Resilient Hyaluronic Acid Filler
What Is RHA®?
The RHA® Collection is a family of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers designed to adapt to the dynamic movements of the face.
Unlike fillers that are primarily intended for areas with limited movement, RHA fillers are formulated to stretch and compress as you smile, speak, laugh, and make other everyday expressions.
This flexibility makes RHA especially useful for areas around the mouth, lips, cheeks, and other parts of the face that move frequently throughout the day.
Treatment can restore volume, soften wrinkles, improve facial contours, and create results that remain natural-looking both at rest and in motion.
Designed for Dynamic Movement
Natural Results From Every Angle
RHA fillers are engineered to preserve much of the natural structure of hyaluronic acid, helping the product remain flexible after it is placed beneath the skin.
The goal is to restore support and smooth lines without creating a stiff, heavy, or overly filled appearance.

How Do RHA® Fillers Work?
RHA fillers use hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin that attracts moisture and helps maintain hydration, softness, and volume.
The filler is injected beneath the skin in carefully selected areas to replace lost volume, soften wrinkles, and improve facial contours.
As the product integrates with the surrounding tissue, its resilient formulation allows it to flex along with normal facial movement.
Results are generally visible immediately, although swelling and bruising may temporarily affect the final appearance during the first several days.

Personalized Around Your Facial Movement
What to Expect at Your RHA Appointment
Your appointment begins with a discussion of your concerns, previous filler treatments, and desired outcome.
Your provider will assess your face both at rest and in motion to understand how each treatment area changes when you smile, speak, or make other expressions.
The appropriate RHA product is then placed beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula. The formulation may contain lidocaine to improve comfort during the procedure.
Results are generally visible immediately, although temporary swelling, tenderness, redness, or bruising may occur.

Simple Post-Treatment Care
RHA Filler Recovery
Recovery is usually brief, and most patients can return to regular daily activities immediately after treatment.
Your provider will give you instructions based on the formulation, amount used, and areas treated.
- Temporary swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness may occur around the injection sites.
- Avoid strenuous exercise during the initial recovery period when instructed by your provider.
- Avoid excessive heat and prolonged sun exposure for approximately 24 to 48 hours when recommended.
- Avoid pressing or massaging the treated area unless your provider specifically directs you to do so.

Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation
Can RHA Be Combined With Botox or Dysport?
Yes. RHA fillers can often be combined with Botox or Dysport as part of a broader facial rejuvenation plan.
RHA restores volume and softens folds, while neuromodulators reduce wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movement.
Your provider will recommend the appropriate order and timing for each treatment.
Personalized Product Selection
How Much Does RHA Filler Cost?
Pricing depends on the RHA formulation selected, the number of syringes needed, the areas treated, and your individual goals.
A patient addressing a small area may need less product than someone restoring volume across several areas.
Your provider will review the recommended treatment plan and pricing before the procedure begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes RHA different from other fillers?
RHA is formulated to be more resilient and flexible than many traditional fillers, allowing it to move naturally with your facial expressions. This makes it a popular choice for areas like the mouth and cheeks, where movement is constant throughout the day.
What areas is RHA best for?
RHA works especially well in dynamic areas like nasolabial folds and the lips, where a filler needs to stretch and compress with your expressions. We'll assess your specific concerns during your consultation to determine if RHA is the right match.
How long do RHA results last?
Most patients enjoy RHA results for about a year, though this can vary depending on treatment area and your body's metabolism. We'll help you plan touch-up timing to keep your results consistent.
Does RHA filler hurt?
Most patients tolerate RHA injections well, particularly since the formulation includes a numbing agent to improve comfort. We can also apply topical numbing cream beforehand if you're especially sensitive.
Are there side effects after RHA treatment?
Temporary swelling, redness, bruising, tenderness, or firmness may occur around the injection sites. These effects commonly improve within several days.
Is there downtime after RHA filler?
Most patients have little required downtime and can return to normal activities quickly. Visible swelling or bruising may last several days, so treatment should be scheduled before an important event when possible.
Can RHA be combined with Botox or Dysport?
Yes! Many patients pair RHA with Botox or Dysport for a more complete treatment plan, addressing both movement-related wrinkles and volume loss. We'll help you sequence treatments for the best results.
Can RHA filler be dissolved?
RHA is a hyaluronic acid filler and may often be adjusted or dissolved with hyaluronidase when clinically appropriate. Your provider can explain when reversal may be considered.
