How Do RHA Fillers Work?

RHA fillers are designed to mimic the natural hyaluronic acid found in your skin. Their unique crosslinking technology allows them to move with your facial expressions, providing a natural, dynamic result. They fill in wrinkles and folds, and add volume to areas that have lost fullness due to aging. Common treatment areas include:

• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)

• Marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth down)

• Cheeks

• Lips

• Perioral lines (lines around the mouth)

​

How Long Do RHA Filler Injections Last?

The longevity of RHA fillers varies depending on the specific product used, the area treated, and individual metabolism. Generally, you can expect results to last between 9 to 15 months. Our expert injectors will assess your needs and recommend the appropriate RHA product for optimal, long-lasting results. Just like with other injectables, the amount of product and the strength of a persons metabolism will change how long the product last.

First-Time RHA Filler Patients

We understand that trying fillers for the first time can be exciting and a little nerve-wracking. We recommend scheduling a follow-up appointment within 14 days to review your results, address any questions, and ensure you're completely satisfied. We document your treatment meticulously, allowing for seamless follow-up care, even with different injectors within our practice.

To maintain your results, repeat treatments are necessary. Regular maintenance helps to preserve the youthful appearance and prevent the reappearance of deep wrinkles and volume loss.

What Are the Potential Side Effects?

Common side effects of RHA fillers are typically mild and temporary, including:

• Swelling

• Redness

• Bruising

• Tenderness at the injection site

​

These side effects usually resolve within a few days. To minimize risks, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and applying pressure to the treated area for 24 hours. Gentle makeup can be applied after a short period.

 

Important Post-Treatment Instructions:

• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours.

• Avoid excessive sun exposure and heat (saunas, hot tubs) for 24 hours.

• Do not apply pressure or massage the treated area for 24 hours.

• Gentle sunscreen and makeup may be applied after 30 minutes.

• Avoid irritating skin care products for 24 hours.
