HarmonyCa is a so-called hybrid filler: It combines cross-linked hyaluronic acid with calcium hydroxylapatite—a filling and a collagen-stimulating material in one syringe. The result is two-stage: The hyaluronic acid component works immediately, while the second component stimulates the body's own collagen production over several weeks.
What distinguishes HarmonyCa from other preparations
Traditional fillers provide volume that the body slowly breaks down again. Pure biostimulants such as Radiesse Initially, these treatments produce little visible result and only work through collagen regeneration. HarmonyCa combines both approaches—the waiting time for visible results is eliminated, yet the structural effect is still achieved.
The active ingredient consists of approximately half calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres and half cross-linked hyaluronic acid; a local anesthetic makes the treatment more comfortable.
For which areas is it suitable?
- Midface and cheeks — Volume loss and sagging contours
- Jawline and jaw angle — Definition of the mandibular line
- area in front of the corners of the mouth, where the contour sinks in over the years
- back of hand — an area that is often forgotten in aesthetics
- Moderate to pronounced wrinkles and wrinkle valleys in the middle and lower third of the face
HarmonyCa is not suitable for lips and tear troughs. This product is expressly not intended for these areas — I work with soft hyaluronic acid products there.
The process
- Analysis. I will look at your face both calmly and in motion and decide whether a hybrid preparation is even the right remedy here.
- enlightenment Information on effects, limitations, risks and alternatives, written consent.
- Treatment Using a needle or blunt cannula, depending on the area, deep under the skin or directly at the bone. Duration approximately 30 minutes.
- Check-up after about two weeks — then the material has settled.
Time course
The immediate effect is visible on the day of treatment. The material settles over the first two to three weeks; then, collagen regeneration begins, building up over approximately three months. The microspheres themselves are broken down over several months—the newly formed collagen remains beyond that. Overall, the results are expected to last twelve to eighteen months.
Risks and side effects
- Swelling, redness, tenderness and bruising in the first few days
- Palpable nodules — rare, but possible; the risk decreases with correct injection depth and volume.
- Asymmetries — when in doubt, I treat more cautiously and adjust after three months.
- Rare, but serious: vascular occlusions. It's important to know that in an emergency, only the hyaluronic acid component can be dissolved with hyaluronidase — which is precisely why I use hybrid preparations more sparingly than pure hyaluronic acid.
Aftercare — what to keep in mind
- No sports, sauna, or tanning beds on the day of treatment.
- Do not massage the treated areas for the first few hours.
- Avoid direct heat and strong sunlight for 24 hours.
- Plan at least two weeks between important appointments.

When I advise against it
If you want a result that can be completely reversed at any time, then pure hyaluronic acid is the more honest choice. This is also true if there is already a lot of filler in the face and the contours have become uneven. And if you're dealing with lips or tear troughs: this product is not designed for those purposes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between HarmonyCa and Radiesse?
Radiesse It consists exclusively of calcium hydroxylapatite and works primarily by stimulating collagen production. HarmonyCa combines this active ingredient with cross-linked hyaluronic acid—this means results are visible on the day of treatment, while the collagen-stimulating component continues to have an effect for weeks. Which product is more suitable depends on the area being treated and the desired timeframe.
Is HarmonyCa a filler or a biostimulator?
Both – that's why it's called a hybrid. The hyaluronic acid component provides immediate filling and support, while the calcium hydroxylapatite component stimulates the body's own collagen production over several weeks. More on the mechanism of action of pure Biostimulators You can find it on their own website.
Can HarmonyCa be dissolved?
Only partially—and that needs to be said honestly. The hyaluronic acid component is soluble with the enzyme hyaluronidase, which is crucial in an emergency. The calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres are not soluble; they are broken down by the body itself over several months. Anyone wanting complete control is better off with pure [unclear - possibly "hyaluronic acid"]. Hyaluronic acid better advised.
How long will the result last?
Study data indicate a duration of at least twelve months, often up to eighteen months. How long it lasts for you depends on the area treated, the amount injected, the injection depth, and your metabolism.
Can it also be used to treat lips or tear troughs?
No. HarmonyCa is explicitly not intended for use on lips and tear troughs — there is insufficient data on tolerability and effectiveness for these areas. I use soft products there. Hyaluronic acid preparations or treat the Tear trough separately.
When will we see the final result?
The immediate effect is visible on the day of treatment. The material settles over the first two to three weeks, after which collagen regeneration begins—the final result develops over approximately three months. Therefore, we will discuss any adjustments no sooner than three months later.
