Principles of therapy of vascular occlusion in facial area provoked by introduction of calcium hydroxyapatite

Abstract

The use of dermal fllers based on calcium hydroxyapatite has become widespread among cosmetologists. These fllers are considered highly effective in the fght against age-related skin changes, have a high safety profle and are not prone to cause an autoimmune response of the body. Due to specifcs of the fller, calcium hydroxyapatite provides both restoration of soft tissue volume loss and stimulation of neocollagenesis. Having a long experience of use, the fller has frmly taken its place in aesthetic medicine and is successfully used by many doctors around the world. However, with the increase in the use of fllers, the number of side effects also increases. Currently, there are no clear guidelines for the treatment of complications of injection by calcium hydroxyapatite, unlike fllers based on hyaluronic acid. Despite the low risk of developing serious complications as a result of unintentional vascular occlusion, a number of doctors are afraid to use calcium hydroxyapatite preparations due to lack of knowledge on its elimination. This article describes the basic principles of therapy for occlusive syndrome and can help doctors to take effective and timely therapeutic measures to correct it.
