Calcium hydroxylapatite for the face
in Barcelona.

Dr. Bermejo Pérez · Reg. no. 63226

A collagen biostimulator with an immediate volumising effect. Calcium hydroxylapatite works in two phases — instant structural support and gradual tissue regeneration over months. The longest-lasting result among regenerative treatments.

In short

Calcium hydroxylapatite is a biostimulator that supports the skin and stimulates your own collagen to treat laxity. A 30–45 minute session, minimal downtime and results lasting 18–24 months. Price: €280–350 per vial. Treatment is performed by Dr. Rubén Bermejo Pérez, a registered aesthetic physician (COMB no. 63226), at Clínica Sagrada Família, Barcelona.

Dr. Bermejo explains the double role of calcium hydroxylapatite: a slight immediate lift and collagen production in the medium term.

Medical judgement

“Calcium hydroxylapatite doesn't choose between filling and regenerating. It does both — and that's why it lasts longer than any hyaluronic acid.”
Dr. Rubén Bermejo Pérez

How it works · Calcium hydroxylapatite

A slight lift and new collagen.

01
Microspheres

They integrate into the deep dermis and give a small immediate lift.

02
Collagen and elastin

They stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen.

03
Gradual result

The real result shows between three and six months.

What it treats

What does calcium hydroxylapatite improve?

Calcium hydroxylapatite: midface volume and structure (illustration)
01

Loss of volume and structure in the midface

Calcium hydroxylapatite gives immediate structural support where hyaluronic acid isn't dense enough to hold the tissue. In the cheek and midface it acts as scaffolding — restoring lost projection while stimulating collagen. The result is firmer and longer-lasting than with conventional fillers.

02

Neck and décolletage rejuvenation

The skin of the neck and décolletage loses firmness and quality before the face — and responds less to conventional fillers. Diluted calcium hydroxylapatite stimulates collagen diffusely here, improving firmness and skin quality without adding volume. One of the few options with real results in these areas.

Back of the hands

Hands age quickly and show volume loss very visibly — tendons, veins and bones become prominent. Calcium hydroxylapatite fills and firms the back of the hand with a very natural result that lasts longer than hyaluronic acid there.

A long-lasting alternative to hyaluronic acid

For patients who have reached the limits of hyaluronic acid or want a more structural, lasting result, calcium hydroxylapatite is the most effective alternative. Its double action — immediate filling plus collagen stimulation — gives a duration no conventional filler can match.

The practical side

How long does it last, what is the 
recovery and how much does it cost?

Everything you need to know before your consultation. No small print.

How long it lasts
18–24months

The longest duration among biostimulators. The collagen generated sustains part of the result beyond the product's absorption.

Session time
30–45min

Including anaesthetic, application and immediate shaping. In most cases a single session is enough.

Recovery
Minimal

Possible swelling or mild bruising for 24–72 h. Normal life straight away. Avoid massaging the area for the first few days.

Price
280–350€

Per vial, depending on the amount needed. Confirmed at the assessment.

Who it's for

Who is it right — and who is it not for?

A good candidate

It is a good fit if…

  • You want a volumising, regenerative result that lasts longer than hyaluronic acid
  • You have lost structure and firmness in the midface or cheek
  • You want to rejuvenate the neck, décolletage or back of the hands
  • You've reached the limits of hyaluronic acid and want a next step
  • You want to treat less often with a longer-lasting result
Better to wait or consider another option

I don't recommend it if…

  • You have a known allergy to calcium hydroxylapatite or its ingredients
  • You want a reversible result — it can't be dissolved with hyaluronidase
  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • You have an active infection in the area

Not sure if it's for you? That is exactly what the consultation is for: I'll tell you honestly what I see.

How much does calcium hydroxylapatite cost in Barcelona?

The price is €280–350 per vial, depending on the amount needed, confirmed at the assessment. The first consultation is free. You can see all fees on the prices page.

How long do the results last?

Usually 18–24 months — the longest among biostimulators. The collagen generated sustains part of the result beyond the product's absorption.

Where is it done and who does it?

At Clínica Sagrada Família, C/ Torras i Pujalt 1 (3rd floor), Barcelona. It is performed personally by Dr. Rubén Bermejo Pérez, registered physician no. 63226.

What exactly is calcium hydroxylapatite?

Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) is a mineral-based biostimulator — the same component that makes up bones and teeth. Injected into soft tissue it acts as scaffolding: it gives immediate support and stimulates your own collagen over the following months.

How is it different from hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid only fills — when it's absorbed, the result disappears. Calcium hydroxylapatite fills and stimulates collagen at the same time. When it's absorbed, the collagen generated keeps part of the result. That's why it lasts 18–24 months versus 9–12 for hyaluronic acid. The trade-off is that it can't be reversed with hyaluronidase.

Is it reversible?

No. Unlike hyaluronic acid, it can't be dissolved with hyaluronidase. It is biodegradable — the body absorbs it naturally over 18–24 months. That's why patient selection and technique are especially important — there's no immediate way back if the result isn't as expected.

When will I see the result?

The volumising effect is immediate — visible from day one. Collagen stimulation is gradual and improves over the following 3–6 months. The final, most complete result shows at 3–4 months.

Does it hurt?

Discomfort is moderate — it's thicker than hyaluronic acid and the injection can create a little more pressure. We use local or topical anaesthetic depending on the area. Most patients tolerate it well.

Can it be used anywhere on the face?

Not everywhere. It's contraindicated in very thin skin — eyelids, lips, under the eyes — where the risk of irregularities or visible product is higher. The preferred areas are the cheeks, midface, neck, décolletage and hands.

How many sessions are needed?

In most cases a single session gives a complete result. After 18–24 months, when the effect starts to fade, the treatment can be repeated. Some patients with very marked volume loss may need a second session at 6 months.
