How do RHA Collection fillers differ from other HA fillers?

Question

I've read that RHA Collection fillers can last up to 15 months, giving them more longevity than many other HA fillers on the market. How else do they differ from brands like Restylane and Juvederm? What are the pros and cons, in your experience?

Hello, thank you for your question.The major difference in RHA Collection fillers vs other brands on the market in the states is the way that they have been designed to more closely mimic the natural HA chains in your skin &mdash; this allows for a more natural result in dynamic lines/folds/areas of volume loss without immobilizing facial movement. Additionally, due to their ability to adapt to mobility without losing shape they are able prolong the breakdown providing lasting results for longer periods of time. I would recommend looking into the clinical studies and consulting with an experienced injector for more information. Best of luck!

While all those brands use HA as the basis for the filler, the ones in RHA filters are the closest to the HA produced by your body. RHA finetunes this even more by offering three different filler levels to get the filler to be as natural to the client's body as possible. This means the results are more natural-looking and take a much longer time to start dissolving. The one con I can think of about using RHA fillers is that if you don't like your results, you're either stuck with it for longer or you'll have to pay to get them dissolved by a dermatologist. The risk of this can be mitigated by going to a dermatologist who has a track record of producing the type of results you're looking for. If you're considering choosing RHA for your fillers, I'm assuming you're looking to get more natural-looking results. In that case, look for a dermatologist who has picture reviews that show subtle results.

Hello! The RHA fillers are marketed to last at least 12 months. They differ in that regard and price point (less expensive) compared with Juvederm and Restalyne lines. The results can be quite nice with RHA. Redensity is good for perioral lines. 2, 3, and 4 can be used in a variety of locations within the face with 4 providing more structure. Some patients are turned-off by the fact that they are not as well-known as Juvederm or Restalyne. But, that shouldn't determine you from trying them. Hope this helps!
