Calcium hydroxylapatite: Calcium hydroxylapatite is a type of mineral that is commonly found in human teeth and
bones. For wrinkle filling, calcium hydroxylapatite particles are suspended in a gel-like solution and then injected into
the wrinkle. The effects of this material last approximately 18 months. Calcium hyroxylapatite injections have been
used as a "wrinkle-remover" since 2006, calcium hyroxylapatite injections have also been used in other applications.

Radiesse BioForm Medical, Inc. Approval Date: December 22, 2006
Radiesse is an injectable calcium hydroxylapatite implant in the form of a gel. Radiesse works by temporarily adding
volume to facial tissue and restoring a smoother appearance to the face. Radiesse is intended for restoration and/or
correction of the signs of facial fat loss (lipoatrophy) in people with human immunodeficiency virus. It is injected by a
doctor into areas of facial tissue where moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds occur. The gel temporarily adds
volume to the skin and can give the appearance of a smoother surface. Radiesse will help smooth moderate to severe
facial wrinkles and folds. The smoothing effect lasts up to six months. Side effects of Radiesse include: bruising, and
itching.
FDA approves Radiesse for treating facial lipoatrophy
On December 22, 2006, the Food and Drug Administration approved Radiesse, an injectable (under the skin) implant
to restore or correct signs of facial lipidatrophy, or fat loss, in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Radiesse, a sterile, semi-solid cohesive implant consisting of synthetic calcium hydroxylapatite suspended in a gel
carrier, is a medical device. It is already approved for use as a tissue marker, for treatment of vocal fold insufficiency,
and to correct certain dental defects. The most common adverse side effects reported were temporary edema
(swelling), ecchymosis (bruising), erythema (reddening) and/or pain at the injection site. The calcium hydroxylapatite
(CaHA) particles in Radiesse can be seen in X-rays and CT Scans. Radiesse is a product of BioForm Medical Inc., of
Franksville, WI.

Coaptite® BioForm Medical, Inc. Date of Notice of Approval November 10, 2005
COAPTITE® is indicated for soft tissue augmentation in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) due to
intrinsic sphincteric deficiency (ISD) in adult females. Coaptite® is an injectable, sterile, non-pyrogenic implant
composed of spherical particles of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) (75 - 125 microns in diameter), suspended in an
aqueous based gel carrier. The gel carrier is composed of sodium carboxymethylcellulose, sterile water for injection,
and glycerin. The gel carrier suspends the CaHA particles, allowing their delivery through injection needles, and is
dissipated in vivo, while the CaHA particles remain at the injection sites to provide soft tissue augmentation.
