HArmonyCA: The Key Concept

The unique combination of Hyaluronic Acid and calcium hydroxyapatite injected directly beneath the skin.

The hyaluronic acid particles work deep within the skin, where they help plump it up for an immediate lift effect. Moreover, calcium hydroxyapatite particles support the body’s own collagen production, so new collagen fibres start to grow. As the gel slowly disappears over

Time, a firm and dense collagen network is built in its place for a gradual, long-lasting lift from calcium hydroxyapatite. The clinical effects of CaHA can last 1-3 years.

HArmonyCA FAQs

A new dual-effect Hybrid Injectable, combining hyaluronic acid (HA) with calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA).

HArmonyCa is injected into each side of the lower face in one 20-30 minute appointment. The filler should last for around 18-24 months before you need treatment again.

HArmonyCaTM contains 0.3% lidocaine hydrochloride, an anaesthetic, to reduce pain during treatment. But as with all treatments, pain tolerance can vary between patients.

There is minimal downtime associated with this treatment as the insertions are noticable immediately after the procedure. However, they subside quickly and will disappear completely by the following day.

HArmonyCa can be used under the skin in the deep dermal and sub-dermal

layers in certain areas of the face, and cannot be injected around the eyes,

the lips or around the mouth. During your consultation, your aesthetician will discuss your concerns and suggest which facial areas can

be treated with HArmonyCa.

During your consultation, you will be advised when it is suitable for you to resume everyday activities after treatment. Normally, you will need to wait 24 hours after your treatment with

HArmonyCa before doing high-intensity exercise or activities.

HArmonyCa may give you an immediate lift* while stimulating your body’s own collagen production. Research shows that HArmonyCa offers a lifting effect as early as the second week after injection and results have been demonstrated in 86% of 85 treated areas.

In fact, 92% of patients treated with HArmonyCa reported an improvement in the general

appearance of the facial areas that were treated.

A survey of patients treated (N=45) with HArmonyCa found that most patients were highly satisfied with their treatment (average score 4.1 out of 5) after 19 months.

HArmonyCATM may be suitable for individuals with signs of ageing, who could benefit from potential improvements in skin architecture and facial soft tissue augmentation. During the

consultation, your healthcare professional will discuss your skin concerns, explain more about HArmonyCa and determine whether you are suitable for treatment. HArmonyCa should not be used in patients below the age of 18.

As with other injectable treatments, the most common side effects after injection with HArmonyCa include redness, swelling, pain, tenderness and itching. These are often mild, and typically get better within 24–48 hours, while swelling may take up to a week to completely go away. Applying ice packs or cold compresses to the treated areas for 24 hours after treatment can help to reduce redness, swelling and irritation. It is also

possible that you may feel small bumps under the skin in the injected areas. If this happens, make sure to massage the skin in these areas. There are other, less common side effects with HArmonyCa, which will be discussed with you during your consultation.

In Preparation for HArmonyCA

There is no specific preparation for HArmonyCA treatments. However certain medications such as Aspirin or Ibuprofen are to be avoided a few days prior to treatments to prevent bruising and bleeding. Avoiding alcohol at least 24 hours prior to treatment is also recommended to minimise interference with blood clotting, therefore prevent bruising.

After HArmonyCA

Avoid touching the treatment area after the procedure for at least 6 hours. After that the area can be washed with gentle cleansers. Immediate make-up application should be avoided for 24 hours, mineral based make-up is recommended where necessary. Until the initial redness and swelling have resolved, do not expose the treated area to intense heat (e.g. solarium or sunbathing) or extreme cold. Avoid strenuous exercise and swimming for 24 hours to avoid a risk of infection. Alcohol consumption is not recommended for at least 24 hours after treatment. Please always wear SPF 50 sunscreen and discuss any further cosmetic procedures with your practitioner.

I had the pleasure of happening accross The Skin Lab recently and subsequently having treatments there. I am extremely impressed by the services offered and professionalism of the staff. Having always cared for my skin and had regular facials, I was astounded by the difference after even one facial.. my skin is exceptional since and the compliments are flowing! I would recommend without hesitation

Michael O'Sullivan

Highly recommend the Skin Lab. My skin is glowing! I always get great recommendations on what products I need. The girls are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about their work. They just recommend what I need and never over sell.

Brenda Carmody

I cannot recommend The Skin Lab enough...I had the resurfacing laser treatment and I am thrilled with the results. I found Claire to be so professional and experienced in her field of expertise....the girl has healing hands people!!! She also recommended some homecare products which were extremely effective in treating my particular skin concern. Couldn't be happier, I would highly recommend a visit. Thanks again The Skin Lab.

Ciara Murphy

Lovely staff members at the reputable skin lab in Kerry, makes you feel very comfortable from start to finish and are very helpful and knowledgeable about the treatment they provide. All areas are very clean and tidy.

Moira Godley

While working with Claire I found that she showed great professionalism and was able to carry out treatment with diligence. She also knew exactly what products I should use to go with her treatment in order to clear up my acne (and was very open to questions with regards to those products) which had noticeably cleared within a few weeks after treatment and use of the products she recommended.

James Carmody

Super recommend it! ... Claire is really kind and an excellent professional! The place is comfortable and they have a specific treatments for you. By the way, the product that they have in there, are amazing!

Débora Estevão

My skin is glowing since I started visiting the Skin Lab and using all recommended products.

Denise Uí Bheaglaoi

I have been going to Claire since she opened 3 years ago for my skin. She is always so welcoming, friendly and beyond professional. There is nothing that Claire doesn't know when it comes to skin. I wouldn't trust any one or any where else with my skin. Highly recommend The Skin Lab, Claire and Shauna to anyone who wants to invest in their skin.

Sarah

Had a skin consultation with Claire last week and found it extremely helpful. She set out a clear skin routine for me and was very reasonable when it came to choosing products. Claire was very efficient and organised and had my products sent out to me within an hour of the consultation. I would highly recommend the skin lab to people.

Roisin Begley

I highly recommend the Skin Lab! During my consultation, Claire explained to me very clearly what was going on with my skin, and importantly how I could remedy. Within one month of following her instructions my skin transformed, and it really has never looked (or felt) better. Claire is an expert and I really trust her advice and care!

Sophie Daly

If there were 6 stars The Skin Lab would get it.
I had been going to Claire for 10 months pre lockdown and my skin hadn't looked so good since my early 20s. I really didn't want to let all of our hard work in clinic go to waste so Claire has been working with me prescribing the most effective at home skin peels. They really are the nearest thing you will get to treatment in the clinic. I really can't wait for the clinic to open up again and hope up on that bed! If you are looking for a results-driven friendly & professional clinic then I highly recommend The Skin Lab.

Sue-Ellen Carroll

I've been going to The Skin Lab for 3 years having suffered with Adult Acne for 8 years. I've been to many Aestheticians and Dermatologists but none have come close to The Skin Lab. The level of knowledge both Claire and Shauna have is unbelievable and they genuinely want you to see results so they will not let you buy or try a treatment they know won't work for your issue. I can't recommend them highly enough.
