Dermal Fillers: Calcium Hydroxylapatite

What are calcium hydroxylapatite injections?

Dermal fillers like Calcium Hydroxylapatite are used to fill the moderate-to-severe creases, like frown lines, marionette lines and nasolabial folds. This is the heaviest dermal filler – one example is Radiesse.

In addition to filling in area of the face, Calcium Hydroxylapatite is also used to enhance the fullness of the cheek and other contours of the face. It is a synthetic filler, which lowers your risk of an allergic reaction. It produces very natural results, and there are very few if any side effects.

Cost for calcium hydroxylapatite

How calcium hydroxylapatite works
First used in surgery and dentistry, calcium hydroxylapatite is calcium-based microspheres that are suspended in a water-based gel. It boasts a long safety record.

Like some other types of semi-permanent dermal fillers, calcium hydroxylapatite has small particles in it that work to help your own collagen grow around the gel. Over a period of time, the particles dissolve through normal metabolic processes in the body.

Meeting with Dr. Jimerson
Prior to having calcium hydroxylapatite injections, you will have a consultation with Dr. Jimerson. This is an important appointment, as it will give you an opportunity to ask questions about the procedure and what you can expect from the surgery.

He will discuss you specific goals, take a medical history and review your current medications. Photos are usually taken, both before and after the surgery.

You will also be able to learn what options are available to you, along with the risks and possible complications of the procedure.
