Calcium hydroxylapatite is not dissolved by hyaluronidase. Regulatory indications and evidence differ by product, jurisdiction, treatment area, dilution, and technique, so findings from one protocol should not be generalized to every use. An in-person assessment and a current emergency and referral plan are required before proceeding.
