The RHA® Collection by Revance®

Why choose the RHA® Collection at Rockland, Maine’s Skin Klinic & Day Spa? Because not all wrinkles are the same. Some (dynamic wrinkles) develop due to repetitive muscle contractions, while others (static wrinkles) form because of the gradual loss of facial fat, collagen, and other important elements in the skin.

collagen & dermal fillers

Most facial fillers are made to treat only static wrinkles, using hyaluronic acid—a water-loving molecule found naturally in your skin and tissues—to reduce lines that are etched in and remain visible on the face even while it’s at rest. For patients who wanted to treat dynamic wrinkles, which are associated with facial movement, neuromodulators used to be the only option. That’s no longer the case. The RHA® Collection is the only collection of FDA-approved facial fillers available in 2023 that can be used for the treatment of dynamic wrinkles and lines such as nasolabial folds. The RHA® Collection contains a different type of hyaluronic acid that is more similar to what your body naturally creates, so it blends in more seamlessly with the skin.

WHAT IS THE RHA® COLLECTION AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

How does the RHA® Collection compare to other brands? Here’s a basic guide to how these fillers work.

RHA® stands for “resilient hyaluronic acid,” referencing the molecule that makes the fillers ideal for addressing age-related volume loss.

Healthy volume gives the face youthful contours and smoothness, with collagen providing structure and hyaluronic acid providing moisture and hydration. Aging skin loses both collagen and hyaluronic acid over time, however, so creases and hollows develop in areas that once appeared full and unlined.

The RHA® Collection addresses this loss by replacing the vanished volume. The hyaluronic acid molecules are linked to create a robust gel that not only fills in space beneath the surface of the skin, but also withstands the frequent muscle contractions that can quickly break other fillers down.

Each injection of an RHA® Collection filler is made by a registered nurse who is thoroughly experienced in facial aesthetic treatments in general and injectable fillers in particular. The Skin Klinic & Day Spa team maintains top-tier standards for safety, patient comfort, and delivering naturally beautiful results.

HOW DOES THE RHA® COLLECTION COMPARE TO TRADITIONAL HYALURONIC ACID FILLERS?

What makes the RHA® Collection unique? All hyaluronic acid fillers are very similar, but each has its own unique qualities that makes it better for treating certain types of conditions or skin depths. Traditional hyaluronic acid fillers are fairly robust and would create unnatural-looking results when used for correcting dynamic wrinkles. The main advantage of the RHA® Collection is that the fillers in this line can “stretch” and adapt easily to the most dynamic facial areas. RHA® Collection fillers are highly flexible, so they look very natural regardless of whether the face is moving or at rest. They blend and contour in the face without over-volumization or obvious projection for those who want a subtle enhancement.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF RHA® COLLECTION FILLERS?

The next question you may have is: “What are the different types of RHA® Collection fillers?” There are three options in the RHA® Collection, with each specific filler featuring a different “weight” determined by how the hyaluronic acid molecules are cross-linked. The numbers correlate to the density and viscosity of each RHA® Collection filler. Some patients will prefer an RHA® Collection filler that retains its structure for as long as possible, while others would prefer a softer, more malleable filler that produces a more realistic appearance.

The RHA® Collection at Rockland, Maine’s Skin Klinic & Day Spa has several formulations designed to target specific facial concerns. RHA® 2 is intended for plumping up lips and smoothing perioral lines, while RHA® 3 addresses moderate facial lines and RHA® 4 reduces more severe facial creases, like deep nasolabial folds. Redensity focuses on fine lines that develop around the mouth and elsewhere.

RHA® 2

The Skin Klinic & Day Spa team uses this filler for subtle results and delicate adjustments. It can give the lips a beautiful boost, as well as smooth out perioral lines, which are thin wrinkles that radiate from the mouth.

RHA® 3

To address mild to moderate smile lines—also known as nasolabial folds or “parentheses” lines—Skin Klinic & Day Spa’s injectors use a “fuller” filler. The thicker consistency works well to resist breakdown in this highly active region. It also smooths out corner lines next to the mouth.

RHA® 4

The “thickest” in this family of fillers is intended for moderate to severe facial lines, such as deep nasolabial folds. Injections can make the creases less noticeable.

Results from all three dermal fillers can last up to 15 months. As the gel breaks down, lines and flatter contours will begin to appear again. New RHA® Collection treatments can help to maintain the more youthful-looking results.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR THE RHA® COLLECTION?

The RHA® Collection is approved for adults aged 22 or older. These fillers are safe for all skin types. Since dynamic facial movements such as laughing and talking look very natural when you’ve had the RHA® Collection, these fillers are ideal for patients who want to add soft, subtle volume that is virtually undetectable. We can discuss your goals with you and examine your skin to help you decide whether this approach is best.

WHY CHOOSE SKIN KLINIC & DAY SPA FOR THE RHA® COLLECTION?

Administering dermal fillers is about much more than choosing part of the face and making an injection. Each of the licensed and certified registered nurses handling treatments at Skin Klinic & Day Spa has experience with these treatments and creates customized, natural-looking results in a safe and comfortable setting.

WHAT IS THE RHA® COLLECTION EXPERIENCE AT SKIN KLINIC & DAY SPA?

Every injection is made with care, and patients are given the option to numb the skin to decrease sensation. The injections feel like small pinches to many patients, who say they are very able to tolerate the treatment—especially since it doesn’t last long. The whole process can be completed in the span of a typical lunch break.

WHAT IS AFTERCARE LIKE FOR THE RHA® COLLECTION?

It’s recommended that you sleep on your back and keep your head elevated if you’re having any type of injectables, including the RHA® Collection. It’s common to experience some temporary redness and swelling that resolve on their own within a few days, along with some bruising at the injection site. Another benefit of this procedure is that there is usually much less swelling from the RHA® Collection compared to other fillers because the hyaluronic acid it contains is designed to imitate our skin’s natural hyaluronic acid.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM RECOVERY AND RESULTS AFTER TREATMENTS WITH THE RHA® COLLECTION?

You may be wondering: “How long does RHA® filler take to work?” and “How long do results from the RHA® Collection last?”

Just as they would for other types of facial fillers, results from the RHA® Collection appear right away. The volume added will create a noticeably more youthful face, with no need to wait for anything to “activate.”

The results last for around 15 months when the RHA® Collection is used to treat wrinkles or folds, and up to one year on lipstick lines. Any injection can cause a number of expected side effects, including redness, slight swelling and possible bruising, and tenderness. None of this is cause for concern, because the temporary effects will go away naturally in the days after a session.

WHAT ARE SOME COSMETIC TREATMENTS TO ENHANCE THE SKIN ASIDE FROM THE RHA® COLLECTION?

Different fillers have different strengths, which is why Skin Klinic & Day Spa also offers injectables in the hyaluronic acid-based Juvéderm® and Restylane® families. While the RHA® Collection works well in high-motion areas, neuromodulators like BOTOX®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau™ specifically target and relax the muscles responsible for facial wrinkles, such as frown lines.
