HArmonyCa
HArmonyCa™ is an innovative hybrid injectable treatment that combines two proven ingredients in a single product: Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA). This unique combination provides both an immediate lifting and volumizing effect from hyaluronic acid and long-term collagen stimulation from calcium hydroxyapatite, helping to restore facial structure, improve skin quality, and support natural-looking rejuvenation over time.
Unlike traditional dermal fillers that focus primarily on adding volume, HArmonyCa™ is designed to address multiple signs of facial aging at once, including skin laxity, loss of definition, and decreased collagen production. The result is a refreshed, lifted appearance that continues to improve as new collagen is produced in the months following treatment.
Ideal for patients experiencing mild to moderate facial volume loss or skin laxity, HArmonyCa™ is commonly used to enhance the cheeks, jawline, lower face, and areas where structural support has diminished with age.

- Arrive with clean skin free of makeup whenever possible.
- Stay well hydrated before your appointment.
- Avoid alcohol for 24–48 hours before treatment.
- Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning for at least one week prior to treatment.
If medically appropriate and approved by your healthcare provider, consider avoiding blood-thinning medications and supplements for 5–7 days before treatment, including:
- Aspirin

Inform your provider if you have a history of cold sores, are pregnant or breastfeeding, have active skin infections, or have recently received other facial treatments.
Schedule your appointment at least 2 weeks before any important events to allow time for any swelling or bruising to fully resolve.
Your provider will review your medical history and create a personalized treatment plan during your consultation to ensure HarmonyCa™ is the right treatment for you.
What’s the process and how long will it take?
Your HArmonyCa™ treatment begins with a consultation to assess your concerns, facial anatomy, and goals. Once a personalized treatment plan is created, the treatment area will be cleansed and prepared before HArmonyCa™ is strategically injected into areas requiring lift, support, and collagen stimulation.
You may notice an immediate improvement in facial contour and definition following treatment, with continued improvements in skin firmness and elasticity developing over the following months as new
collagen is produced.
Consultation: 15-20 minutes
Treatment: 20–45 minutes
Total Appointment Time: Approximately 60-75 minutesMost patients experience minimal downtime and can return to their normal activities the same day. Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur and typically resolve within a few days.
What is the comfort level?
Most patients find HArmonyCa™ to be a well-tolerated treatment with minimal discomfort. The product contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic that helps improve comfort during the injection process.
You may feel some pressure, pinching, or mild stinging during treatment, particularly in areas requiring more structural support. Following treatment, it is normal to experience temporary tenderness, swelling, or mild bruising at the injection sites.
Our team prioritizes patient comfort and will ensure you feel informed and supported throughout your treatment experience.
How long is the recovery period?
HArmonyCa™ requires minimal downtime, and most patients return to their normal daily activities immediately following treatment.
You may experience mild swelling, tenderness, redness, or bruising at the injection sites for a few days after treatment. These effects are temporary and typically resolve on their own within 3–7 days, though bruising can occasionally last longer.
For best results, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and prolonged sun exposure for the first 24 hours following treatment.
- Downtime: Minimal
- Return to Daily Activities: Same day
- Swelling & Tenderness: Typically 2–7 days
- Bruising (if present): Up to 1–2 weeks in some patients
When will I see results?
One of the unique benefits of HArmonyCa™ is that it delivers both immediate and progressive results.
- Immediately after treatment: You may notice improved facial contour, support, and definition
from the hyaluronic acid component. - Over the following weeks: The calcium hydroxyapatite component stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, leading to gradual improvements in skin firmness, elasticity, and overall skin quality.
- Optimal results: Typically seen around 3–6 months after treatment as collagen production continues to build.
The result is a refreshed, natural-looking appearance that continues to improve over time.
