What is CaHA Skinbooster and How Does It Work?
CaHA Skinbooster is a biostimulating skinbooster that improves skin quality and firmness in both facial and non-facial areas. It was originally designed as a dermal filler to restore volume in areas like the cheeks, jawline, etc. Its formula, made of Carboxymethylcellulose Gel and calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, provide immediate lift while stimulating the skin’s natural collagen production respectively.
Today, CaHA Skinbooster is more often used in an optimised concentration as a biostimulatory treatment. Rather than adding volume, it helps improve skin quality, targeting texture, firmness, and elasticity.
When injected beneath the skin, CaHA Skinbooster activates collagen renewal, offering gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation. Ideal for the face, neck, and décolletage, CaHA Skinbooster supports healthier, tighter skin, without looking filled or puffy.
As the gel and microspheres naturally break down in your body, they leave behind newly restored collagen—giving your skin a firmer, smoother, and more lifted appearance.
Results are natural-looking and long-lasting, often lasting for at least a year.
CaHA Skinbooster works in two key ways:
- Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) gel (70%): Provides immediate volume to the treatment area. In the skinbooster form, it has minimal volumising effect.
- Calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres (30%): Stimulates the body’s natural collagen and elastin production, providing structural support and improving skin elasticity.
What Can CaHA Skinbooster Treat?
CaHA Skinbooster can address a range of aesthetic concerns:
- Skin laxity
- Subtle volume loss
- Marionette lines and nasolabial folds
- Facial contouring (e.g. jawline, chin)
- Acne scar resurfacing
- Hand rejuvenation
- Stretch marks
CaHA Skinbooster works well on both the face and body, offering a versatile solution for those seeking comprehensive rejuvenation.
Benefits of CaHA Skinbooster

Who is CaHA Skinbooster Suitable For?
CaHA Skinbooster is suitable for you if have:
- Loss of volume and firmness in your lower face and jawline
- Signs of ageing in your face and hands
- Loss of overall skin radiance
Is CaHA Skinbooster Safe?
Yes. CaHA Skinbooster is FDA-approved and has a long-standing safety profile—plus, it is biodegradable and biocompatible, which means it is well tolerated by the body and breaks down naturally.
Side effects of Radiesse are rare, with multiple published clinical studies concluding that Radiesse is safe.
However, some side effects include bruising, discomfort, and swelling. Rarer adverse effects include nodule or granuloma formation, infection, vascular occlusion, and allergy. All of these can be avoided by choosing an experienced and trained practitioner.
When Will I See Results?
After treatment, you will notice some skin improvements. As collagen and elastin production continues, your skin will keep improving in texture and firmness over the upcoming months.
Mild redness and swelling may occur for one to two days after treatment, but you can continue to apply makeup and return to your regular activities the following day.
How Is CaHA Skinbooster Different From Regular Dermal Fillers?
Unlike traditional HA fillers, CaHA Skinbooster:
- Strongly stimulates natural collagen production
- Provides longer-lasting results and lift
- Improves skin quality without much volumising
- Is not usually used for more delicate areas (e.g. lips/eyes)
CaHA Skinbooster vs Sculptra, Anti Wrinkle Treatment, and HA Smooth
- CaHA Skinbooster vs Sculptra: Both stimulate collagen well, but CaHA Skinbooster also provides an immediate lifting effect with CMC gel; Sculptra builds more gradually.
- CaHA Skinbooster vs Anti Wrinkle Treatment: Anti Wrinkle Treatment relaxes muscles to reduce wrinkles; CaHA Skinbooster restores volume and skin elasticity, tightness and thickness.
- CaHA Skinbooster vs HA Smooth: HA Smooth replaces hyaluronic acid in the skin, to hydrate and naturally plump the skin while gently stimulating collagen; CaHA Skinbooster has more aggressive collagen stimulation and works to thicken skin.
What Does CaHA Skinbooster Treatment Look Like?
CaHA Skinbooster is injected just beneath the skin in a straightforward, in-clinic procedure that typically takes about 30 minutes—many patients fit CaHA Skinbooster treatment over their lunch break.
