HArmonyCa in Medellín

HArmonyCa is intended for adults over the age of 18 who may be appropriate candidates for facial soft-tissue augmentation. 

However, age alone does not determine candidacy.

Your physician must consider your facial anatomy, skin condition, medical history, previous treatments and aesthetic objectives before recommending the procedure.

HArmonyCa is not appropriate for certain patients, including people with some allergies, active infection or inflammation in the treatment area, specific healing disorders, pregnancy or breastfeeding, among other contraindications. (Allergan Medical Institute)

HArmonyCa combines hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite.

The hyaluronic acid component contributes to an initial volumizing and lifting effect, while CaHA supports processes involved in collagen production.

This dual mechanism allows treatment to combine immediate structural support with progressive changes over time. (Allergan Aesthetics)

There is no single duration that applies to every patient.

The manufacturer's patient information states that the correction is temporary and that its degree and duration depend on factors including the area treated, tissue characteristics, injection depth, technique and the individual patient. Allergan Aesthetics

A follow-up or repeat treatment may eventually be considered when clinically appropriate.

For this reason, we would not promise a fixed duration such as 24 months for every patient.

Some structural changes may be noticeable shortly after treatment because of the hyaluronic acid component.

The effects associated with collagen stimulation develop more progressively.

The exact timing varies between patients, so results should be assessed over time rather than on the day of treatment alone.

A follow-up appointment around two weeks after treatment may be recommended to evaluate the result and discuss whether any additional correction is appropriate. (Allergan Aesthetics)

HArmonyCa contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic designed to help reduce discomfort during treatment.

Patients may still experience mild discomfort during the injection, and your medical professional can evaluate whether additional pain-management measures are appropriate. (Allergan Medical Institute)

As with other injectable facial treatments, temporary reactions may occur.

Common effects can include:

• Redness.
• Swelling.
• Bruising.
• Tenderness.
• Pain.
• Itching.
• Local inflammation.
• Temporary nodules or firmness.

Less common but potentially serious complications can occur with injectable fillers, including vascular complications. For this reason, treatment should be performed by an appropriately trained healthcare professional familiar with facial anatomy and injection techniques. (Allergan Aesthetics)

Before treatment, tell your physician about:

• Medications and supplements you use.
• Anticoagulants or medications that may increase bleeding.
• Allergies.
• Previous injectable treatments.
• Relevant medical conditions.
• Active skin infections or inflammation.
• Recent aesthetic procedures.

The official patient information also recommends avoiding makeup in the area to be treated for approximately 12 hours before and after the procedure. (Allergan Aesthetics)

Do not stop prescribed medication unless your own physician or treating medical professional specifically instructs you to do so.

Your treating physician will provide personalized recommendations according to your procedure.

Manufacturer guidance recommends avoiding strenuous activity, intense sun exposure, tanning lamps and extreme weather conditions during the first 24 hours after treatment. Cold compresses may also be recommended to help reduce temporary swelling or redness. (Allergan Medical Institute)

If you develop an unexpected reaction, worsening symptoms or symptoms that do not resolve as expected, contact your treating medical team.
