Radiesse
How Long After Radiesse is Injected in Marionette Lines Should I Expect to See Results?
Radiesse, like most other fillers, should give you an instantaneous result along with some initial swelling that reduces over the next few days. Sometimes more filler might be required in order to see a more visible result. Consult with your injector to see what the best option for you would be or if a different product or approach would better suit your needs.
Clinical Context
Marionette lines lie near small vessels supplying the chin and lower lip, so careful injection depth matters. Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) is thicker than hyaluronic acid fillers, and placing it too superficially can cause visible lumps or bumps, while injecting into a vessel can cause more serious circulation problems. Because of this thicker consistency, small differences in technique and amount used can affect how smooth and even the final result looks.
