HArmonyCA™ Product Description
HArmonyCA™ is a hybrid injectable dermal filler combining hyaluronic acid (HA) and calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA). It is designed for facial soft tissue augmentation and offers a dual-action effect: immediate lifting and long-lasting collagen stimulation. The addition of lidocaine ensures comfort during the treatment process. This filler is suitable for patients over 18 years of age and is administered into the deep dermal and sub-dermal layers.
HArmonyCA™ Key Features and Benefits

- Immediate lift provided by hyaluronic acid, which restores volume to aging skin.
- Gradual and long-lasting lift through collagen stimulation from calcium hydroxyapatite. Clinical studies show collagen effects lasting up to 12 months and clinical improvements potentially persisting for 1–3 years.
User satisfaction data highlights:
- 91.6% of patients reported improvement in treated areas.
- A 4.1/5 satisfaction rating was observed for treatment effectiveness and likelihood of repeat use within 19 months.
