HarmonyCa

HarmonyCa is a breakthrough hybrid injectable that combines Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) and Hyaluronic Acid (HA) in a single syringe. It provides immediate lifting while stimulating long-term collagen production. Ideal for patients seeking skin tightening and facial contouring without the overfilled look. Performed by Dr. Ömer Fatih Şahin in Nişantaşı, Istanbul, utilizing advanced vectoring techniques.

What Is HarmonyCa?

HarmonyCa is an innovative hybrid filler developed by Allergan Aesthetics, designed to address aging needs multidimensionally:

• HA (Hyaluronic Acid): Provides immediate moisture, volume, and lifting effect.
• CaHA (Calcium Hydroxyapatite): Bio-stimulating microspheres that trigger natural collagen synthesis over weeks.

This dual-action formula offers instant gratification with sustained biological improvement.

How Does HarmonyCa Work? (The Science)

The treatment works on the skin matrix in two phases:

1. Immediate Lift: The cross-linked HA particles provide an instant lift to the lateral face, improving the jawline and cheek contour immediately after injection.
2. Sustained Bio-stimulation: The CaHA microspheres form a scaffold in the dermis. This stimulates fibroblasts to produce Type 1 Collagen, resulting in firmer, tighter skin starting from week 6–8.

Benefits of HarmonyCa

• Dual Effect: Immediate lifting + Long-term structural improvement.
• Skin Quality: Significantly increases skin elasticity and firmness.
• Lateral Lifting: Effectively tightens the side of the face (cheek to jawline).
• Natural Look: Improves contours without adding excessive bulk or puffiness.
• Longevity: Results can last up to 18–24 months.

Who Is the Ideal Candidate?

HarmonyCa is excellent for individuals engaging in Medical Tourism in Istanbul who want a long-lasting, single-session treatment:

• Men and women aged 30–55 with mild-to-moderate skin laxity.
• Patients noticing sagging in the lateral face or accordion lines on the cheeks.
• Those seeking a collagen boost rather than just simple volume.
• Patients who prefer non-surgical rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

Who Should Avoid It?

• Active autoimmune diseases.
• Active skin infections or inflammation.
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Patients desiring extreme / sharp jawline projection (High G-prime fillers are better suited for this specific goal).

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does HarmonyCa cost in Istanbul?

Pricing depends on the number of syringes required for your specific facial structure. Treatment in Turkey is generally more cost-effective than in the UK/EU/USA while maintaining high medical standards. Please contact us for a personalized quote.

How many sessions are needed?

Typically, one session is sufficient for visible results. A maintenance treatment may be scheduled after 12–18 months.

When will I see results?

You will see an immediate lift from the HA component. The skin tightening and quality improvement (from CaHA) become visible after 6–8 weeks.

How long do the results last?

Clinical data suggests the effects persist for 18 to 24 months.

Is HarmonyCa safe?

Yes. It uses well-established, biocompatible ingredients (HA and CaHA) with a strong safety profile.

Can it be used for the jawline?

It is excellent for tightening the jawline skin, but not for creating a sharp, bony jawline projection alone.

Is the treatment painful?

No. The product contains Lidocaine (an anesthetic), making the injection process very comfortable.

Can I combine it with other treatments?

Absolutely. It pairs well with Botox, lip fillers, and energy-based devices for total facial rejuvenation.

Can HarmonyCa be reversed?

The HA component can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. The CaHA component metabolizes naturally over time.

Is it suitable for under-eyes?

No. Due to the calcium particles, it is not suitable for delicate areas like the tear troughs or lips.

Is post-treatment massage required?

Your doctor will perform the necessary molding immediately after injection. Routine self-massage is usually not required unless advised.
