Overview & Procedure

What the treatment is and how it's performed

What it is

HArmonyCa from Allergan Aesthetics is a hybrid filler with hyaluronic acid and small spheres of calcium hydroxylapatite. The hyaluronic acid gives an immediate lift, while the calcium hydroxylapatite stimulates the skin to form new collagen over time. The treatment is used on the cheeks and lower face to give support and better skin quality.

  • Usually one treatment, sometimes two one to three months apart.
  • A check-up after four weeks.

  1. The doctor or practitioner assesses your skin and face shape.
  2. The skin is cleaned and disinfected. Numbing cream can be applied.
  3. The product is placed with a fine needle or blunt cannula, often in a fan pattern under the skin.
  4. The area is massaged to spread the product.

  • Avoid alcohol for the last day and supplements such as fish oil for the last week. This can mean fewer bruises.
  • Come without make-up.
  • Stop using retinol and acids three days before the treatment.

The treatment itself takes 30–45 minutes.

Experience & Recovery

Pain level, downtime and healing

Most people rate the discomfort 2–4 out of 10. The product often contains a local anaesthetic, and numbing cream can be used.

  • Common: swelling, tenderness, redness and small bruises.
  • Uncommon: small lumps under the skin that can be felt but are rarely seen.
  • Rare: infection or inflammatory lumps that appear weeks or months later.
  • Very rare: the product blocks a blood vessel. This can damage the skin and, at worst, the eyesight.

  • Follow the practitioner's advice on massage. After some products you need to massage the area for several days.
  • Avoid hard exercise, heat and alcohol for the first day.
  • Avoid strong sun until swelling and bruising have gone.

Usually 1–3 days of swelling. Swelling, tenderness and small bruises usually settle within a week.

Expectations & Safety

Who it's for and safety information

  • The lift shows straight away, while the skin quality improves over several months.
  • The hyaluronic acid can be dissolved with an enzyme, but the calcium hydroxylapatite cannot.
  • The treatment is not placed in the lips or just under the eyes.

  • Cheeks and midface that have lost support.
  • Skin that has become thinner and laxer.
  • Anyone who wants both lift and better skin quality.

  • A lot of loose skin. Surgery may suit better.
  • The lips and the area just under the eyes.

The lift shows straight away, and the skin quality improves over three to six months. The effect often lasts 12 months or longer.

  • Infection, wounds, cold sores or inflammation in the area.
  • Known allergy to the contents or to local anaesthetics.
  • A tendency to raised, growing scars (keloids).
