a female not to widen the jawline. When done properly however it is the best filler to sculpt a sharp jawline. The filler is actually 70% a carrier gel and 30% calcium - the gel goes in 12 weeks and the calcium around a year. It rarely migrates in my experience, in part because collagen fibres grow around it - you can never have too much collagen! Once done, 2 weeks is pretty standard between most aesthetic procedures but you should check with your practitioner as it depends on what the other treatment is of course. Hope that helps!
Thank you so much for your reply! I have a round and wide face but not a lot of definition in my jawline and chin. How do I prevent Radiesse from making my jaw look wider?
👋🏻 Hi, the concern is theoretical rather than from studies- it’s the risk of nodule formation. I would certainly consider treating if the disease was stable and well controlled such as on carbimazole or after surgery/radioiodine but not if uncontrolled or symptomatic. Let me know if you have any questions and happy to help
Thank you so much for the informative comparison. But if I may asked one question, you said Radiesse is used outside the face like neck and hands, does it mean radiesse is not meant to use for face? I have droopy cheeks that is causing sagging at the Nasolabial Folds.
Hi, thanks for the question. You can certainly use Radiesse in the face - most commonly as a very lifting filler but also diluted. There’s not much to choose from against Sculptra but there is just a bit more evidence for Sculptra in the face. However Radiesse diluted seems a bit more versatile where you can use it. Both are great products!
In my experience it is fine - the way Radiesse works it doesn’t stimulate the immune system but acts as a physical scaffold and pressure stimulates fibroblasts so it should be fine
@@infinityaestheticsthank you so much doctor for you answer I will wait 12 weeks to passs and hope the size back to normal may I ask you which one will give better effect for lose skin under chin profilo or scurptra. Thank you once again
Amazing question! Personally if the fold is deep I would go for Radiesse as it has a volumising as well as biostimulatory effect. You could even blend with a HA filler which gives a little reversibility. One issue is making sure the injection doesn’t go into the facial artery which often runs along the fold - if possible ultrasound is great for that purpose. Best of luck!
@@Saibu-uo4ts Hi, the carrier gel CMC goes in around 6-12 weeks after injections - that’s 70% injections volume. However collagen production increases from around month 2 to 1 year - if it’s collagen then it will gradually reduce over several years. When did you have the treatment and how many syringes?
@infinityaesthetics Thanks a lot for the answer! 🥲🙏🙏🙏 He said it was in total 1ml of 1:1 diluted (with saline) Radiesse in my cheeks (in subcutaneous plane) Treatment was in April 2023...so basically 17 months after. It was paired with subcison though (for an acne scar treatment). Cheeks just look very chubby, esp when smiling and I never had that and weigh less now then before treatment:( How many years you guess. There's literally no study on actual longlivety sadly and on whether it EVER returns to baseline :( wouldn't it just stay permanently cause it's your own collagen now? Or at least it won't go away quicker than your natural collagen right? So the distortion would be there permanently....? Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge. Appreciate it a lot!
Dear dr. I had radiesse (1:1 diluted, 1ml total on cheeks) injected as part of an acne scar treatment. Didnt want to change my face, only improve my skin. But it ended up distorting my facial proportions and giving me puffy, chubby cheeks. Will this volume created (distortion) ever really return to baseline 100%?? Im like 18 months out and still not back to normal and honestly losing hope (as theres seemingly ZERO concrete answeres to this question). What have you seen in your practice? (The 15-18 months that the producers advertise seem to be a lie :(( ) Will it go back to exactly how it was before or did I unknowingly allow someone to permanently distort my face? Im depressed and full of regret cause of all this. Thank you so much for an honest answer (good or bad) 🙏🙏🙏
Hi, so sorry you have had a bad time. It’s an unusual treatment for acne scarring - I use Morpheus8. It wasn’t a massive amount injected but it obviously caused a lot of volume - this could only really now be because of collagen after 15 months so it will go down, it’s just a slower process as collagen degrades very gradually. Don’t give up hope!
