RHA COLLECTION

Discover the Latest Innovation in Dermal Fillers: RHA Collection for Dynamic Wrinkles and Folds

Are you looking for a dermal filler that enhances your natural beauty while offering long-lasting, flexible results? Introducing RHA Fillers, the next generation of hyaluronic acid-based treatments designed to adapt to the dynamic movements of your face. Whether you want to soften fine lines, restore volume, or contour facial features, RHA fillers offer a smooth and natural solution.

What Are RHA Fillers?

RHA (Resilient Hyaluronic Acid) fillers are advanced, FDA-approved dermal fillers developed specifically for dynamic facial wrinkles and folds. Unlike traditional fillers, RHA fillers are designed to move naturally with your facial expressions, providing a refined, youthful look without compromising facial flexibility.

Key Benefits of RHA Fillers:

  • Natural Appearance: Made with a highly purified form of hyaluronic acid, RHA fillers seamlessly integrate into your skin to create smooth, soft, and natural results.

  • Long-Lasting Effects: With results that can last up to 15 months, RHA fillers provide a long-term solution to facial aging and volume loss.

  • Tailored for Dynamic Areas: Perfect for areas of the face that move frequently, such as around the mouth, eyes, and forehead.

  • Minimally Invasive: A quick, non-surgical procedure with minimal downtime, making it easy to fit into your busy lifestyle.

Why Choose RHA Fillers?

Unlike traditional fillers, RHA fillers are formulated with a unique manufacturing process that allows the hyaluronic acid to remain resilient and flexible. This means your skin looks and feels more natural even when you smile, frown, or make other facial movements.

  • FDA-Approved for Dynamic Wrinkles: The first hyaluronic acid filler specifically approved for use in treating dynamic facial wrinkles and folds.

  • Exceptional Hydration: Hyaluronic acid naturally attracts and retains moisture, helping to hydrate your skin from within and maintain a youthful glow.

  • Customizable Treatments: With different formulations available (RHA 2, RHA 3, and RHA 4), we can customize your treatment based on your unique skin concerns and aesthetic goals.

RHA Fillers for All Skin Types

Whether you're looking to address fine lines, moderate wrinkles, or deep folds, RHA fillers offer a versatile solution for various skin types and concerns. From smoothing crow’s feet to softening nasolabial folds, these fillers provide a tailored treatment that enhances your natural beauty at any age.


Restylane® Injectable Gel

U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved Restylane® injectable gel is a cosmetic "filler" that contains hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance that is found in the body. HA gives volume and elasticity to the skin, but as the body ages, HA levels decrease, resulting in loose skin and wrinkling. When injected, Restylane gel is designed to plump the skin beneath lines and wrinkles, smoothing them out and making them less noticeable.

TREATMENT AREAS:

The most common areas for Restylane treatment are the glabellar lines (which run between the eyebrows) and the nasolabial folds (which run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth). Restylane injectable gel is also FDA-approved, for those 21 and older, for enhancing the lips. According to manufacturer Medicis, results can last for up to 6 months, at which point the hyaluronic acid is reabsorbed by the body.

Benefits

When injected, Restylane gel plumps up glabellar lines and nasolabial folds, making skin appear younger and look smoother. When used for lip enhancement, it makes the lips fuller and gives them more definition.

Advantages

One significant advantage that Restylane injectable gel has over other facial fillers made with hyaluronic acid is that it contains nothing of animal origin. As a result, it does not require a potential user to undergo allergy testing, which can sometimes take weeks. Another advantage is that Restylane injections are performed in-office, usually by a dermatologist, in less than half an hour, and require little-to-no downtime for the patient.

Side Effects

The most common side effects of Restylane injectable gel are swelling, redness, pain, bruising and tenderness in and around the injection sites. They typically go away within a week. Although considered safe for most patients, Restylane injections carry a risk of infection, bleeding or allergic reaction.


Restylane® Kysse

Restalyne Kysse is the first-ever hylaronic acid (HA) lip filler with XpresHAn Technology for natural-looking volume and softness. It’s a flexible anbd supportive formulation that has the ability to integrate with your tissue, which improves lip texture and becomes one with your lips. Results can last up to 1 year.

Treatment Areas:

This product is meant for lips and other soft, delicate areas of the face.


