RHA Fillers Before & Afters
Volume Restored
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers, sometimes called soft tissue fillers or wrinkle fillers, offer a non-surgical approach to facial rejuvenation. These injectable treatments come in various soft gel-like formulas designed to address a range of concerns:
- Restore Lost Volume: As we age, our skin naturally loses volume. Fillers can replenish fullness in areas like cheeks and temples, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance.
- Subtle Contouring: Fillers can subtly reshape your facial contours, defining cheekbones, enhancing the jawline, or balancing asymmetry.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Fillers smooth out wrinkles and lines, particularly those caused by volume loss. This includes nasolabial folds (lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth) and marionette lines (lines from the corners of your mouth to the chin).
There are two main types of fillers:
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers: HA is a naturally occurring substance in your skin that plumps and hydrates. These fillers provide immediate volume restoration and typically last for several months to a year.
- Collagen Stimulators: These fillers stimulate your body's natural collagen production, offering longer-lasting results (up to two years) as new collagen develops.

Dermal Filler Treatment Options
Dermal fillers offer a variety of solutions to achieve your desired results. These injectable treatments offer a variety of options to target specific concerns and achieve natural-looking results.
Hydration and Volume with Hyaluronic Acid
Juvederm® and Restylane®: These popular fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in your skin that attracts and binds water molecules. This translates to improved hydration, plumpness, and reduced appearance of wrinkles. Juvederm® offers a range of formulas like Voluma XC and Volbella XC to address specific areas like cheeks, lips, and lines around the mouth. Restylane® also offers targeted treatments like Restylane Lyft for cheeks and Restylane Silk for finer lines.
Collagen Stimulation with Radiesse®
Radiesse®: This unique filler takes a different approach. It contains calcium-based microspheres that stimulate your body's own collagen production. This is ideal for deeper wrinkles and folds that develop due to natural aging processes like fat loss and decreased elasticity. Radiesse works effectively on areas like nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
Natural-Looking Results with RHA®
RHA®: This innovative filler stands out for its ability to adapt to your facial movements. Made with hyaluronic acid and minimal chemical modifications, RHA® closely mimics the natural hyaluronic acid in your skin. This translates to a smoother, more natural-looking correction of wrinkles and volume loss.
The Collagen Booster with Long-Lasting Sculptra®
Sculptra®: Sculptra® takes a unique approach as a collagen stimulator. The secret lies in its formula. Sculptra® uses poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible material that gradually stimulates your body's natural collagen production. This translates to subtle, long-lasting results that develop over time. Unlike fillers offering immediate volume, Sculptra® delivers results that can last up to two years! This makes it ideal for those seeking a gradual, natural-looking improvement in areas like nasolabial folds, marionette lines, acne scar treatment, and chin wrinkles.
Achieve Facial Balance
What conditions do dermal fillers address?
Dermal fillers offer a versatile solution for a variety of concerns associated with facial aging and aesthetics. Here's a look at how they can address some common conditions:
- Wrinkles and Lines: As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to the formation of wrinkles and lines. Fillers add volume and smooth out these creases, particularly those caused by volume loss. This includes nasolabial folds (lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth) and marionette lines (lines from the corners of your mouth to the chin).
- Loss of Volume: Facial fullness naturally diminishes with age, causing cheeks to appear sunken and temples to lose definition. Fillers replace lost volume, restoring a plump and youthful appearance.
- Thin Lips: Dermal fillers can enhance lip volume and definition, creating fuller, plumper lips without looking unnatural.
- Uneven Contours: Fillers can subtly reshape facial contours for a more balanced and defined look. This can involve defining cheekbones, sharpening the jawline, or correcting any asymmetry.
- Acne Scars: In some cases, dermal fillers can be used to soften the appearance of indented acne scars, creating a smoother skin texture.
Important to Note: While dermal fillers effectively address these concerns, they are not suitable for treating deep wrinkles, severe sagging skin, or significant volume loss. In such cases, a consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon might be necessary to explore alternative options.

Level Up Your Look
Am I a candidate for dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are a popular choice for people starting to show signs of aging, such as wrinkles and volume loss. However, they can be effective for younger patients seeking lip enhancement or subtle contouring. Dermal fillers offer natural-looking improvements, not a dramatic change in appearance. It's important to have realistic expectations about the results. If you're looking to address wrinkles, lines, lost volume, or enhance certain features like lips, then fillers could be an option.
Get Back to Your Day Quickly
Dermal Filler Recovery
The beauty of dermal fillers is the minimal downtime required. Most patients can resume their regular activities right after their appointment. While you won't need to drastically alter your routine, we do recommend avoiding intense exercise or strenuous activities for the next 48 hours. This allows the fillers to settle in comfortably for optimal results.
The Non-Surgical Shortcut
Dermal Filler Results
The beauty of dermal fillers is the immediate improvement they offer. You'll see visible results right after your treatment, with some fillers providing a subtle plumping effect and others offering more dramatic volume restoration. However, keep in mind that there may be some initial swelling or redness at the injection site. These temporary side effects typically subside within a few days, revealing your final results.
Maintaining Your Results
While fillers offer long-lasting benefits, they are not permanent. To maintain your optimal results, consider:
- Schedule Regular Touch-up Appointments: Depending on the filler used and your desired outcome, touch-up appointments can help maintain your results year-round.
- Sun Protection is Key: Sun exposure accelerates the breakdown of hyaluronic acid. Consistent use of sunscreen helps preserve your results.
- Healthy Lifestyle Choices: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and proper hydration can contribute to the longevity of your dermal fillers.
