Using revolutionary Resilient Hyaluronic Acid technology, we can effectively address dynamic facial concerns:
How RHA Fillers Work

Your face makes countless movements and micro-movements daily. Squinting, smiling, frowning, talking, and laughing create wrinkles and folds in areas that move repetitively. These dynamic wrinkles should be treated without creating stiffness or unnatural appearance.
RHA dermal fillers address these concerns through their unique resilience, which comes from gentle manufacturing that preserves hyaluronic acid’s natural structure. This allows the formula to stretch more easily in dynamic facial areas, resulting in natural-looking results that adapt to your skin tissues.
The fillers are injected into mid-to-deep dermis or deep dermis to superficial subcutaneous tissue to smooth facial wrinkles and folds. Because they’re very similar to your skin’s natural HA, they integrate seamlessly while providing structural support and maintaining facial vitality.
RHA 2: For Dynamic Moderate Wrinkles
Designed for moderate wrinkles on the upper face, including forehead, crow’s feet, and glabella. Also ideal for subtle lip enhancement and adding volume to lip contours while maintaining natural movement.
RHA 3: For Severe Dynamic Wrinkles
Perfect for deep wrinkles and creases like nasolabial folds and vertical lip lines. Can be used for cheek augmentation, facial shape restoration, and lip augmentation with natural flexibility.
RHA 4: For Dynamic Extended Areas
Provides volume in dynamic extended areas such as cheeks and upper cheeks to correct deep skin depressions and contour the face while maintaining natural movement and expression.
RHA Redensity: For Dynamic Perioral Lines
The first RHA filler approved for both superficial and deeper injection of dynamic perioral lines. Redensity 1 treats facial lines and areas of the face, neck, chest, and hands. Redensity 2 addresses delicate under-eye skin.
Treatment Process and Results

Our board-certified dermatologists are anti-aging experts with extensive injectable training, ensuring precise filler placement as part of your customized treatment plan.
RHA fillers contain lidocaine as a local anesthetic to reduce discomfort during treatment. Patients generally tolerate procedures well, with additional topical anesthetic available for optimal comfort.
Results are visible immediately after treatment, with gradual improvement over 2-4 weeks. Because RHA products move with your face, they take longer to break down, producing results that may last up to 15 months – longer than traditional fillers.
