ResumoCalcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) is a well-established collagen stimulator. In recent years, it has been increasingly used in hyperdiluted form as a biostimulatory agent rather than a volumizing filler to improve skin quality and firmness in both facial and corporal areas. However, guidelines on the techniques required to achieve optimal results are still lacking. The objective of this study was to develop a consensus recommendation for the safe and effective use of hyperdiluted CaHA for face and body biostimulation.A team of 10 experts with extensive experience in dermal fillers and biostimulatory treatments for facial and body rejuvenation convened for a live meeting. Consensus was defined as approval by 70%-89% of all participants, whereas agreement of ≥90% denoted strong consensus.For most items, the group achieved a majority consensus. Recommendations have been provided for the face, neck, décolletage, buttocks, thighs, arms, abdomen, knees, and elbows with detailed injection techniques, providing information on insertion points, dosages, and volumes for both needle and cannula injections as well as the number of treatment sessions and intervals.The expert consensus supports and provides guidance for the use of CaHA as a biostimulatory agent for face and body rejuvenation. However, further clinical studies are necessary to provide physicians with the best evidence for the best treatment practices.
