HArmonyCa is a new hybrid filler treatment that restores volume and skin tightness without the need for surgery. It takes a multi-dimensional approach to skincare by stimulating natural collagen and elastin production in facial tissues through the application of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHa).

These ingredients are its namesake. The hyaluronic acid is the carrier, and provides improvement to hydration and luminosity. The calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHa) provides the mechanism to stimulate the scaffolding of collagen stimulation that helps to improve skin thickness and tightness.

Without the effects of other non-surgical treatments, HArmonyCa can:

• Stimulate collagen and elastin production
• Volumise the skin
• Improve skin elasticity
• Hydrate and repair the skin at a cellular level
• Restore vitality
• Reduce the signs of premature ageing due to skin laxity

HArmonyCa is the ideal treatment for those who have lost volume with skin laxity, in their face due to the process of ageing. By aiding the natural production of collagen and elastin below the skin, we can create a support system in your facial tissue that restores and maintains your skin’s youthful glow.

How can HArmonyCa enhance my appearance?

The application of HArmonyCa can:

• Create a more balanced appearance
• Reduce the appearance of  lines and wrinkles
• Improve texture and tone of skin
• Brighten skin tone through hydration
• Improve elasticity of skin
• Target multiple skin needs with one treatment

Benefits of HArmonyCa

1. Natural looking results

Unlike invasive procedures or treatments that may yield temporary outcomes, HarmonyCa focuses on enhancing facial features in a subtle and nuanced manner,  that improves over time. By stimulating existing fibroblast cells in the body to produce collagen, HarmonyCa ensures that the results magnify your natural beauty rather than altering it.

Also given this is a hybrid filler, if you don’t want to look too volumised, this filler is perfect as it is not solely a hyaluronic acid based filler.

2. Bespoke treatment plan

HArmonyCa takes a bespoke approach to treatment.

Recognising that each individual has unique facial characteristics and aesthetic goals, HarmonyCa can be tailored to meet the specific needs and preferences of the individual.

Through comprehensive consultations and personalised treatment plans, aesthetic doctors ensure that every aspect of the procedure is designed to achieve your desired outcome whilst applying our specialised understanding of beauty.

3. Boosts confidence

HArmonyCa offers individuals the opportunity to address specific concerns regarding the condition of their skin, as well as the speed of ageing. Whether it’s correcting asymmetry, refining contours, or restoring volume loss, HarmonyCa empowers individuals to feel more confident and comfortable in their skin.

4. More effective results than other non-surgical aesthetic treatments like dermal fillers

While fillers may provide temporary solutions for certain concerns, HarmonyCa offers more comprehensive and long-lasting results, due to the effects of collagen stimulation.

By addressing underlying structural issues and enhancing your skin’s ability to produce vital proteins like collagen and elastin, HarmonyCa has transformative outcomes that surpass the limitations of other treatments. This can happen by creating results that improve over 2-3 months, rather than looking “overfilled”.

5. Long-lasting results

One of the key benefits of HarmonyCa is its long-lasting results. Repeat treatments are only required every 18-24 months rather than 6 months.

Unlike some cosmetic procedures that require frequent touch-ups or maintenance treatments, HarmonyCa promotes tissue regeneration, ensuring that the improvements achieved are sustainable.

How long does it take to work?

The effects of treatment will appear differently depending on the individual receiving treatment, and the areas treated,  but can usually start to be seen within 2-3 days following treatment. However, the results of skin tightening may continue to improve over the following 2-3 months.

Because the treatment consists of  injection points and entry points for cannula into the skin, you may experience minor bruising or swelling to the treated area, but there is no significant downtime following treatment.

You will be able to return to work the same day if you wish.

What are the side effects of HArmonyCa?

HArmonyCa has minimal side effects, but you may experience inflammatory reactions such as mild bruising, redness and swelling following treatment. This will settle within 2-3 days.

If you experience rashes, bumps or a build up of fluid beneath the skin, you should seek advice from your medical practitioner.  However, if you are in the hands of a qualified aesthetic doctor, you should have advice on full aftercare.

How to take care of your skin following treatment

For 2-3 days following your treatment, it is advised that you:

• Avoid strenuous activities that may cause you to sweat
• Avoid direct sunlight or use of tanning beds
• Do not expose the area to extreme weather conditions/heat
• Apply no makeup to the treated area until the next day
• Apply a cold compress or ice pack sparingly to aid swelling

How much does it cost?

HArmonyCA treatments vary in cost depending on the number of syringes required to achieve the desired result, and the number of appointments required. Some patients only require a single treatment, others may need 2-3.

The overall cost of treatment can be determined at your initial consultation appointment where a personalised treatment plan will be established.

How long does the treatment take?

Treatment will take an average of 45-60 minutes, depending on the number of syringes required to achieve your desired result.

Is it painful?

HArmonyCa treatment is mildly uncomfortable, but your doctor can apply a numbing cream prior to the procedure to minimise discomfort upon request.

As such, we have compiled this guide on how to give your skin the freedom to age with beauty and grace.

