GlossaryCalcium Hydroxylapatite (Hydroxyapatite)

naturally occurring mineral in bones and teeth, used in fillers

Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite, primarily found in human bones and teeth. In medical and cosmetic applications, it is used as a dermal filler to reduce wrinkles and facial lines, and in orthopedics for bone repair and augmentation due to its biocompatibility and ability to promote bone growth.
