What’s the difference between hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite fillers?

Both hyaluronic acid (HA) and calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) fillers offer fantastic options for smoothing wrinkles and restoring volume. Here’s the key distinction:

  • Ingredient:
    • HA fillers: Made of a substance naturally found in our skin, attracting water for hydration and plumping.
    • CaHA fillers: Composed of tiny calcium particles suspended in a gel, stimulating collagen production.
  • Pros and Cons:
    • HA Fillers: Versatile, reversible with hyaluronidase, multiple softness/thickness options.
    • CaHA Fillers: Can last longer than some HA fillers, good for volume and structural support.
  • Best Uses:
    • HA fillers: Widely used for lips, cheeks, under-eyes, lines, and most areas.
    • CaHA: Excellent for cheeks, jawline, hands, and areas needing major lifting.

A consultation at AIVI Aesthetics Agoura Hills will help determine the ideal filler type based on your goals and desired results!
