N2 - Radiesse™ or calcium hydroxylapatite has been used for years in patients with HIV associated lipoatrophy [1] as well as for facial wrinkles and nasolabial folds [2, 3], but can be painful to inject especially in the latter area. This discomfort can be severe enough that after an injection with Radiesse™, a patient, despite excellent results, may refuse additional treatments. We hereby describe several methods of minimizing discomfort during Radiesse™ injections of nasolabial folds and other facial areas.
