Use of RADIESSE® in the dorsum of the hand may result in significant swelling of the dorsum of the hand.
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).
In 1997, the original formulation was changed to reduce the protein load per dose, and since then treatment failure rates have dropped; however, experts estimate that 0.3 to 6% of people are still at risk of antibody development. The risk is greatest when dosages of more than 200 units per session are used, and reinjection occurs within one month. Experts are unsure if neutralizing antibodies resolve over time or if injections of botulinum toxin type B products are useful in patients with neutralizing antibodies to type A.
Subsequent injections should not be administered until the effects of the previous dose have dissipated as evidenced by substantial function in the injected and adjacent muscles.
Using this medication more often than prescribed will not make it more effective and may result in serious side effects.
This is because each manufacturer uses assay methods specific to their company, so even though dosages may be quoted in similar-sounding units, potency can vary several-fold between the different products. Care needs to be taken that the correct dosage stated is used for that particular product and the approved indications for the different products also vary.
However, there appears to be little benefit obtainable from injecting more than 5 Units per site. Some tolerance may be found when BOTOX is used in treating blepharospasm if treatments are given any more frequently than every three months, and is rare to have the effect be permanent.
Avoiding injection near the levator palpebrae superioris may reduce the complication of ptosis. Avoiding medial lower lid injections, and thereby reducing diffusion into the inferior oblique, may reduce the complication of diplopia. Ecchymosis occurs easily in the soft eyelid tissues. This can be prevented by applying pressure at the injection site immediately after the injection.
Botox Cosmetic is used for aesthetic purposes to smooth wrinkles and improve the appearance of platysma bands.
Detrusor Overactivity associated with a Neurologic Condition An intravesical instillation of diluted local anesthetic with or without sedation, or general anesthesia may be used prior to injection, per local site practice.
Your healthcare provider will tell you how often you botox will receive your injection of Botox. Botox Cosmetic injections should be spaced at least 3 months apart.

Biosimilar and interchangeable products are biological products that are highly similar to and have pelo clinically meaningful differences from the reference product.
Have a thorough consultation to discuss your goals and allow the injector to assess your specific muscle strength and anatomy.
