What Are RHA Fillers?
The RHA Collection is the only FDA-approved filler designed to treat dynamic wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds and perioral creases. Unlike other dermal fillers, RHA fillers are specially formulated to adapt to your facial movements, giving you a natural look while you express yourself. The RHA Collection of dermal fillers includes:
RHA Redensity™
RHA Redensity™ is the latest addition to the RHA Collection, specifically designed for delicate areas around the eyes and the fine lines around the lips known as lipstick lines. It offers subtle enhancement, improving the skin’s natural structure and resilience.
RHA 2 and RHA 3
RHA 2 and RHA 3 are ideal for treating moderate dynamic wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds. RHA 2 provides a softer correction for fine lines, while RHA 3 is formulated for deeper dynamic creases that appear with facial movements.
RHA 4
RHA 4 is the most robust in the collection and is perfect for treating nasolabial folds and volume loss in areas like the cheeks.1 This filler helps create a more dramatic enhancement, offering a smooth yet natural structure in the treatment area.

Patients in Houston seek out RHA fillers for their ability to:
- Maintain facial expressions while smoothing dynamic wrinkles
- Offer natural-looking results through advanced resilient hyaluronic acid formulations

Preparing for RHA Filler Injections
Before your RHA filler treatment, we’ll conduct a consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals and develop a customized treatment plan. Be sure to avoid alcohol, aspirin, and certain supplements to reduce the risk of side effects like bruising.
The RHA Filler Treatment
The treatment involves injecting the RHA fillers into the targeted areas of the face using an ultra-fine needle or cannula. The injections contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to ensure your comfort during the procedure. We can also provide a topical numbing agent to further reduce any pain. The process typically takes 30 minutes to an hour, and you can return to most activities the same day.
Recover After RHA Fillers
One of the major benefits of the RHA Collection is the minimal downtime associated with the treatment. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately following filler treatments, though you may experience mild swelling or redness at the injection sites. These side effects typically subside within a few days, revealing a refreshed, natural look.
