HArmonyCa

The process begins with a friendly consultation with our Head of Non-Surgical Department, Kerstie. During this time they will discuss your reason for treatment, your concern and analyse the desired treatment area to examine if HArmonyCa is the best course of action to take. They will then match you to our Aesthetic Doctor or Aesthetic Nurse – depending on your preference.

On the day of the treatment, your Aesthetic Doctor or Nurse will cleanse the area before administering the product. Any discomfort will be minimal as this injectable already contains lidocaine.

The unit will vary depending on the size of the area and the severity of the concern. You may feel a very slight scratch on the entry sites.

There are a lot of different types of collagen stimulators – and most of our device-led treatments like Potenza RF Microneedling, Laser Pigmentation Removal and Thermage are some of them – but when it comes to injectables treatments like HArmonyCa, as it contains two powerhouse ingredients, Hyaluronic Acid and Calcium Hydroxyapatite, these both support your skin’s natural collagen.

Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHa) is specially important in this process and can also be described as a bio-collagen stimulator because of how the CaHa interacts with, and stimulates, the skin’s collagen. It works by triggering cell proliferation, which essentially duplicates the production of new collagen and has also been known to improve the elasticity of the elastin fibres.

Usually this new collagen production can be seen quickly, the growth of new collagen can be fast – sometimes as early as one week after the treatment. These resutls will continue to get better and better over the next weeks and months.

As it is a hybrid dermal filler, the lifting effects can last between 18 months – 3 years before the filler is completely broken down. It lasts a lot longer than normal fillers as it contains CAHa, which means the regeneration effects that the CaHA produces lasts. We think HArmonyCa is going to be extremely popular in our clinic precisely because of these dual, sustaining effects.

Any adult who wants to target wrinkles, loss of volume and re-establish and improve their facial architecture. HArmonyCa would be the first choice for those looking to achieve a youthful appearance and elevate their features with natural-looking results and minimal downtime.

This product is ideal for use on the lower and mid-facial zones.

There is no downtime with this treatment and as it is an injectable you can expect some swelling or redness due to the nature of the treatment. Any visible signs of treatment can be alleviated with an ice pack or cold compress.

The permanency varies from patient to patient, but usually, Baby Botox starts to wear off after around 12 weeks. Its longevity also depends on the strength of the muscle.

This usually depends on the concern you wish to target. Some patients can achieve their desired outcome within one treatment, but this varies from patient to patient.

After your HArmonyCa treatment we always advise that you avoid any strenuous activity as you want to allow the product to completely settle.

We also recommend that you avoid any sunlight and tanning lamp and don’t expose the area to extreme weather conditions for 24 hours after the treatment. This is minimising any redness, swelling or irritation.

After your treatment, you can request an icepack or a cold compress to help alleviate any visible signs of treatment.

If you notice any small lumps or bumps appear around the treatment area, gently massaging will help.

Depending on the extent of HArmonyCa needed, it can vary between 15-60 minutes.

Common side effects include swelling, tenderness and itching – these are all perfectly normal inflammatory skin reactions and should resolve within 1-2 days or diminish after a week.

Other side effects can include bruising and less common side effects can be rashes, bumps or a build-up of fluid (however, these are rare side effects).

With HArmonyCa, usually any side effects diminish by themselves anywhere between 24-48 hours or 1 week. However, if any symptoms continue to persist after a week, please get in touch with your Aesthetician.