BELOTERO BALANCE®

BELOTERO BALANCE® injectable gel is a hylaronic acid (HA) filler that helps smooth moderate-to-severe etched-in wrinkles for a natural, finished look.

Treatment Areas:

This product specifically treats the highly visible areas around the mouth, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines around the mouth), as well as more delicate areas such as vertical lip lines (thin lines that appear above the lip line).


RADIESSE® Volumizing Filler

RADIESSE® volumizing filler is a synthetic injectable filler that is composed of microspheres in a water-based gel; the microspheres are made of a substance called calcium hydroxylapatite, which stimulates the production of collagen. This product is been FDA-approved for reducing moderate-to-severe wrinkles, folds and creases around the nose and mouth by augmenting the skin's natural collagen supply. It is a safe, effective and long-lasting alternative to injectable collagen and other dermal fillers for smoothing wrinkles and adding facial volume and contour.

Treatment Areas:

RADIESSE volumizing filler can be used on various areas of the face and body. In addition to correcting scars that leave depressions, it is effective in improving the look of the following:

  • Nasolabial folds (run from corners of nose to corners of mouth)

  • Marionette lines (run downward from corners of mouth)
    Downturned corners of the mouth

  • Jowl pre-sagging

  • Chin wrinkles

RADIESSE filler has also been approved by the FDA to restore and correct the signs of lipoatrophy (loss of fat beneath the skin) in patients with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

General Procedure

Before a patient is given RADIESSE filler, the treatment area is cleaned. RADIESSE injections are then made with a fine needle, and typically take only 15 minutes to perform. There is little-to-no downtime; many patients return to their normal activities right away. RADIESSE volumizing filler is also FDA-approved for mixing with the anesthetic lidocaine, which makes the injections less painful. Typically, only 1 or 2 treatments are needed to achieve the full benefits of RADIESSE volumizing filler.

Results

Results are visible immediately after injection, and sometimes last up to a year. Because results are temporary, treatments must be repeated to sustain them. Touch-up treatments may prolong the effects of RADIESSE filler.

Side Effects

Side effects of RADIESSE filler are usually not serious, and go away on their own. They occur at the injection site, and include the following:

  • Mild irritation

  • Swelling

  • Itching

  • Redness

  • Bruising

  • Tenderness

Allergy testing is not necessary before treatment because the calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres in RADIESSE filler are similar to minerals that occur naturally in the body.


Sculptra® Aesthetic Facial Injectable

Sculptra's main component is an alpha hydroxy acid called poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which is a safe and long-lasting synthetic (artificially created), biocompatible (can be used harmlessly in the body), biodegradable (able to be broken down by the body) substance. PLLA has been used for more than 20 years in many surgical products, including dissolvable sutures and soft-tissue implants.

TREATMENT AREAS:

Sculptra® Aesthetic injectable is used to reverse the signs of facial fat loss that occur with aging. By restoring collagen, which decreases as the body ages, it fills out shallow-to-deep wrinkles and folds that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds). It is not appropriate for use in the eye and lip areas.

Benefits

U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved for the treatment of nasolabial folds, Sculptra Aesthetic is considered safe and effective for most patients. Because it works gradually, patients achieve a more youthful, natural-looking appearance with subtle, yet noticeable, results. Although not FDA-approved to treat them, according to manufacturer Valeant Aesthetics, Sculptra Aesthetic can be used on marionette lines (at the corners of the mouth) and chin wrinkles. Because it contains no animal, human or bacterial components, allergy testing is not necessary prior to treatment. There is little-to-no downtime after receiving Sculptra injections; most patients return to their normal activities immediately.

Treatment and Results

Sculptra Aesthetic injections are designed to be a one-time treatment. A patient can have up to 4 injection sessions, which are spread 3 weeks apart. When injected into shallow-to-deep folds and lines, the additional collagen that is produced smooths them out, and adds volume to the skin. Results of Sculptra injections vary but, in a clinical study, their effects were shown to last for up to 2 years in most patients.

Side Effects

Possible side effects of Sculptra injections include localized bleeding, tenderness, discomfort, redness, bruising and swelling. Side effects usually fade within a few days, although can last longer. According to Valeant Aesthetics, "Other side effects may include small lumps under the skin that are sometimes noticeable when pressing on the treated area. Larger lumps, some with delayed onset with or without inflammation or skin discoloration, have also been reported."
