Treatment Overview
Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) Filler is one of Korea’s most advanced bio-stimulatory injectables, designed to restore facial structure, smooth wrinkles, and stimulate natural collagen production for long-lasting rejuvenation. Unlike hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers that primarily add volume, CaHA provides both immediate lifting and progressive collagen regeneration, making it ideal for deep wrinkles, facial contouring, and skin quality improvement.
Korean dermatologists have refined CaHA techniques to combine structural lifting with skin revitalization. They often use it in diluted form (Skin Booster CaHA) for global skin tightening and glow, or in concentrated form for sculpting the cheeks, jawline, and temples. This dual-effect treatment provides natural rejuvenation and durability beyond standard fillers.
Purpose & Benefits
- Deep Wrinkle Correction: Smooths nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and chin creases.
- Collagen Stimulation: Triggers fibroblasts to regenerate elasticity and firmness.
- Facial Contouring: Defines jawline, chin, and midface with structural support.
- Skin Revitalization: Diluted CaHA improves tone, texture, and pore size.
- Long-Lasting Results: Effects maintained 12–18 months, longer than HA fillers.
- Natural Finish: Restores youthful structure without puffiness.
- Combination Potential: Enhances results when paired with HA fillers, Botox, or threads.
Ideal Candidates
CaHA treatment is recommended for:
- Adults in their 30s–60s with moderate to severe wrinkles.
- Patients with skin laxity and volume loss in midface or lower face.
- Men and women desiring longer-lasting results than HA fillers.
- Individuals with dull skin seeking both lift and glow.
- Patients needing structural correction (jawline, cheekbones, temples).
- Those who want collagen stimulation for long-term anti-aging.
Possible Risks & Complications
CaHA injections are safe in Korea’s top dermatology clinics, but potential risks include:
- Swelling & Bruising: Temporary, resolves within days.
- Nodule Formation: Rare, minimized with expert injection technique.
- Asymmetry: Correctable with follow-up adjustments.
- Overfilling: Prevented with proper placement and dosing.
- Rare Risks: Vascular occlusion or skin necrosis (extremely rare with specialists).
Techniques Used in Korea
Korean dermatologists apply precision CaHA protocols for natural results:
- Deep Structural Injections: For jawline, chin, and midface lifting.
- Hyperdiluted CaHA (“Skin Booster CaHA”): Spread evenly to improve skin texture, elasticity, and radiance.
- Hybrid Filler Approach: Combination with HA for both contouring and softness.
- Collagen-Boosting Protocols: CaHA often paired with exosomes, PRP, or laser therapy.
- Microcannula Technique: Minimizes bruising and ensures even distribution.
- Layered Injection Mapping: Customized plans for structural support + skin quality.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately After: Mild swelling, redness, or small bumps at injection sites.
- 1–3 Days: Skin feels firmer; swelling subsides.
- 2–4 Weeks: Collagen stimulation begins; skin texture improves.
- 3–6 Months: Peak glow and tightening effects visible.
- 12–18 Months: Structural support and collagen boost maintained.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid massaging the area unless instructed.
- No strenuous exercise or heat exposure for 48 hours.
- Keep skin hydrated and protected with SPF.
- Schedule maintenance every 12–18 months for optimal results.
Results & Longevity
- Immediate: Firmer, lifted contours.
- Short-Term (2–4 Weeks): Wrinkles soften, skin quality improves.
- Medium-Term (3–6 Months): Collagen regeneration enhances elasticity.
- Long-Term: Results last 12–18 months, with skin aging slowed.
