An incipient tear duct , you can improve more successfully by first treating the temples with a collagen stimulating injectable. If the client is younger and has a full firm skin, the end result of 1 treatment is often already great and is the tear duct treatment unnecessary.
The filling does decrease over time, with Sculptra only after 2.5 years, with Radiesse often after one year, but the obtained skin improvement remains. That is an advantage.
Of course other areas than the face can also be treated with this combination of hyaluronic acid filler and collagen stimulating injectables. Think of neck, cleavage, hands, inner arms and legs, knees and sagging abdominal skin.
Allergan Aesthetics launches new Hybrid injectable filler
Recently there is a new filler on the market from Allergan that combines hyaluronic acid and collagen stimulation, namely HArmoniCA. Of course I was curious about this and on Saturday 21 May 2022 I attended this launch together with my colleague cosmetic doctors KNMG. HArmonyCa* with lidocaine (anaesthetic) is intended to improve the quality of the skin on the one hand and to combat the signs of ageing on the other. This places the product in the category of hybrid injectable fillers. A treatment with HArmoniCA can alleviate these signs of ageing on the face in a multidimensional way thanks to the two active ingredients it contains: hyaluronic acid (HA), for an immediate lifting effect, and calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA), a substance that is able to stimulate the production of collagen.
Curious about the possibilities? We offer the HArmoniCA filler treatment at all our locations and by all cosmetic doctors.
