Aging is a natural part of life, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for lines and wrinkles stealing the spotlight. Imagine a treatment that smooths your skin and moves with your expressions, keeping your face dynamic and vibrant. That’s the magic of RHA fillers — a collection of advanced dermal fillers designed to restore youthful contours while maintaining your natural beauty. Whether you’re smiling, laughing or frowning, RHA fillers work with you so that every expression looks as authentic as you feel.

What Are RHA® Fillers?

RHA fillers are a revolutionary dermal filler by Revenance Aesthetics manufactured in Switzerland and FDA approved for use in the United States designed to address facial wrinkles and lines with a natural look. Unlike traditional fillers that may feel rigid in certain areas, RHA fillers offer flexibility and are crafted to adapt to the movements of your face, keeping your expressions fluid. These fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a substance that’s already present in your skin, helping to maintain hydration and elasticity.

RHA fillers stand out because they move with the skin, making them particularly effective for treating highly expressive areas, such as around the mouth, forehead and eyes. Whether you’re looking to soften deep lines or enhance facial volume, RHA fillers provide a subtle, refreshed appearance.

How Do RHA® Fillers Work?

RHA fillers work by using a unique form of hyaluronic acid that closely mimics your skin’s natural HA production. Hyaluronic acid is essential for maintaining moisture and volume in the skin, but as you age, your body’s natural levels decrease, leading to sagging and wrinkles. The hyaluronic acid in RHA fillers is designed to be more elastic and adaptable than other fillers, allowing it to integrate seamlessly with your facial tissue. This elasticity is crucial to its effectiveness, as it moves with your facial expressions to create a smooth, youthful look even in the most dynamic areas of your face.

Once injected, the RHA filler attracts water molecules to the treated area, which helps restore lost volume and smooth out wrinkles. Over time, the filler gradually breaks down and is safely absorbed by the body.

The RHA® Filler Collection

Each RHA filler is designed to address different levels of facial wrinkles and volume loss. The RHA collection includes:

• RHA 2: RHA 2 is ideal for treating moderate to superficial wrinkles and fine lines, such as those around the mouth or nasolabial folds. It is flexible and adapts well to areas of facial movement, making it perfect for dynamic facial areas.
• RHA 3: This filler is designed for deeper wrinkles and folds, like more pronounced nasolabial folds. It provides a balance of flexibility and structural support, allowing it to target more severe lines without sacrificing natural movement.
• RHA 4: The most robust of the RHA collection, RHA 4 is used for adding volume to areas of significant facial volume loss. It’s commonly used in the cheeks and jawline to restore structure and contour while still adapting to facial movements.
• RHA Redensity: Specifically formulated to treat fine lines and more delicate areas of the face, RHA Redensity is perfect for addressing superficial wrinkles around the eyes, lips and other highly expressive regions. Its lightweight formula provides subtle enhancement while maintaining flexibility and movement, making it ideal for refining areas with minimal volume loss or softening early signs of aging without a heavy, filled look.

Who Are Good Candidates for RHA® Fillers?

Good candidates for RHA fillers are typically individuals in good overall health who want to minimize the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and volume loss. It’s important that the treatment area is free of any active skin infections or inflammatory conditions to allow for a smooth procedure. Non-smokers, or those willing to temporarily stop smoking, tend to have better outcomes, as smoking can interfere with healing. Additionally, having realistic expectations about what the treatment can achieve and being committed to following post-treatment care instructions are key qualities for promoting optimal results.

How to Prepare for RHA® Fillers

Preparing for your RHA filler treatment can help you achieve the best possible results. Here’s how to get ready:

One Week Before Treatment

• Refrain from taking blood-thinning medications and supplements: To reduce the risk of bruising, avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil and vitamin E. Consult with your healthcare provider if you’re unsure about your medications.
• Limit alcohol intake: Alcohol can increase the chances of bruising, so it’s best to cut back on drinking at least a few days before your appointment.
• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin and body well-hydrated.

One Day Before Treatment

• Avoid intense physical activity: Exercising the day before treatment can increase the chances of bruising and swelling. Take it easy and relax before your appointment.

Day of Treatment

• Arrive with clean skin: Make sure your face is free of makeup, lotions and any other products.
• Stay calm: If you’re feeling anxious, try relaxation techniques such as deep breathing to help ease any pre-treatment nerves.

What to Expect During RHA® Filler Treatment

Here’s what you can expect at your RHA filler appointment:

Preparation

Before your treatment, your expert aesthetics provider at Nouveau MedSpas will cleanse the target area and may apply a topical numbing cream to minimize any potential discomfort. They will also discuss the treatment plan, including which areas will be targeted and the amount of filler needed to achieve your goals.

Treatment

The filler injection process takes about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the amount of filler and areas being treated. Your provider will use a fine needle to carefully inject the RHA filler into the targeted areas. Because RHA fillers are designed to adapt to your natural facial movements, the injections are placed strategically in areas prone to dynamic wrinkles.

Post-Treatment Care

After the injections, your provider may gently massage the treated areas to ensure smooth distribution of the filler. You’ll be given aftercare instructions, including tips for reducing swelling and bruising.

What to Expect After RHA® Fillers

After receiving RHA fillers, most patients experience minimal discomfort and downtime, but understanding what to expect during the recovery period is essential for a smooth process.

Immediately After Treatment

• You’ll be able to return to your daily activities right after the procedure but may be advised to avoid intense exercise and direct sunlight.
• You might experience mild redness, swelling and bruising at the injection sites. These filler side effects are usually temporary and should subside within a few days.
• You may feel slight tenderness in the treated areas, but this should resolve quickly.

One to Three Days After Treatment

• Continue to avoid blood-thinning medications and alcohol to reduce the chances of prolonged bruising.
• Apply cold compresses to the treated areas to help minimize swelling.
• Keep your skin clean and avoid applying heavy makeup to the treatment areas.

One Week After Treatment

• You can resume more intense physical activities, but it’s important to protect your skin from the sun. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen and avoid excessive heat, such as saunas or hot tubs, for the first week after treatment.

What Results Can I Expect From RHA® Fillers?

With RHA fillers, you can expect natural-looking results that enhance your facial contours while reducing the appearance of wrinkles. The initial effects are visible immediately after treatment, providing an instant improvement in lines and wrinkles. However, the full results develop gradually as the filler settles and integrates with your facial tissue over the next one to two weeks.

As the filler continues to blend with your skin and facial tissues, your results will become more refined, offering subtle, natural enhancements that give you a rejuvenated appearance without looking overdone. The goal of RHA fillers is to provide a refreshed, youthful look that still appears like your natural self.

How Long Do RHA® Fillers Last?

In terms of longevity, RHA fillers typically last up to 15 months. The exact duration depends on the treatment area, the specific RHA filler used and individual factors such as your metabolism and lifestyle. However, you can generally expect long-lasting improvements that require minimal maintenance.

How Much Do RHA® Fillers Cost?

The cost of RHA fillers can vary depending on several factors, including the number of syringes used, the areas treated and the provider’s expertise. At Nouveau MedSpas, we will provide a personalized cost estimate during your consultation, ensuring you know exactly what to expect based on your specific treatment goals.
