At Kessel Dermatology, servicing the Hamilton Square, Trenton, and Mercer County areas in New Jersey, we offer a number of dermal filler options , including RHA Redensity®.
RHA® Redensity™ is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler within the RHA Collection, designed specifically for the correction of moderate to severe dynamic perioral lines—the fine lines that develop around the mouth.
Its lightweight, flexible formulation makes it particularly useful in areas where the skin is thin and natural movement is important.
RHA stands for Resilient Hyaluronic Acid.
The RHA Collection is manufactured using a gentle process designed to preserve more of the natural structure of hyaluronic acid while minimizing chemical modification.
Redensity is the lightest and most flexible filler within the RHA Collection and is designed to integrate into the tissue while adapting to facial movement.
RHA Redensity is FDA approved for the correction of moderate to severe dynamic perioral lines in adults.
These include the fine vertical lines that can develop around the mouth as a result of aging, loss of collagen and elasticity, and years of repetitive facial movement.
Because of its lightweight characteristics, Redensity allows these delicate lines to be softened without adding unnecessary bulk to the area.
The mouth is one of the most dynamic areas of the face.
We constantly move the surrounding muscles when we talk, smile, eat, drink, and make facial expressions. At the same time, the skin around the lips is relatively thin.
As collagen, elasticity, and support diminish with age, repetitive movement can contribute to increasingly visible vertical lines around the mouth.
Treating this area requires balancing correction with flexibility so the result continues to look natural when the face moves.
Not every hyaluronic acid filler has the same characteristics.
Some fillers are designed to provide significant volume or structural support. Redensity is designed for a very different purpose.
Its soft, flexible characteristics allow it to be placed where subtle correction rather than volume is desired.
This is why product selection matters. A filler that works beautifully for a cheek, chin, or jawline may not be appropriate for a fine superficial line around the mouth.
Before treatment, the lines around your mouth and the surrounding facial anatomy will be evaluated.
RHA Redensity is carefully injected into the areas requiring correction. The amount and placement are customized according to the depth and distribution of your lines.
Results are visible immediately, although temporary swelling may initially affect the appearance of the treated area.

Temporary effects may include:
These effects generally improve as the treatment area heals and the filler settles.
Because the mouth is a highly mobile area, you will receive specific aftercare instructions following your treatment.
Fine lines around the mouth require a different approach from restoring facial volume or creating structural contour.
Product selection, injection depth, amount of filler, surrounding anatomy, and facial movement all influence the 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 according to your anatomy and the characteristics of the lines being treated, with an emphasis on subtle, natural-looking correction.
RHA Redensity may be appropriate if fine lines around the mouth are a concern and you are looking for subtle correction without adding unnecessary volume.
The best filler depends on your anatomy, skin quality, depth of the lines, and desired result.
