What is calcium treatment for skin?

Calcium treatment for the skin primarily involves using calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), a biocompatible injectable filler, to improve skin quality and volume.

How Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) Works

• Volume Restoration: CaHA, often known by the brand name Radiesse®, is injected into the skin to immediately add volume to areas that have lost elasticity or fullness. This can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin.
• Neocollagenesis: Beyond simply filling, CaHA stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, a process called neocollagenesis. This leads to improved skin texture and firmness over time. The new collagen helps maintain the added volume for a longer period and improves skin quality.
• Biocompatibility: Being biocompatible means CaHA is safe to use in the body as the substance is recognized and accepted by the human body, minimizing adverse reactions.

Benefits of Calcium Treatment for Skin

• Immediate Volume: You can see immediate results after the injection in terms of volume enhancement.
• Longer-lasting Results: Thanks to collagen stimulation, the results tend to last longer than many other filler options.
• Improved Skin Quality: Over time, the skin's texture and firmness will improve due to increased collagen production.
• Minimally Invasive: It is a non-surgical procedure, requiring only injections.

Practical Uses

• Facial Rejuvenation: Commonly used to address wrinkles, folds, and volume loss in the face, particularly in areas like the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and jawline.
• Hand Rejuvenation: Can also be used to restore volume and minimize the appearance of wrinkles and prominent veins in the hands.
