Question: Does Radiesse provide permanent or temporary relief of facial wrinkles?
Answer: Radiesse provides a temporary solution to facial wrinkles and folds and can last one to two years though in multiple patients I have seen them return within six months needing more volumetric enhancement. Due to this fact, we typically use the hyaluronic acid fillers Restylane and Juvederm over Radiesse, but occasionally someone will desire a significant amount of cheek enhancement and I will oftentimes discuss cheek implants, fat grafting, and Radiesse to those particular patients.
