HArmonyCa is a hybrid injectable product, also called a filler, that improves skin quality and counteracts the signs of aging through the dual effect of instant and sustained lifting.
HArmonyCa
- hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite
Hybrid injectable treatment with double effect
What is HarmonyCa?
HArmonyCa is the revolutionary new filler developed by Allergan Aesthetics Italia, part of the AbbVie group. It contains two active ingredients: calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHa) and hyaluronic acid (HA). The immediate lifting effect provided by hyaluronic acid is complemented by a sustained lifting effect provided by the collagen production stimulated by calcium hydroxyapatite.
An ad-hoc treatment capable of alleviating the signs of skin ageing in a multidimensional way, thanks to the two active ingredients it contains, HArmonyCa is the first choice when we want the "lifting" effect on the face.
"With the launch of HArmonyCa, Allergan Aesthetics confirms its concrete commitment to strengthen and lead innovation in the aesthetic medicine sector with this absolute novelty in the category of hybrid injectable fillers. Our goal is to support patients to gain more and more confidence in aesthetic medicine as a branch of medicine and as a solution to their needs.", said Jelena Petrovic, CEO and General Manager of Allergan Aesthetics Italia.
SKINMED® is among the first dermatology and aesthetic centres in Romania to take advantage of this new treatment:
"We know that skin texture changes over time, which is why a multidimensional approach is needed. In addition, tissue laxity and sagging/ sagging skin can accentuate the need for this approach. Thanks to this new hybrid injectable, which combines the dual action of hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite, an immediate and prolonged lifting effect is guaranteed, with a consequent improvement in facial features. The combination of the two substances in a single solution is a new option for both patients and experienced specialists in the field..", says Dr. Amalia Anghel, primary dermato-aesthetic physician at SKINMED®, Centre of Excellence in Dermatology Bucharest.

92% of patients treated with HArmonyCa reported an improvement in the overall appearance of treated facial areas.
The survey results show that the majority of patients treated with HArmonyCa were very satisfied with the treatment: average score of 4.1 out of 5 after 19 months.
How does HArmonyCa work?
Hyaluronic acid particles penetrate deep into the skin, where they exert a plumping and volumising action for an immediate lifting effect. In addition, calcium hydroxyapatite particles stimulate the body's production of collagen, so new collagen fibres begin to form. As the gel gradually disappears, a firm and dense network of collagen appears in its place, for a gradual and long-lasting lifting effect associated with calcium hydroxyapatite.
What can be treated with HArmonyCa?
HArmonyCa is the right option for women, but also for men between the ages of 35 and 60, who want to treat unsightly areas to regain the perfect oval of the face and a youthful appearance! It is recommended for removing the "droopy face" effect.
HArmonyCa injectable treatment is used in the deep dermal layer on the side of the face for a contouring and lifting effect. It cannot be injected in the area around the eyes, in the lips or in the perioral area.
First, your doctor will discuss your concerns, assess whether HArmonyCa treatment is right for you. Then he or she will suggest areas of your face that can be treated with this hybrid injectable. Then he or she will administer HArmonyCa injections to the areas that need treatment.
HArmonyCa contains lidocaine, an anaesthetic that is designed to reduce discomfort during treatment.
After treatment is recommended:
- Avoid exercise or activities involving high intensity, sun exposure, tanning equipment or extreme weather conditions for 24 hours;
- Apply ice or cold compresses to treated areas for 24 hours, as most injectable treatments can cause redness, swelling and irritation;
- Massage the treated areas if you feel small lumps.

Hydroxyapatite has been used for over a decade in injectable treatments and is biocompatible, completely biodegradable in our skin.
In addition, Allergan's formula controls integration into tissues with a minimal inflammatory effect and is very well tolerated by our skin
How does HArmonyCa work?
As a hybrid molecule, we benefit from the immediate effects of hyaluronic acid, a well-known molecule that is perfectly biocompatible with our skin. Calcium hydroxyapatite integrates as a network in the dermis and stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis, with the benefits of a facelift. It has a stimulating effect on the skin's supportive and vascular tissue, with an important role in skin regeneration.
