Understanding RHA® Fillers

RHA Collection. Discover the Designer Difference.

Resilient Hyaluronic Acid (RHA^®) Fillers are a breakthrough in the world of injectables. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Revance scientists formulated the filler to adapt to your facial movements. They are ideal for areas with dynamic wrinkles. They truly deliver in areas around the mouth and eyes, where expressions naturally occur. They are the only dermal filler approved by the FDA for the treatment of dynamic wrinkles.

The primary ingredient of RHA^® fillers is hyaluronic acid. This is a substance that naturally occurs in the skin and helps keep its hydration and suppleness. What sets RHA® fillers apart is their advanced manufacturing process. This technology preserves the hyaluronic acid chains in a way that allows them to flex and mirror the natural movement of your face.

The Treatment Process

Consultation: The journey begins with a consultation with Dr. Gallus and her team. They will assess your unique facial anatomy and discuss your goals. Together you can decide if RHA^® fillers are suitable for you.

Injection: During the procedure, the RHA® filler is gently injected into the targeted areas using fine needles. Your comfort is enhanced with topical numbing medication and ice. The RHA^® fillers have lidocaine which also increases patient comfort.

Results: You may notice an immediate improvement in your appearance, with the best results becoming clearer as swelling subsides.

Follow-Up: Depending on the type of RHA^® filler used, results can last from 9 months to over a year. Periodic touch-up treatments can help support your youthful appearance.
