What Makes RHA Fillers So Popular?

Dermal fillers are a very popular, non-surgical solution for targeting some of the signs of aging. As their name suggests, fillers work by adding volume to areas where it has been lost or where lines and wrinkles have formed. Fillers are typically made from one of several substances, with Hyaluronic Acid fillers being the most popular.


HA is a naturally occurring substance that starts to decline as we get older. When we add HA to the body, water binds to it, causing the skin to look plumper and more hydrated. While there are many different HA fillers available, there is one brand that is particularly popular - RHA by Revance.


RHA fillers are the first and only FDA-approved resilient Hyaluronic Acid fillers available to correct dynamic wrinkles and skin folds that accompany the aging process. Here are just some of the reasons why RHA fillers by Revance are so popular. 

There are different types of RHA filler

There are currently three different versions of RHA by Revance. Each version is meant for a different depth of injection and specific area of the face. This makes it possible to tailor your treatment specifically to your individual needs. 

RHA2

RHA2 is most commonly recommended for smoothing mild fine lines and wrinkles around the face. However, it can also be successfully administered to create natural plumping of the lips, giving you a pout you can be proud of. 

RHA3

RHA3 is the next level of dermal filler and is recommended for moderate lines and wrinkles, particularly around the nasolabial area. This refers to the lines that extend from the nose to the corner of the mouth. 

RHA4

RHA4 targets the deepest lines and wrinkles on the face, which are typically caused by larger facial movements, such as scrunching up your face in displeasure, or when yawning or sneezing. RHA4 is normally used to create greater definition and contours in the cheeks and along the jaw. 

RHA fillers can be used on various areas of the face

Many dermal fillers are only typically applied to either the cheeks or lips. However, RHA fillers are versatile enough to be able to be used to address lines and wrinkles in various areas of the face, including the:
 

• Lips
   

• Jowls
   

• Creases around the nose
   

• Lip creases
   

• Cheeks
   

• Under eyes
  
   

Unlike other types of dermal filler, RHA targets dynamic folds and wrinkles. These are the ones that move when you make facial expressions. They won’t be ever-present, but you will notice them when you make certain faces, such as smiling, frowning, or laughing. 

Short treatment time

Convenience is a major factor for many people considering non-surgical facial treatments like dermal fillers. RHA filler treatment typically takes less than half an hour from start to finish, making it easy to fit into even the busiest of schedules. Treatment is simple and straightforward and there’s no downtime afterward, meaning that you can get back to your usual activities immediately following your appointment. 

The results of RHA fillers are fairly long-lasting

Compared to many injectable cosmetic facial treatments, the results of RHA injectable dermal fillers are significantly longer. Patients can expect to be able to maintain their results for 15 months depending on factors such as their age, lifestyle habits, and the area of the face treated.
