HArmonyCa Is New to Canada. Where You Get It Matters.
HArmonyCa is not a treatment that’s been around for decades. It launched globally in 2022. It is only now reaching select clinics in Canada and Lucere Dermatology & Laser Clinic is among the first. With a new, sophisticated treatment comes a simple truth: the product is only as good as the hands holding the syringe. Here is why Lucere is the right place to experience HArmonyCa in Edmonton.
Why Being First Matters And What It Says About a Clinic
When a new treatment becomes available in a market, not every clinic gains access at the same time. Allergan’s global rollout of HArmonyCa — from its launch at the Anti-Aging Medicine World Congress in Monaco through its expansion to select international markets — has been deliberate. Clinics that gain early access do so because of their standing as centres of clinical excellence, their volume and expertise, and their established relationship with the brand.
Lucere Dermatology gaining access to HArmonyCa among the first clinics in Canada is not a coincidence. It reflects where this clinic stands in the Edmonton market and beyond, which is a direct result of Dr. Zaki Taher’s credentials, training, and international profile in aesthetic medicine.
The Credential That Changes the Conversation
There is one fact about Lucere’s founder that no other Edmonton clinic can match: Dr. Zaki Taher is one of only seven physicians in Canada selected to teach master injection techniques using the MD Codes Approach nationally.
The MD Codes program is not a marketing credential. It is an advanced injectable training system built on a structural understanding of facial anatomy: how different zones of the face age, how product placement in one area affects outcomes in adjacent areas, and how to design a result that looks genuinely natural rather than artificially volumized. It is the same anatomical precision framework that makes HArmonyCa treatment particularly demanding and particularly rewarding in the right hands.
When you receive HArmonyCa at Lucere, you are not receiving it from an injector who recently attended a product training day. You are receiving it from one of the most credentialed injectors in the country, treating you from a foundation of thousands of procedures and a level of anatomical understanding that is genuinely rare.
5,000+ Injectable Treatments Per Year: Volume Is a Form of Expertise
There is a reason surgeons’ outcomes improve with volume. The same is true for injectable treatments. Recognizing subtle anatomical variation, anticipating how a product will behave in different tissue types, understanding when to inject more conservatively — these are skills that develop through repetition. Specifically, through thousands of repetitions.
The Lucere team administers over 5,000 injectable treatments per year across both Edmonton locations. At that volume, the team has seen essentially every facial anatomy, every concern, every variation in tissue quality. Your face is not a problem to solve. It is a familiar landscape and the injectors at Lucere know how to navigate it.
Board-Certified Dermatology: The Medical Foundation
HArmonyCa is not a treatment that belongs in generalist hands. The CaHA component is not reversible. Placement errors are not easily corrected. Understanding the vasculature of the mid and lower face — and the risks associated with injecting near blood vessels — requires medical training that goes beyond a weekend aesthetics certificate.
Dr. Zaki Taher is a Board-Certified Dermatologist. His residency at the University of Alberta and his Laser Surgery & Cosmetic Dermatology Fellowship at the University of Ottawa gave him a foundation that is genuinely medical: not just technique, but anatomy, physiology, and the ability to recognize and manage complications that purely aesthetic practitioners may not be equipped to handle.
When you’re choosing an injector for a treatment with a non-reversible component, this distinction is not academic. It is consequential.
What Lucere Patients Experience
Lucere is a clinic where patients come back. Not because of loyalty cards or promotions, but because the results speak for themselves. Dr. Taher’s approach to injectables is built on the philosophy behind the clinic’s tagline: Look Good, Not Done. Results that are real, visible, and natural. The kind of improvement that makes people ask if you’ve been on a particularly good holiday.
HArmonyCa aligns with this philosophy completely. Its dual-action mechanism delivers results that evolve naturally over time, improving character rather than simply fading. The lift on day one matures into structural improvement that looks like your skin working better, not a face that has been altered.
Two Edmonton Locations. One Standard of Care.
Whether you visit Lucere at Edmonton South or Downtown, you are accessing the same calibre of expertise. Both locations offer complimentary consultations and are bookable online or by phone. If you have been considering injectables, or if you’ve done filler before and want to understand what HArmonyCa could add, this is a conversation worth having.
The consultations are genuinely consultative. No pressure, no predetermined treatment plan, no assumptions about what you should do. Dr. Taher and the Lucere team are here to have an honest conversation about what’s possible for your face. The rest follows from that.
Frequently Asked Questions: Choosing the Right Clinic
Do I need a referral to see Dr. Taher for HArmonyCa?
No referral is required. Lucere offers complimentary consultations for all prospective patients. You can book directly at lucereskin.com or by calling 780-461-1188.
What should I expect at my HArmonyCa consultation?
During your consultation, Dr. Taher will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals, and explain whether HArmonyCa is the right treatment or whether a combination approach would serve you better. You will leave with a clear understanding of the recommended plan, expected results, and any relevant considerations for your specific situation.
How many treatments will I need?
Many patients achieve their goal with a single HArmonyCa session. A follow-up treatment at six months can extend and deepen results. Your treatment plan will be individualized to your anatomy and goals during your consultation.
Is there anything I should do to prepare for treatment?
Your Lucere care team will provide specific pre-treatment guidance at your consultation. General recommendations typically include avoiding blood-thinning medications and supplements in the days before treatment, and coming in with clean, makeup-free skin on the day of your appointment. Specific guidance will be tailored to your health history and treatment plan.
