In the dynamic field of aesthetic medicine, your choice of dermal fillers directly reflects the standards and expertise of your clinic. For distributors, clinics and hospitals aiming to optimize their product portfolios, it is crucial to understand the core differences between hyaluronic acid (HA) and hydroxyapatite calcium (CaHA). This guide provides a clear comparative analysis to empower your purchasing decisions and ensure that you offer the most effective solutions for your doctors and their patients.
Understand Core Technologies
Hyaluronic acid (HA) : A multifunctional moisturizer
Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan, a naturally occurring sugar molecule in our skin, which can bind substances in water more than 1,000 times its weight.
Mechanism of action: Hyaluronic acid fillers mainly function through immediate volume filling and tissue hydration. They are like miniature sponges, absorbing moisture to make the skin plump, and smoothing out wrinkles and increasing skin moisture from within.
The main clinical advantage: The prominent feature of HA is its reversibility. Hyaluronidase can rapidly dissolve hyaluronic acid fillers, making it a low-risk option for both doctors and patients. This flexibility allows for a wide range of indications, from subtle lip enhancement to correcting surface wrinkles.
Calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) is a biocompatible mineral that is the same as the main component of human bones and teeth.
Mechanism of action: CaHA adopts a dual-mode mechanism. It provides immediate structural correction after injection. Subsequently, it acts as a scaffold and, over time, can promote the body to produce its own collagen.
Main clinical advantages: Due to the formation of new collagen, CaHA has superior lifespan and progressive effects. It usually offers lasting effects for 12 to 18 months and provides outstanding structural improvement.

FAQ
Q1: What are the main differences between hyaluronic acid fillers and calcium hydroxylapatite fillers?
HA fillers are collagen-boosting, reversible, and typically provide immediate volume with varying longevity (6–18+ months) depending on product. CaHA fillers are thicker, stimulate collagen over time, offer longer-lasting volume (12–24+ months), and are less reversible. Choice depends on treatment area, desired longevity, and patient preferences.
Q2: Which filler lasts longer: HA fillers or CaHA fillers?
Generally, CaHA fillers last longer than many HA fillers (often 12–24 months, sometimes longer with certain products), while HA fillers typically range from 6–18 months. Actual duration varies by product, injection site, metabolism, and lifestyle.
Q3: Are HA fillers or CaHA fillers better for cheek augmentation?
For mid-face volume, both can be effective. HA fillers offer lighter, immediately adjustable results and reversibility, while CaHA provides durable support and potential collagen stimulation. Clinician expertise and individual anatomy largely determine the best option.
Q4: Do CaHA fillers require a special technique or equipment?
CaHA fillers can be more viscous and may require careful handling, sometimes using cannulas or specific injection planes. Ultrasound guidance is not required but can aid accuracy in complex areas. Training and experience are essential.
Q5: Can I combine HA and CaHA fillers in a single treatment?
Yes. A layered approach can combine HA for immediate, precise contouring with CaHA for longer-lasting lift/t projection and collagen stimulation. A comprehensive treatment plan by an experienced injector can optimize results and longevity.
