RHA Filler

Frequently Asked Questions About RHA® Fillers

What are RHA® fillers, and how do they differ from traditional fillers?

FDA-approved RHA® fillers utilize Resilient Hyaluronic Acid technology, designed to mimic the natural hyaluronic acid found in the skin. RHA® fillers adapt to the dynamic facial movements of individuals, resulting in a look that appears beautiful at rest and flawless in motion. Unlike traditional fillers, RHA® fillers are more flexible and better able to adapt to facial movements, providing natural-looking results.

How long do the results of RHA® fillers typically last?

The longevity of RHA® fillers varies depending on individual metabolism, lifestyle factors, and the specific product used. Generally, results can last up to 15 months before a touch-up treatment is recommended to maintain optimal results.

With proper care, you can enjoy the results of your treatment for up to 15 months.

Are RHA® fillers safe for all skin types?

RHA® fillers are considered safe for various skin types, but consulting a healthcare provider to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the treatment is vital. Individuals with a history of severe allergies, certain medical conditions, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding may not be eligible for RHA® fillers.

Developed by TEOXANE Laboratories in Switzerland, RHA® has been popular in Europe for several years but has only recently been approved for use in the USA. When administered by a knowledgeable and experienced healthcare professional, RHA® is a safe choice. Because HA is a naturally occurring substance in the body, most patients tolerate it well, making it a popular choice among dermal fillers.

What areas of the face can be treated with RHA® fillers?

Versatile RHA® fillers address various areas of the face, including nasolabial folds, marionette lines, lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, and under-eye hollows. They are particularly effective in treating dynamic wrinkles like crow’s feet and forehead lines.

Is there any downtime associated with RHA® filler treatments?

There is typically minimal downtime associated with RHA® filler treatments. Patients may experience temporary swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but these effects usually subside within a few days. Most individuals can resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure.

Am I a Good Candidate for an RHA® Filler?

Good candidates for RHA® include individuals seeking to address the signs of aging, volume loss, and dynamic wrinkles in the face, who desire natural-looking results that move with their facial expressions. RHA® candidates should also be in good overall health.

Furthermore, good candidates will understand that RHA® is not a cosmetic procedure designed to leave pronounced or exaggerated effects. It is intended to be subtle—almost unnoticeable, even to close friends—except for reducing dynamic wrinkles.

This relatively quick procedure usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the extent of treatment. Because we prioritize patient safety and comfort, we offer a topical anesthetic to minimize any discomfort.

What Should I Expect After an RHA® Dermal Filler Procedure?

After your treatment, we will give you detailed care instructions to help you achieve the best possible results.
