Calcium hydroxyapatite: role in the body and applications in medicine

Fillers based on calcium hydroxyapatite, along with hyaluronic fillers, are the most popular and effective fillers today.

Calcium hydroxyapatite itself – it is an inorganic component that is present in the human body as the main constituent of bone tissue.

Calcium hydroxyapatite is found in bones, cellular and acellular cement, and tooth enamel. Calcium hydroxyapatite is produced from corals of the genus Porites that live in the sea. It is widely used in dentistry, orthopedics, maxillofacial surgery, as well as in aesthetic medicine, as a filler for contouring.

Filler options based on calcium hydroxyapatite

In biological tissues, calcium hydroxyapatite is organized into crystalline structures, and it is used in microspheres in the form of white crystals. Microspheres are introduced into the body, and along with them, a carrier gel is introduced, which fills the cavity under the wrinkle and instantly smoothes it. After a while, macrophages absorb the carrier gel, and calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres remain, stimulating collagen production and the formation of a new skin matrix. Thus, the range of application of fillers based on calcium hydroxyapatite is quite wide:

with its help fill in the missing volumes on the chin, cheekbones and cheeks;
correct the oval of the face;
smooth nasolabial folds;
correct "puppet" wrinkles in the mouth area;
Perform hand correction.

Tyndall effect and the formation of white stripes on the skin, as a result of insufficiently deep injection of the filler;
the appearance of irregularities, lumps and asymmetry of the skin, as a result of the introduction of the drug into areas not intended for this – lips, nasolacrimal sulcus, etc;
development of an infectious process, in case of violation of septic and antiseptic measures;
formation of nodules and granulomas at the injection site of the gel.
