It was recommended that I get 2 syringes of the 1.5ml of Radiesse. When that wears off, will I always need 2 syringes?

Long-term Dose of Radiesse

  Hi and thank you for your question! Radiesse is a stimulatory filler that stimulates body to make collagen around it, so the eventual volume you gain tends to be more than the volume of the Radiesse itself. However, you need to keep in mind that the aging process does continue which means that even if next time you still need 2 syringes of Radiesse, it does not mean that there was no extra collagen because without the extra collagen made, you might even be needing 3 or 4 syringes then. I hope it helps and good luck!
