The whole procedure should only take around 45-60 minutes at our Suffolk clinic, this includes plenty of time for topical anaesthetic to be applied to reduce any discomfort. You’ll know what to expect before the treatment is administered as you’ll have had a face-to-face consultation with us beforehand. We will have discussed your suitability, exactly how a HArmonyCa™ procedure works, and what it involves.
For optimum results, we recommend having treatment to the area of concern, every 6-9 months.
To be on the safe side, you can give yourself 24 hours afterwards to recover. However, realistically, apart from a little bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site, we don’t expect you to have any side effects, or need any downtime.
You should notice the first visible effects of your HArmonyCA™ approximately 2-3 weeks after the treatment. Your new look should last for 6-9 months before re-treatment is necessary to maintain your new look.
When the HArmonyCA™ is administered using a cannula to ensure there is minimal discomfort during the treatment. The products itself also contains Lidocaine, a mild local anaesthetic. The treatment will then be administered into the targeted area, you’ll have discussed with the practitioner beforehand.
Having been approved by the FDA for cosmetic procedures many years ago, HArmonyCA™ is considered to be a very low risk treatment. It has a very good safety record. Bruising and swelling are the most commonly reported side-effect.
You’ll be given aftercare tips on the day to reduce swelling and bruising. Please avoid the application of make-up for 12 hours after treatment. Also avoid rubbing or massaging your face for 6 hours after treatment. Additionally avoid extreme heat and rigorous exercise for up to 48 hours afterwards. Treatments such as laser, micro needling or peels should be avoided 2-4 weeks post treatment.
