RHA® INJECTABLES
RHA® fillers have already gained a great deal of popularity in other countries for their natural-looking results, and we have added it to our wide range of fillers, neurotoxins and non-surgical anti-aging treatments.
Some patients have found that the use of traditional fillers over time has given them a more harsh, lumpy or pointed appearance. RHA® can provide a more elegant and refined smoothing for those patients looking for a softer, more natural look. The RH fillers last for up to 15 months, but similar to other fillers, this timeline can vary from person to person.
Products in the RHA® Collection consists of multiple formulations that are indicated for different aesthetic concerns. Dr. Delaney will match the appropriate formulation based on the areas you desire for improvement and skin thickness. Each subtype of RHA® is stratified based on its fluid properties which is how well it keeps its structure. It’s not a stiff structure; it’s more of a gentle contour to the face.
- Perioral lines and lips: RHA Redensity for thinner skin, RHA Redensity or RHA 2 for regular to thicker skin
- Submalar wrinkles (radial cheek lines): RHA 2
- Marionette lines, mental crease, oral commisures: RHA 2 or RHA 3 for thinner skin, RHA 3 or RHA 4 for regular to thicker skin
- Nasolabial folds: RHA 2 or RHA 3 for thinner skin, RHA 3 or RHA 4 for regular to thicker skin.
Most fillers are made with hyaluronic acid which is a polysaccharide that’s naturally occurring in humans that retains moisture. These fillers, such as Restylane and Juvederm, were approved by the FDA for the treatment of static lines and wrinkles (the ones that form when your face is at rest.) The newer RHA® Collection of fillers are made up of a type of hyaluronic acid that more closely resembles what naturally occurs in the body, were approved by the FDA for the treatment of dynamic lines and wrinkles. (These wrinkles happen when you animate, like smiling, frowning or laughing)

RHA® INJECTABLES Faqs
The fillers in the RHA® Collection crosslink longer chains of HA than other fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm. Because the HA is processed during manufacturing at a lower temperature, it keeps more of its natural structure which results in a more resilient and stable consistency, thus the name Resilient Hyaluronic Acid (RHA®). RHA® formula allows Dr. Delaney to inject more superficially, which gives a smoother result.
RHA® Collection fillers are ideal for patients looking for natural, more undetectable filler results who want more subtle volume without it looking obvious that treatments have been done.
Like other traditional fillers, the length of time RHA® filler results last will vary by patient. As a general rule of thumb, RHA® filler results last up to 15 months depending on the area that is injected.
Like other dermal fillers, results are immediate with RHA® Collection of fillers.
RHA® collection of fillers is priced similarly to other hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers.
Facial Plastic Surgery Associates (FPSA) was selected as one of the first providers of the RHA® Collection because of our reputation of providing exceptional patient results and outcomes.

Teoxane Laboratories developed the RHA® dermal filler collection in Geneva, Switzerland. In the United States, Revance Therapeutics is the exclusive distributor.
For dynamic moderate wrinkles, RHA® 2 can be an alternative to Juvederm Volbella and Restylane Silk. For more severe dynamic wrinkles, RHA® 3 can be an alternative to Juvederm Vollure and Restylane L. For the deepest lines and folds, particularly those along the lower face and jawline, RHA® 4 can be an alternative to Juvederm Voluma and Restylane Lyft. From RHA® Redensity to RHA® 4, the amount of stretch decreases as the RHA® number increases.
Like any injectable, while not common, there can be side effects. The most commonly ones reported for RHA® Collection are injection-site redness, swelling, pain tenderness, firmness, bruising, discoloration and bruising.
