Calcium Filler

Treatment

Calcium Filler

Calcium filler uses calcium hydroxylapatite, a mineral found naturally in bone. The gel adds structure straight away and prompts new collagen over the following months.

Benefits

Suitable Candidates

Procedure

Your doctor assesses your face and marks the treatment areas. A numbing cream goes on first. Your doctor then places the gel in the deeper layers with a fine needle or cannula. The session takes 30 to 45 minutes.

Recovery

Expect swelling, tenderness or small bruises for 3 to 7 days. Most people return to normal activity the same day. Skip intense exercise, heat and alcohol for 24 hours. The final shape shows at around 2 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does calcium filler differ from hyaluronic acid filler?
Calcium filler is firmer and prompts collagen. Hyaluronic acid filler binds water and dissolves with hyaluronidase.
Results often last 12 months or longer. Duration depends on the area, the amount and your metabolism.
No. Hyaluronidase does not dissolve calcium hydroxylapatite. Your body breaks the product down gradually.
Common side effects are swelling, bruising and tenderness. Rare risks include lumps, infection and a blocked blood vessel. Treatment by a licensed doctor lowers these risks.
