HarmonyCa: A new hybrid dermal filler

The science behind HarmonyCa

First of all, HarmonyCa is a biostimulator filler, an injection treatment that promotes collagen production to rejuvenate the skin and address facial wrinkles and sagging skin with longer-lasting results than traditional fillers.
HarmonyCa is applied to the outer edges of the face - cheekbones and jawline, to reduce shadows and create firmer skin.

But how does it work and when can you expect to see the changes?

Immediate smoothing effect: Right after the first treatment, HarmonyCa starts working. Its combination of hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite works wonders. The hyaluronic acid has an immediate smoothing effect on superficial wrinkles and folds.

Gradual transformation (3-6 months): Over the next 3-6 months, the effects of the treatment continue. Calcium hydroxyapatite stimulates fibroblasts to increase the production of new collagen and elastin, which gradually tightens and firms your skin. This results in a natural lift, especially around the cheekbones and jawline, as laxity is reduced.

Full lustre (6 months): After about 6 months, the results fully blossom. Your skin looks firmer, contoured and healthy. Lines and creases are smoothed out and your facial structure looks more lifted. This rejuvenating effect can last up to 2 years before you need to consider any maintenance treatment.

Treated areas

Calcium hydroxyapatite is a substance that is naturally found in our bones. Therefore, this substance is suitable to be added alongside our facial skeleton.
Strategically injected along the cheekbones and jawline, it gives definition to these sculpted zones while tightening the skin. As the outer structure of the face is contoured and firm, the sagging over the cheeks and lower face is also reduced. However, if these are the areas you want to treat more specifically, other biostimulator fillers like Ellanse may be a better option.

The result of harmonyCa is like a 'mini facelift' as facial contours are restored in all the right places. The delicate areas you want to emphasise get subtle improvements, while wrinkles and fine lines are smoothed out for a smoother look.

Restrictions

There is no doubt that it is a powerful cosmetic treatment, but it is important to note that it is not designed for certain areas. It is not suitable for treating the lips, cheeks, eyes, neck or décolletage.

These regions require specialised approaches and treatments tailored to their unique needs.

HarmonyCa's specific formulation and benefits are best suited for facial rejuvenation and for addressing wrinkles and volume loss in selected areas. If you are considering treatments for the lips, eyes, neck or décolletage, book an appointment with Dr Nina in Gothenburg to explore the most suitable options for these areas.

Combination with regular fillers

Combining HarmonyCa with other fillers is a winning strategy. Fillers are usually placed deeper in the skin and add volume, which works harmoniously.

For example, you might consider placing fillers on areas such as the nasolabial fold and cheeks. Then you can improve your results by working with harmonyCa on the cheekbones and jawline. This combination can provide a more comprehensive rejuvenation for your face.

At the Gothenburg Clinic, we offer package options that include both fillers and HarmonyCa to meet your specific needs.

You can choose a small pack containing 1 ml of fillers and 1 ml of HarmonyCa for one area.
For a more comprehensive rejuvenation, our full face package offers 2ml fillers and 2ml HarmonyCa. These packs provide flexibility and options to achieve the results you desire.

Potential side effects

The most common side effects with HarmonyCa are mild and transient.

Swelling, redness and soreness a few days after treatment are common. Bruising may occur.
Also be prepared for any small lumps around the injection sites. Don't worry - these symptoms usually subside within a few days as your body adjusts.

A little simple self-care can help minimise the side effects. Avoid alcohol, strenuous exercise and facial massage for at least 24 hours after treatment. Mild cool compresses can relieve swelling and bruising. Over-the-counter painkillers are also okay if needed.

More serious side effects are very rare when administered correctly by an experienced healthcare provider such as the staff at Dr Nina's clinic in Gothenburg. As with all types of fillers, there is a minimal risk of it ending up in vessels and causing clotting and necrosis. Always consult with a licensed aesthetic professional to ensure optimal results.
