Question 6

Accepted Answer

Always : Always consult with your doctor when it comes to this to check where he/she is comfortable placing it. 
The Radiesse (dermal fillers) people say: 1. Naso-labial folds, 2. Cheeks, 3. Corner of the mouth. 
I like it for naso-labial fold and marionette line corrections only.

Question 7

can i get a facial (with extractions) after having radiesse? i get monthly facials that include extractions. now i'm considering radiesse on my cheeks. can i still get my facials, or would all the massaging cause problems?

Accepted Answer

I : I would suggest that you either skip a month of facials, or get the Radiesse (dermal fillers) done within a few days of your facial and tell the person giving you the facial to avoid the area at your next facial. 
The product is pliable at first, so we can shape it when it is first placed. You should be fine with getting a facial a few weeks after the injections. But, to be absolutely sure, contact Radiesse (dermal fillers) and ask them.

Question 8

does radiesse have lidocaine in it?

Accepted Answer

: According to their website, it comes with and without lidocaine.

Question 9

how safe is radiesse--any side effects?

Accepted Answer

Radiesse (dermal fillers) is safe: Radiesse is a dermal filler for wrinkles and contour filling. It has a very good safety record but should not be used in the lips. A possible disadvantage is that it cannot be removed with an enzyme injection like juvederm and Restylane (dermal fillers) but this is not often needed. It lasts a bit longer than the other fillers.

Question 10

how long does radiesse (dermal fillers) last on cheeks?

Accepted Answer

RADIESSE (dermal fillers) : Should be around 12 months.
