The RHA® Collection by Revance Aesthetics is a family of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers designed to adapt to the dynamic movement of the face while correcting facial lines, folds, and volume loss.
Different formulations within the RHA Collection have different gel characteristics, allowing us to select a product based on the area being treated, the amount of support needed, and your individual anatomy.
Loss of collagen, elasticity, and facial volume are all part of the natural aging process and can begin as early as our 20s.
Over time, these changes can result in:
Dermal fillers can be used to replace volume, enhance facial contours, and soften certain lines and folds created by these changes.
RHA stands for Resilient Hyaluronic Acid.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found within the skin that helps provide hydration and volume. The RHA Collection uses a manufacturing process designed to preserve more of the natural structure of the hyaluronic acid.
The resulting gels are designed to adapt to facial movement while providing correction in areas affected by lines, folds, and volume loss.
The face is constantly moving when we talk, smile, laugh, and make expressions.
The RHA Collection was designed specifically with these dynamic areas in mind. Its flexible gel characteristics allow the filler to move with facial expressions while maintaining correction.
This makes RHA particularly useful when the goal is to restore or enhance facial structure while maintaining a natural appearance during movement.
The RHA Collection includes several formulations with different levels of firmness, flexibility, and structural support.
RHA 2 is a softer, more flexible formulation used for dynamic facial lines and areas where subtle correction is desired.
RHA 3 provides additional support while maintaining flexibility and can be used for moderate facial lines, folds, and areas requiring more correction.
RHA 4 is the most robust of these formulations and provides greater structural support for deeper folds and areas of facial volume loss.
The appropriate product is selected according to the treatment area, tissue characteristics, degree of volume loss, and desired result.

Choosing a filler isn't simply a matter of selecting a brand.
Different areas of the face have different anatomical and mechanical requirements. A product used in an area with significant movement may need different characteristics from one being used to provide deeper structural support.
Your facial anatomy, proportions, tissue quality, movement, and aesthetic goals are evaluated before selecting both the product and injection technique.
In some cases, an RHA product may be the best choice. In others, a different dermal filler may be more appropriate.
Natural-looking filler results depend on much more than the product being injected.
Understanding facial anatomy, age-related volume changes, facial proportions, product characteristics, injection depth, and technique all influence the final result.
Our aesthetic medicine expert, Savy Guthrie, MPAS, PA-C, has over 20 years of dermatology experience and extensive experience performing cosmetic injectable treatments.
Treatment is customized to the individual with an emphasis on restoring balance rather than simply adding volume.
The RHA Collection provides several options for treating facial lines, folds, and volume loss while accommodating the natural movement of the face.
Schedule an aesthetic consultation at Kessel Dermatology to determine whether RHA 2, RHA 3, RHA 4, or another dermal filler is most appropriate for your anatomy and treatment goals.