Daily skincare

The foundation of effective skincare lies in a disciplined daily routine. Consistency is key, and the following steps should be incorporated into your daily regimen:

1. Cleanse your face

Ensure you are cleaning excess oil, make-up and dirt off your skin each day, and both in the morning and at night.

This is essential to allow any skin products that are applied to be absorbed correctly, but also to prevent clogging of your pores. Adding twice weekly exfoliation will also help remove surface dead skin cells.

2. Apply Vitamin C antioxidant serum

The active form of Vitamin C is Ascorbic acid, and acts to prevent skin damage. This is because Vitamin C is an antioxidant, and mops up free radical damage from pollution and UV radiation. It also helps brighten the skin and prevent DNA damage to skin cells. The formulation and concentration is key to a really effective serum, and it is often worth paying extra for better formulations, proven to protect your skin.

3. Skin Hydrators /  Moisturiser

A quality skin hydrator helps to regulate your own skin hydration levels. However, a moisturiser may also be required in your skincare routine, especially as you age. As the skin’s natural moisture barrier weakens over time, a good moisturiser helps retain hydration, preventing dryness and the formation of fine lines. Moisturisers are also required if your skin is dry from using active skin products such as retinol.

4. Apply UV protection

Shielding your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays is paramount to managing skin quality as you age. Sun exposure is a leading cause of premature ageing, causing wrinkles, sunspots, and a loss of skin elasticity.

Even if you plan to remain in a shaded area, you should apply SPF 30 to 50 to prevent exposure to UVA, which penetrates glass and clouds even during winter. It is also recommended that you avoid UV exposure through the use of tanning beds and instead, apply a topical tanning product.

5. Apply a Vitamin A product such as retinol at night

A retinol will allow your skin to turn over quicker from the basal layer, to allow fresher skin cells to be produced at the surface. This faster turnover of skin cells results in healthier skin and increased collagen production, and reduces fine lines. Vitamin A topical products are the only proven true anti-ageing creams which exist. This needs to be built up slowly in your routine, and a moisturiser is required to reduce any effects of dryness and peeling which is anticipated at the start. Please discuss this with your practitioner.

Consume a healthy diet

The saying ‘you are what you eat’ holds true for your skin as well. A well-balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals nourishes your skin from the inside out. Foods like fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids contribute to skin health.

Exercise regularly

Physical activity promotes blood circulation, delivering essential nutrients to your skin cells and aiding in the removal of toxins. Exercise also helps reduce stress, a factor that can accelerate the ageing process.

Many studies have proven that exercise lowers blood sugar levels to protect your body from harm and promote healthy ageing.

Polynucleotides for face, eye area and neck

Polynucleotide-based injectable gel is specifically designed as a regenerative skin treatment, particularly good for sensitive areas such as crepey skin around the eyes. It works on a cellular level to repair tissue and improve skin quality and texture from within. This leads to thicker skin and more elasticity.

Polynucleotides are fractions of DNA derived from trout or salmon, and when injected, this helps stimulate fibroblasts and encourages cell turnover, improving elasticity, boosting collagen production and providing hydrating properties to skin. The regenerative power of polynucleotides offers a non-invasive yet highly effective solution for those seeking to revitalise their appearance and combat the visible signs of ageing. This extends to the face, neck and décolletage area also.

Regenerative injectables treatments

HArmonyCa is a revolutionary hybrid dermal filler that has gained popularity for its ability to restore volume, contour the face, and minimise the appearance of wrinkles. This non-surgical approach offers natural-looking results and minimal downtime, making it an attractive option for those looking to enhance facial harmony.

These products also contain calcium hydroxyapetite, which stimulates collagen production; this treatment rejuvenates and provides elevation to the skin, allowing a long-term, natural anti-ageing solution whilst remaining non-invasive. These newer hybrid fillers are proving to be an exciting approach to skin tightening using injectable treatments.

Botox

Botox, derived from botulinum toxin, is a well-established anti-wrinkle treatment that temporarily relaxes facial muscles, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and other signs of ageing including:

• Frown and forehead lines
• Crow’s feet
• Bunny lines on the bridge of the nose
• Neck lines

Botox provides a smooth, youthful complexion and acts as both a treatment and preventive measure. By softening muscles, it reduces skin tension that leads to line formation.

Skin boosters

Skin Boosters, comprising hyaluronic acid or other skin-replenishing substances, are injected into the skin to improve hydration, texture, and overall radiance. This non-surgical filler is designed to be injected over larger areas of the face, neck and hands to restore lost volume from within.

Skin Boosters are completely bespoke to your requirements and work to actively improve elasticity by binding water when injected into the skin.

Managing your skin as you age requires a holistic approach. From a diligent daily skincare routine to groundbreaking regenerative injectable treatments, the tools at our disposal have never been more advanced. By incorporating these practices into your lifestyle, you can embrace the ageing process with confidence, knowing that your skin is receiving the care it deserves.

If you’re seeking the revolutionary effects of non-surgical aesthetics to manage your skin as you age, then you’re guaranteed to be in safe hands at The LUXE Clinique.
