The RHA Collection comprises HA gels formulated to move with facial expression, aiming for natural look and feel in high‑motion areas around the mouth, lips and lower face, as well as mid‑face support when indicated.
What it treats (best suited)
- Perioral lines and lip shaping
- Nasolabial and marionette folds (selected candidates)
- Cheek support/contour with appropriate formulations
Who it’s not ideal for
- Active infection/inflammation at treatment sites
- Severe laxity or heavy descent expecting lift from filler alone (consider Sofwave/Ultherapy)
How it works
Cross‑linked HA holds water and supports tissues; RHA gels are engineered to maintain flexibility in motion. Like all HA fillers, they’re reversible with hyaluronidase if needed.
Treatment areas
- Lips and perioral detail
- Smile‑area lines/folds
- Mid‑face contour (product‑ and candidate‑dependent)
Session plan
- Often 1–2 sessions to achieve initial goals, with subtle refinements later.
- Maintenance commonly 6–12+ months depending on area/movement.
Comfort & technique
- Topical anaesthetic and/or lidocaine‑containing gels; needle vs cannula per area/plan.
Downtime & aftercare
- Temporary swelling/bruising; avoid pressure and strenuous activity for the first day as advised.
Results & longevity
- Immediate softening and shaping; best “blending” over 1–2 weeks.
Skin of colour
- Appropriate across tones; discuss bruise/PIH prevention and staged plans.
Combines well with
- Etched line smoothing: ProFractional, MOXI, LaseMD Ultra
- Structure: Stage with Sculptra or Radiesse
How it compares
- RHA is often chosen for mobile, expressive areas; firmer gels from other families may suit deep structural tasks.
Safety notes & contraindications
- As with any HA filler, rare vascular events require rapid recognition and access to hyaluronidase.
