What are RHA fillers?

RHA fillers are a collection of hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers made by Teoxane Laboratories and distributed by Revance. RHA stands for Resilient Hyaluronic Acid, a formula designed to move naturally with facial muscles instead of sitting rigid beneath the skin, making it especially effective for smoothing dynamic wrinkles.

How are RHA fillers different from other dermal fillers?

Traditional HA fillers use shorter, heavily cross-linked HA chains that can look stiff when injected into areas that move often. RHA fillers use longer HA chains processed with less cross-linking, so they stretch and flex with facial expressions like smiling or talking, producing a softer, more natural result.

What's the difference between static and dynamic wrinkles?

Static wrinkles form from the natural loss of collagen and elasticity that comes with aging, and they're visible even when the face is at rest. Dynamic wrinkles, such as forehead furrows, nasolabial folds, and perioral lines, are caused by repeated muscle movement during expressions like smiling, frowning, or talking. RHA fillers are specifically formulated to treat this second category.

Which areas of the face can RHA fillers treat?

The RHA Collection includes several formulas designed for different areas and depths, commonly used to soften nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, perioral lines around the mouth, forehead furrows, and to restore volume in the cheeks and midface.

Are RHA fillers FDA-approved?

Yes. The RHA Collection is the first and only FDA-approved line of resilient hyaluronic acid fillers, and it's available only through select physicians such as board-certified plastic surgeons and dermatologists.

How long do RHA filler results last?

Results appear immediately after treatment and can last up to 15 months, depending on the treatment area, the specific RHA formula used, and individual factors like metabolism and muscle activity.

How is RHA filler different from Botox or Dysport?

Botox and Dysport are neurotoxins that relax the muscles causing dynamic wrinkles, which can sometimes leave the treated area looking less expressive. RHA filler adds volume and support beneath the skin rather than freezing muscle movement, so the face can still move and express naturally while lines appear smoother.

Is there downtime after getting RHA fillers?

RHA filler injections are a non-surgical, in-office treatment with minimal downtime. Most patients can resume normal activities the same day, though mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites can occur temporarily.

How do I know if I'm a good candidate for RHA fillers?

The best way to find out is through a consultation with Dr. Bachilo, who will evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine whether RHA fillers or another treatment option is right for smoothing your dynamic wrinkles and restoring natural-looking volume.

RHA® Collection of Dermal Fillers in Houston, TX

Flexible filler for naturally expressive results.

RHA fillers are advanced hyaluronic acid dermal fillers designed to smooth dynamic wrinkles and restore natural-looking facial volume. Unlike traditional fillers, the RHA Collection is formulated to adapt to facial movement, making it especially helpful for areas that move frequently when you smile, talk, laugh, or make expressions. At Glamour Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in Houston, RHA filler treatments are customized to each patient’s facial anatomy and aesthetic goals to create refreshed, balanced, and natural-looking results.

The first and only FDA-approved line of RHA fillers, the RHA Collection of injectable gel formulas is characterized by a unique blend of firmness, strength, mobility, and stretchability, making these fillers ideal for treating the dynamic wrinkles and folds that develop in naturally dynamic facial skin and muscle tissue that is constantly moving while making facial expressions.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler injections revolutionized cosmetic treatments in the early 2000s with injections that produced natural-looking improvements in skin tone and firmness, diminishing the appearance of static lines and wrinkles that are caused by the natural decrease in collagen and elasticity produced by the aging process.

Today, a new industry standard has been set by Teoxane Laboratories in Europe with their new Revance HA Fillers, known as the RHA Collection of Resilient Hyaluronic Acid fillers, designed to treat dynamic lines and wrinkles in different areas of the face. RHA dermal fillers represent the newest and most advanced development in dermal filler treatments.

The new RHA collection of dermal fillers is available only through select physicians such as plastic surgeons and dermatologists who fully understand facial anatomy. In the greater Houston area, you can now take advantage of RHA filler treatments at Glamour Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, administered by board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Olga Bachilo.

Static vs. Dynamic Wrinkles

Understanding the difference between static and dynamic wrinkles helps determine whether RHA fillers are the right injectable option.

Static facial lines are those that are produced as the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin decreases as part of the aging process. Dynamic lines and wrinkles, also known as expression lines, result from repetitive muscle movements and muscular gestures that occur when we make facial expressions, such as smiling. Common dynamic lines and wrinkles include:

Forehead lines and frown lines — lines that appear across the forehead or between the eyebrows as a result of muscle contractions made during periods of stress or extreme focus
Nasolabial folds or parentheses lines – lines that extend from the outer edges of the nose to the outer edges of the mouth and are caused by smiling and other gestures of the mouth
Perioral wrinkles, sometimes known as “smoker’s lines” – small, vertical lines and creases around the lip line that are caused by muscular contractions used in the act of smoking, eating, speaking, and other facial expressions involving the mouth

How Do RHA Fillers Work?

RHA fillers are designed to move with your facial expressions while softening lines and supporting natural-looking facial rejuvenation.

RHA fillers are formulated to treat dynamic lines and wrinkles because the gel formulas used in these treatments are able to move with the facial muscles. For decades, dynamic lines have been treated using injectables such as Botox and Xeomin, which are formulated using neurotoxins that work by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles, which may create an overly frozen appearance if overtreated. By contrast, the new RHA fillers are formulated to move with the dynamic contractions of the facial muscles, allowing for more natural facial expressions.

Resilient Hyaluronic Acid more closely mimics the natural HA in human skin than traditional HA fillers because it is composed of longer chains of HA processed at lower temperatures, and with less crosslinking, making them more similar to the natural HA found in the human body. These longer, more resilient chains of HA produce a more natural and less “stiff” appearance in patients than traditional HA fillers that contain shorter chains of HA. For this reason, RHA fillers produce more natural-looking results while smoothing out dynamic lines and wrinkles.

The RHA® collection currently includes three formulas, each designed to treat different areas of the face and different types of lines and wrinkles. Results are visible immediately, with final results becoming more apparent as swelling settle.
