Hyperdiluting Calcium Hydroxylapatite With Platelet-Rich Plasma and Hyaluronidase for Improving Neck Laxity and Wrinkle Severity

Cureus. 2024 Jul 6;16(7):e63969. doi: 10.7759/cureus.63969. eCollection 2024 Jul.

Abstract

The two cases discussed in this report investigate the efficacy and safety of a novel injectable therapy for treating neck wrinkles and skin laxity, utilizing a combination of hyperdiluted calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and hyaluronidase. Two patients presenting with moderate neck wrinkles and laxity underwent treatment and were evaluated several months later. The combined therapy demonstrated improvements in skin texture and laxity following a single treatment. The rationale behind incorporating PRP and hyaluronidase was their potential to amplify the regenerative effects of CaHA. PRP contains growth factors that stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration while hyaluronidase facilitates the breakdown of hyaluronic acid, promoting better diffusion and more even product dispersion. The findings from these cases provide emerging preliminary evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of this innovative combination therapy for addressing neck wrinkles and laxity. This is the first documented instance of skin priming CaHA with hyaluronidase and PRP. Future investigations are warranted to explore the application of this treatment for other anatomical regions and to delineate the role of each injected component.
