is radiesse painful?
Radiesse needs to be injected deeper into the dermal area, where there is enough soft tissue to stimulate new collagen growth. Injections of Radiesse may be more painful than Restylane, Juvederm, or those fillers containing lidocaine, and a local anesthetic is usually used before injecting Radiesse. Restylane may provide a more natural look initially, but it used more for finer lines, and is not injected as deeply as Radiesse.
