How is RADIESSE different from hyaluronic acid fillers?
RADIESSE is made from calcium-based microspheres and works by both adding immediate volume and stimulating collagen production, while hyaluronic acid fillers primarily add hydration and volume.
Can RADIESSE be used in the lips?
RADIESSE is generally not recommended for lip enhancement due to its thicker consistency and is better suited for deeper structural support.
Can RADIESSE improve skin quality?
Yes, as RADIESSE stimulates collagen production, it can gradually improve skin firmness and texture over time.
Is RADIESSE reversible?
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, RADIESSE is not easily reversible, which makes proper placement and expertise especially important.
Can RADIESSE be combined with other treatments?
Yes, RADIESSE is often combined with other fillers, neuromodulators, or energy-based treatments for more comprehensive rejuvenation.
Am I too young for RADIESSE?
RADIESSE is typically used for moderate volume loss, so younger patients may benefit more from other filler options depending on their goals.
Is RADIESSE safe?
RADIESSE is FDA-approved and widely used, with a strong safety profile when administered by experienced medical professionals.
