RHA® Collection
The only FDA approved hyaluronic acid filler for dynamic wrinkles and folds.
Dynamic wrinkles and folds appear in areas of the face that move repetitively. Your face is dynamic, making millions of movements and micro-movements every day. Movements like squinting, frowning, laughing, and talking create dynamic wrinkles and folds. These wrinkles and folds can be difficult to treat because dermal fillers may cause the area to appear stiff or unnatural when the face moves.
RHA® Collection is designed to be resilient enough to adapt to your facial movement, which may provide a more natural look at rest and in motion.
RHA® Collection uses a gentle manufacturing process. This helps preserve the natural structure of the HA, allowing it to more closely mimic the natural HA found in your skin. The RHA® Collection is developed by TEOXANE Laboratories in Geneva, Switzerland. RHA® represents the latest advancement in hyaluronic acid filler technology and can only be found at practices who provide exceptional consumer experiences and outcomes.
