HArmonyCa™
HArmonyCa™ is new dual-effect hybrid Injectable, combining hyaluronic acid (HA) with calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) to restore collagen production and stimulate fibroblasts for a long-lasting, lifting effect.
What are hybrid dermal fillers like HArmonyCa®?
HArmonyCa® is an advanced injectable treatment that not only restores facial volume loss by providing an immediate lifting effect, but also stimulates collagen production long after treatment.
This award-winning hybrid dermal filler can visibly tighten and lift the jawline and cheeks for up to 18 months, providing natural-looking results—double the benefits in one product.
HArmonyCa® is from Allergan Aesthetics, a global leader in injectables and the same company that created Juvéderm, which we love here at Eterno Aesthetics. It’s an innovative, dual-effect hybrid injectable that combines hyaluronic acid with calcium hydroxyapatite. The hyaluronic acid provides an immediate lifting effect after the treatment, while calcium hydroxyapatite, a brilliant biostimulator, works over time by supporting the body’s collagen production to encourage stimulation and remodel the skin.
As a result, the skin will feel firmer and tighter, and you will see gradual improvement in the appearance of your complexion over time.
Delivered only by our specialist nurse prescribers, HArmonyCa® is injected into the cheeks and jawline using a cannula to fan the product throughout the mid-face. The calcium hydroxyapatite works deep within the dermis to kick-start the growth of fibroblasts that form new collagen fibres in as little as one week after injection, creating a firm collagen framework within the skin long after the hyaluronic acid is broken down. Simultaneously, the hyaluronic acid diffuses between collagen fibres of the lower dermal layer, for an immediate lifting effect.
HArmonyCa® also includes lidocaine for a more comfortable experience.
What does HArmonyCa® do?
Juvéderm is the UK’s most popular brand of Dermal Filler, so Allergan knows a thing or two about creating effective hyaluronic acid-based gels. Like other products within their remit, HArmonyCa™ contains a potent hyaluronic acid (HA) solution that adds instant volume to sunken facial features. Linking HA molecules makes the product more challenging to break down, prolonging its contouring effect. HArmonyCa™ allows the mid and lower face to be completely enhanced, restoring firmness and providing subtle definition whereby features have softened due to sagging skin. The addition of calcium hydroxyapatite also provides a secondary anti-ageing benefit. CaHa microspheres directly activate fibroblast cells. This induces neocollagenesis, which improves the structural support within connective tissue. As collagen levels rise, fine lines appear reduced and the complexion feels supple and lifted. Therefore, this powerful hybrid dermal filler provides instant results that improve in line with rising collagen levels.
What results can I expect from HArmonyCa®?
After treatment, you will notice an immediate lifting effect from the hyaluronic acid which diffuses between collagen fibres of the lower dermal layer. Following treatment, the calcium hydroxyapatite works deep within the dermis to kick-start the growth of fibroblasts that form new collagen fibres in as little as one week after injection, creating a firm collagen framework within the skin long after the hyaluronic acid is broken down. This provides a lifting and tightening effect for up to 19 months following treatment.
Does HArmonyCa® hurt?
HArmonyCa® contains 0.3% lidocaine hydrochloride, an anaesthetic, to reduce pain during treatment. But as with all treatments, pain tolerance can vary between patients.
Is there any downtime after filler treatment?
HArmonyCa® has minimal downtime, with most patients able to resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. Temporary side effects like mild swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness may occur, but typically subside within 2-5 days. It’s recommended to avoid intense exercise and excessive sun exposure for the first 24 hours.
Who are hybrid fillers suitable for?
We recommend this as a complementary treatment alongside filler for patients who are experiencing accordion lines (vertical wrinkles between the ears and lips), lack of firmness or sagging skin, lost volume in the cheeks and mid-face, and mild-to-moderate jowls.
You will see the best results from HArmonyCa® as a combination therapy. For example, it works particularly well when combined with filler to support the skin’s structure, as traditional dermal filler works on different levels of the skin and has different properties and outcomes.
How do I know which type of dermal filler treatment is right for me?
Different fillers achieve different outcomes. At your initial 1:1 consultation, we’ll discuss a personalised treatment plan that’s tailored to you. It could be that you need one or more of these options:
- Increase hydration to your face, neck, hands and décolletage.
- Smooth fine lines on your forehead and the lower face.
- Soften moderate lines in your mouth to the chin area and from your nose to your mouth.
- Remodel your cheeks and chin, and give more definition.
- Minimise scars.
- Define or enhance lips, subtly and naturally.
- Restore lost facial volume.
