Question 8

What is HArmonyCa™?

Accepted Answer

HArmonyCa™ is a hybrid dermal filler that combines Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) with Hyaluronic Acid to create an immediate skin lift and gradually stimulate continuous collagen production for a more youthful look. The CaHA supports the body’s collagen production and works deep within the skin to produce new collagen fibres as early as one week after injection, while the Hyaluronic Acid provides hydration, leaving skin looking full and glowy.

Question 9

How Do HA and CaHA work in HArmonyCa™ treatment?

Accepted Answer

The hyaluronic acid particles work deep within the skin, where they help plump it up for an immediate lift effect. Calcium hydroxyapatite particles support the body’s own collagen production, so new collagen fibres start to grow. As the gel slowly disappears over time, a firm and dense collagen network is built in its place for a gradual, long-lasting lift from calcium hydroxyapatite. The clinical effects of CaHA can last 1-3 years.
