Hyaluronic acid fillers have long been the gold standard for restoring lost volume and smoothing away static lines or wrinkles. But while most fillers work beautifully when the face is at rest, they’re usually formulated for firmness and structure, appearing “stiff” when you’re animated. At Gifted Medspa, we’re excited to offer an innovative solution for an incredible natural look: RHA fillers, the world’s first hyaluronic acid fillers specifically designed to move with every laugh, frown or smile. Developed in Switzerland and now making waves in the U.S., RHA fillers adapt to your facial movements while still providing the beautiful, volumizing results you want.
What Are RHA Fillers?
The RHA Collection is an award-winning line of dermal fillers made with resilient hyaluronic acid (RHA), designed to provide beautiful results when the face is at rest
and in motion. Unlike
traditional fillers, the RHA Collection is specifically formulated to maintain its shape and adapt to your most dynamic facial areas, providing long-lasting support and structure that doesn’t weigh you down for natural movement when you wink, smile or blow a kiss. The RHA Collection is manufactured by Teoxane, a leader in the development of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. Teoxane products are the result of Swiss precision and innovation, giving patients a premier treatment option for smoothing away unwanted static lines and dynamic wrinkles.
RHA Fillers at Gifted Medspa
The RHA collection includes different formulations, each designed for specific concerns. These fillers use a unique manufacturing process that preserves the natural structure of HA molecules, creating a gel that closely resembles the hyaluronic acid found in your skin.
RHA 2
RHA 2 is specifically designed for fine lines, wrinkles and facial folds in the mid-to-deep dermis. Its lightweight formulation makes it perfect for delicate areas like the upper lip lines, cheek lines and smile lines. RHA 2 integrates beautifully with your tissues while maintaining flexibility during facial movements, making it ideal for areas where the skin is thinner and more mobile.
RHA 3
RHA 3 offers medium-depth correction for moderate wrinkles and folds. This versatile filler shines when treating nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines and defining the lip borders. With a balanced consistency that provides both structure and flexibility, RHA 3 restores volume while maintaining natural facial dynamics during expression. It’s the perfect middle-ground filler for patients seeking noticeable improvement without sacrificing natural movement.
RHA 4
RHA 4 is the most robust formulation in the collection, designed for more severe wrinkles, volume loss and facial contouring. This denser gel provides significant structural support for deep nasolabial folds, pronounced marionette lines and cheek enhancement. Despite its strength, RHA 4 maintains the collection’s signature flexibility, moving harmoniously with your expressions. It’s ideal for areas requiring more substantial correction and volume restoration.
RHA Redensity
RHA Redensity is the newest addition to the RHA collection, specifically formulated for the delicate lip area. This specialized filler combines the dynamic properties of RHA technology with a formula optimized for lip enhancement. RHA Redensity provides natural-looking volume and creates beautifully defined, hydrated lips that maintain their softness and expressiveness, perfect for patients seeking subtle enhancement or correction of lip lines.
Are RHA Fillers Right for Me?
RHA fillers are ideal for patients who want natural-looking rejuvenation that moves with their facial expressions. They are safe and effective for most adults, delivering long-lasting results that develop immediately after injection. As with all aesthetic treatments, candidates should have realistic goals and expectations. If you’re interested in the latest generation of dermal fillers, RHA may become your new favorite treatment if you:
- Prefer a filler that moves naturally with your facial expressions
- Want to treat dynamic wrinkles like smile lines and marionette lines
- Desire natural-looking results that last
- Have been disappointed with the stiff appearance of previous fillers
- Prefer minimally invasive treatments with little to no downtime
- Want to maintain your natural expressiveness while reducing the signs of aging
At Gifted Medspa, our experienced injectors —
Anna Ciccolini, PA-C and Darren Ciccolini, PA-C — will evaluate your unique needs and concerns to determine if RHA fillers are right for you, and recommend the best option (RHA 2, 3, 4 or Redensity) for achieving your aesthetic goals.
What to Expect During Your RHA Filler Treatment
Before
Your RHA journey begins with a consultation with one of our expert injectors. We’ll discuss your aesthetic concerns, examine your facial structure and review your medical history to ensure RHA fillers are appropriate for you. We may recommend avoiding blood-thinning medications, alcohol and certain supplements for one to two days before treatment to minimize bruising. Photography may be taken to document your pre-treatment appearance for comparison later.
During
The RHA injection process is quick and comfortable. After cleansing your skin, your provider may apply a topical numbing cream or ice to enhance comfort, though RHA fillers already contain lidocaine (a local anesthetic). Using either a fine needle or a blunt-tipped cannula, our expert injector will precisely place the filler in targeted areas. You’ll feel slight pressure or a mild pinching sensation during injection, but most patients find the process very tolerable.
After
Following your RHA treatment, you can resume most normal activities immediately. Some patients experience minor swelling, redness or bruising at injection sites, but these typically resolve within a few days. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat and alcohol consumption for 24 hours after treatment. You’ll see immediate volumizing results, with the final outcome becoming apparent as any minor swelling subsides over the next week.
RHA Filler Results
RHA fillers provide immediate volume enhancement and wrinkle reduction that continues to improve over the first week as any treatment-related swelling subsides. The results look remarkably natural, even when your face is in motion, thanks to the filler’s unique ability to move and adapt with your expressions. Depending on the specific RHA product used and the treatment area, results typically last 12-15 months before a maintenance treatment is needed. This impressive longevity makes RHA fillers an excellent value compared to traditional options.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do RHA Fillers Differ From Traditional Fillers?
With RHA fillers, the key difference lies in their ability to move with you. While
traditional fillers can sometimes look stiff during animation, the RHA Collection maintains a natural appearance even when you’re laughing, smiling or talking. This is due to their unique manufacturing process, which creates a more flexible gel that adapts to your facial movements.
Do RHA Filler Injections Hurt?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during RHA filler treatments. Some formulations contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic that helps numb the area during injection. Additionally, we can apply topical numbing cream before your treatment and use ice to further enhance your comfort. Our
experienced injectors use gentle techniques and fine needles to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a brief pressure or pinch that quickly subsides.
Are RHA Fillers Reversible?
Yes, like other hyaluronic acid fillers, RHA fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This is one of the safety advantages of choosing hyaluronic acid fillers over other types of injectables. While most patients love their RHA results and don’t require reversal, knowing this option exists provides peace of mind, especially for first-time filler patients.
Can RHA Fillers Be Used for the Lips?
Absolutely! RHA fillers are an excellent option for lip enhancement because they provide natural-looking volume that moves beautifully during speech and other facial movements. Their flexible nature means your lips will always feel soft and natural, never stiff or overfilled.
How Soon Will I See My Results?
You’ll notice an immediate improvement after your RHA filler treatment. The filler instantly adds volume to smooth wrinkles and enhances your contours. Some initial swelling may occur, which typically subsides within a few days, revealing your final results. Unlike treatments that require weeks to develop, RHA fillers provide instant gratification with results that continue to refine slightly as any swelling resolves and the filler fully integrates with your tissue.
Which RHA Filler Is Right for Me?
The RHA collection includes different formulations (RHA 2, RHA 3, RHA 4 and RHA Redensity), each designed for specific concerns and facial areas. RHA 2 is ideal for superficial lines like fine lip lines, while RHA 3 works beautifully for moderate wrinkles like nasolabial folds. RHA 4 provides more structure for deeper wrinkles and volume loss. During your consultation, our expert injectors will evaluate your needs and recommend the perfect RHA filler for you.
