RHA (Resilient Hyaluronic Acid) fillers are cutting-edge dermal fillers that treat dynamic wrinkles and folds caused by facial movement. Unlike traditional fillers, RHA fillers adapt to facial expressions, offering natural-looking results that last even in areas with high mobility, such as around the mouth and eyes. At Art of Skin Dermatology, Tania Cohen, DMSC, PA-C, offers RHA fillers for patients seeking a non-surgical solution to smooth lines, enhance volume, and maintain a refreshed youthful appearance.
RHA fillers are ideal for those looking to soften dynamic wrinkles, such as laugh lines (nasolabial folds), marionette lines, and crow’s feet, without compromising the natural movement of the face. With a unique formulation that mimics the natural hyaluronic acid found in the skin, RHA fillers provide subtle, flexible results that respond well to facial expressions.
Before your treatment, a personalized consultation is conducted to assess your aesthetic goals and facial anatomy. It ensures a tailored treatment plan that provides the best possible outcome.
HOW DO RHA FILLERS WORK?
RHA fillers replenish the skin’s hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that maintains hydration and elasticity. As we age, the body produces less hyaluronic acid, leading to volume loss and the formation of wrinkles. RHA fillers are designed to restore volume and smooth dynamic lines in areas of high facial movement, providing long-lasting and natural-looking results.
What sets RHA fillers apart is their resilience and flexibility. The RHA formula is engineered to adapt to facial expressions, allowing the filler to move with your skin rather than remain static. This means that even in areas where facial movement is frequent—such as when smiling, laughing, or frowning—the results look smooth and natural.
RHA fillers come in different formulations to address various concerns, from deeper folds and wrinkles to subtle volume enhancement. Each product in the RHA collection is specifically designed for other areas of the face, ensuring a customized approach to achieving youthful, refreshed skin.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING AN RHA FILLER TREATMENT SESSION?
A typical RHA filler treatment begins with a consultation to discuss your goals and identify areas of your face that would benefit from treatment. Your provider will recommend the appropriate RHA filler based on the severity of your wrinkles, the areas of concern, and the desired outcome.
It may be necessary to apply a topical numbing cream before the injections in order to ensure that the procedure is as painless as possible. Injections of RHA filler are performed with fine needles or cannulas. In order to achieve the best results, your provider will carefully place the filler to smooth wrinkles, restore volume, or contour the face. Depending on the treatment area, the entire session typically takes 30 to 60 minutes.
Since RHA fillers are a non-surgical treatment, most people are able to resume their normal activities right after the session. The treatment is quick and convenient, so people seeking immediate results don’t have to worry about interruption to their daily routine.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER AN RHA FILLER TREATMENT?
After an RHA filler treatment, some mild swelling may occur at the injection sites, along with redness and bruising. These side effects are typically minimal and should resolve within a few days. Cold compresses can help reduce swelling, and your doctor will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible results.
One of the benefits of RHA fillers is that results are visible immediately after treatment, with wrinkles appearing softer and areas of volume loss restored. Over the following days, the filler will continue to settle, and the final results will become more apparent.
RHA fillers are designed to provide long-lasting results, with most patients enjoying their effects for up to 12 to 15 months. There are, however, factors that may affect results, including skin type, lifestyle, and the area treated. Maintaining your results may require follow-up treatments over time, and your provider will create a personalized maintenance plan based on your goals.