@infinityaesthetics thank you so much for taking the time to respond, means a lot! Yes I actually went to thr appointment asking for microneedling, but he pushed me into subcision plus Radiesse (on the spot). Has been quite traumatic tbh as I never even had the chance to research properly and was not at all prepared mentally for such more invasive teatments (can't rationally explain why I couldn't stand my ground and say no...still filled with deep regret that I didn't say no). Have you actually witnessed the effect going away completely with time (like...back to baseline) yourself? t's just scary that there's no research on whether the visual effect (volume) ever actually goes away or not. And also anecdotal experiences of it really going away if unhappy are close to zero (from what I found). I pray that it will within like 4 years (or ever) go back to my original face (just grieve losing it unexpectedly q lot tbh). Had one practitioner telling me pretty coldly that "no of course the actual collagen that's generated (aka volume) doesn't go away...why should it?" That only maybe with aging and loss of fat tissue I might somewhat get back to before...so he said what I can do is intentionally melt fat with HIFU or deep RF microneedling to compensate for the increased collagen. He also said the actual Radiesse is probably gone by now and that now its just or mostly collagen. I'm just scared and don't know what to believe/do at this point regarding if the volume will or will not go down. This complete hopelessness is hard to deal with when I never intended to change my face at all, only my skin :(( Sorry for the length of the text....but I appreciate that you answered a lot!
@infinityaesthetics I was barley 27 at the time of treatment by the way (2023) so I think the radiesse dilution and amount was way overwill, cause there's a bigger chance of it generating a lot of volume then than with older people I guess :(
@@Saibu-uo4tshi, don't worry, il will get better and go away. Had a similar experience, I looked diformed with Radiesse ping-pong balls in my cheeks and jowls. 😮 Took some time, but eventually all is fine. Interestingly enough, I would choose Radiesse again for my future procedures. But another injector.
@@Cheers12324 While it’s only my opinion and not tested in studies I think this would be fine - all left at that point is calcium microspheres and no know interaction with PLLA so I think would be absolutely fine 👍🏻
Lovely explanation, doctor. I've a question I hope you can answer. I have deep nasolabial folds due to fat that was transferred to my face in 2018. I was considering Raidesse to help lift those folds. Would you recommend that? Thank you :)
I love Radiesse and this would be a good choice if the folds were very deep. My only suggestion would be to have done with ultrasound as the facial artery is very close to the fold and Radiesse is irreversible (a vascular occlusion here with Radiesse would not be good ⚠️). I do live guided injections as you can see the cannula tip at all times.
Wow, great explanation! I’m definitely following you. I have a quick question: I’m planning to get Sculptra in my temples, since you mentioned that Radiesse would not make sense in that area. However, I’m concerned about it spreading to the area under my eyes, which I’ve heard can happen often. Do you think filler would be a safer option? Also, what color is Sculptra? Is it white like Radiesse?
Hi Madeleine great questions! Sculptra is commonly injected into the temple and this is usually under the superficial fatty layer just underneath the skin where it has more effect on the overlying skin. It’s possible that some particles are going to move with gravity downwards into the fat around the outer eye, but this shouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing this helps with the skin around this area which is really thin so it can slow down the crepey under eye appearance. Filler is a good choice with more significant volume loss and hollowing in the temples but it does tend to look quite puffy initially, sometimes for a week or two. I use ultrasound live injections with the temple for safety and accuracy. Sculptrais actually white in colour as a powder but when you make it up into a suspension you can hardly see it where Radiesse is pure white even when blended with saline so it is much “whiter” than Sculptra in appearance. Hope this is ok!
Please review the audio! Slow down, take a breath and enunciate your words. The background music is overwhelming your speech; you are swallowing whole phrases. Watching with subtitles on mute.
Dear doctor. My doctor has recommended sculptra on my neck. I heard u say radiesse is best outside the face. Should I be worried. My appointment is next week. Would appreciate yo response so much
I had Radiesse slightly diluted into my temples. My injector said she did it right on my bone. Is that a good use for it? Can’t go back now anyways haha. I really appreciate your content by the way!
Hi Francesca, it’s an unusual way to use Radiesse - if diluted it would normally be into the fatty layer under the skin to generate collagen. Down onto the bone normally would need the neat product to give lift (unless it was only diluted very slightly which could work). Main reason it’s not used more is the uncertainty re vascular occlusion with the deep arteries as it is irreversible. That’s not an issue if you are ok now! Thanks for the comments - still learning a lot for the new channel
@@infinityaesthetics wow thank you for this info. Yeah she slightly diluted it and put it down to the bone. I am okay now so I’m guessing a vascular occlusion is not an issue. I had it about 12 hours ago. When am I fully in the clear?
