Until recently, dermal fillers have mostly been used for the correction of static wrinkles and fine lines, not the dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions. But Revance RHA fillers can correct facial wrinkles at rest and motion!
About Resilient Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occurring gel that makes your skin look soft and supple. When you’re young, your body produces a high volume of hyaluronic acid, so your facial skin looks fuller and smoother. Hyaluronic acid can also bind 1,000x its weight in water, a feature that contributes to its ability to add suppleness to your skin. But the gradual loss of hyaluronic acid because of the aging process leads to sunken cheeks, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Traditional hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers inject a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid into the skin to reverse the signs of aging. Since the HA is synthetic and modified with other ingredients, it can only correct static wrinkles, i.e., those that don’t move with your facial expressions. However, resilient hyaluronic acid is made using a specialized manufacturing process that retains the HA’s natural characteristics, making it suitable for dynamic wrinkles.
What are RHA Fillers?
The RHA collection by Revance is the world’s first series of dermal fillers made of resilient hyaluronic acid. RHA fillers can also fill out fine lines and wrinkles, restore facial volume, and elevate your facial contours. But their utility goes further — they can also fill out dynamic wrinkles caused by expressions. RHA fillers look softer and more natural and allow you to communicate expressions easily. The RHA collection includes three fillers — RHA 2, RHA 3, and RHA 4.
Selecting the Right RHA Fillers
RHA fillers are FDA-approved for correcting moderate to deep facial creases, such as the nasolabial folds and marionette lines. The entire collection includes three fillers — RHA 2, RHA 3, and RHA 4. Each RHA filler has a unique consistency and formulation, making it suitable for different treatment areas and goals. Our medical providers will carefully examine your facial skin, discuss your goals, and recommend the appropriate RHA fillers.

Your RHA Filler Journey: Consultation, Treatment, Recovery
Your RHA filler journey starts with a thorough consultation with our medical providers. During your consultation, the medical provider will analyze your facial skin, discuss your goals and concerns, review your medical history, and identify the suitable RHA filler for your needs. The medical provider will also discuss your options and provide all the information necessary to make an educated decision.
During your RHA filler treatment, the medical provider will cleanse your facial skin and apply a numbing gel to ensure comfort. The appropriate units of the chosen RHA fillers are carefully injected into the targeted facial tissues using ultrafine needles. The number of injections depends on your specific goals. The entire treatment concludes within 30 minutes.
You can expect mild redness, swelling, tenderness, and bruising around the treatment areas for a few days. The side effects are usually mild and temporary. You can resume your daily activities and work immediately, but avoid strenuous workouts for a day or two. The medical provider will offer aftercare guidelines to ensure optimal recovery and healing.
