Episode Transcript
Today is August 3, 2024. A recent study reveals that Calcium hydroxylapatite, or CaHA, may significantly improve décolleté wrinkles in women. According to Dr. Tatjana Pavicic, a dermatologist based in Munich, CaHA is a dermal filler traditionally used for facial volume correction and skin texture improvement. In this study, researchers focused on diluted CaHA injections to target décolleté wrinkles specifically.
The study involved 117 women with an average age of 53. Participants received either three CaHA injections spaced eight weeks apart or two injections spaced sixteen weeks apart. The results? At 16 weeks post-treatment, 73.5% of patients experienced at least a 1-point improvement in their wrinkle scores. Those with moderate baseline scores showed a 73.3% response rate, while an impressive 89.3% of those with severe baseline scores saw improvements.
Dr. Pavicic and her team noted that CaHA also had a favorable safety profile, with no treatment-related serious adverse events. Although 53% of participants reported at least one treatment-emergent adverse event, only one serious case led to study discontinuation, and crucially, all reported events were unrelated to the treatment itself.
These findings suggest that diluted CaHA could be a promising, safe option for enhancing décolleté skin texture and reducing wrinkles in women. Definitely a noteworthy advancement in the field of aesthetic medicine.
