Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effects that bother you or do not go away. These are not all the possible side effects of Botox.
Histology slides demonstrate deposition of new collagen around CaHA microspheres over an extended period of time. Collagen fibers stain red, while other tissue elements appear more yellow.
Radiesse is injected under the skin in a minimally invasive procedure. Injection of the product provides an immediate and visible correction to the wrinkle. There is no skin sensitivity testing or reconstitution required.1
Reconstituted BOTOX is injected into the detrusor muscle via a flexible or rigid cystoscope, avoiding the trigone. The bladder should be instilled with enough saline to achieve adequate visualization for the injections, but over-distension should be avoided. The injection needle should be filled (primed) with approximately 1 mL of reconstituted BOTOX prior to the start of injections (depending on the needle length) to remove any air.
Muscle Strength and Mass: Individuals with stronger or larger facial muscles (often, but not always, correlating with male patients) will typically need more units to achieve the desired relaxation compared to those with weaker or smaller muscles.
Each dose is injected to a depth of approximately 2 mm and at a 45° angle to the skin surface, with the bevel side up to minimize leakage and to ensure the injections remain intradermal.
Reinjection typically occurs once the benefits of the liftera previous treatment have worn off, usually not more frequently than every 3 months.
There are two unique formulations of Radiesse—Radiesse and Radiesse (+). If you and your provider agree that Radiesse is right for you, they’ll design a treatment plan based on your desired outcome.

Have a thorough consultation to discuss your goals and allow the injector to assess your specific muscle strength and anatomy.
