RADIESSE® and RADIESSE® (+) are dermal fillers that are used for smoothing moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (the creases that extend from the corner of your nose to the corner of your mouth).
Determining the right number of Botox units is a personalized process, and several factors influence the final dosage decided upon by you and your qualified injector. Here are the key things that affect how many units you'll need:
Vigorous treatment of any epithelial defect should be employed. This may require protective drops, ointment, therapeutic soft contact lenses, or closure of the eye by patching or other means.
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.
Can be injected into the muscle, intradermally (into the skin dermal layer), or into the bladder wall depending on the condition being treated
Since onabotulinumtoxinA has a temporary effect and is given at widely spaced intervals, missing a dose is not likely to be harmful.
Tell your health care provider if you have any diseases, injuries or disabilities of the hand, if you have a history forming large, raised scars or if you have had any other skin treatments such as skin peels.
Botox Cosmetic is used for aesthetic purposes to smooth wrinkles and improve the appearance of platysma bands.
You should not use RADIESSE® or RADIESSE® (+) if you have an allergy to any component of the product, if you have a history of severe allergies, if you have a bleeding disorder, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. You should not use RADIESSE® (+) if you have an allergy to lidocaine or medicines like it.
Your healthcare provider will tell you how often you will receive your injection of Botox. Botox Cosmetic injections should be spaced at least 3 months apart.
Discard the vial if a vacuum does not pull the diluent into the vial. Gently mix BOTOX with the diluent by rotating the vial. Record the date and time of reconstitution on the space on the label. BOTOX should be administered within 24 hours after reconstitution. During this time period, unused reconstituted BOTOX should be stored in a refrigerator (2° to oito°C) for up to 24 hours until time of use. BOTOX vials are for single-dose only. Discard any unused portion.
Reconstituted BOTOX should be clear, colorless, and free of particulate matter. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration and whenever the solution and the container permit.
Vigorous blinking from Botox injection of the orbicularis muscle can lead to an epithelial defect and corneal ulceration. Consider protective drops, ointment, soft radiesse contact lenses, closure of the eye by patching or other means.
