What is the RHA Collection?
What is the RHA range?
The RHA Collection is a portfolio of crosslinked hyaluronic acid injectable gels with different firmness and placement characteristics for product-specific indications.
A set of gels made from hyaluronic acid, each with a different firmness, meant to go at a different depth, and each approved for its own particular uses.
The “dynamic” positioning of the collection does not mean every RHA product is approved for every moving facial area. Approved uses remain product-specific.
The range is marketed around movement, but that does not mean every RHA product is approved for every part of the face that moves. Each one has its own approved uses.
What are the current RHA products and approved uses?
What are the products, and what are they for?
Current U.S. labeling distinguishes products by wrinkle depth, lip use and midface volume.
The approvals here separate them by how deep the wrinkle is, whether they are for lips, and whether they add volume to the middle of the face.
| Product | Examples of current U.S. labeled use |
|---|---|
| RHA Redensity / Redensity Mepi | Moderate-to-severe dynamic perioral rhytids. |
| RHA 2 / RHA 2 Mepi | Moderate-to-severe dynamic facial wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds. |
| RHA 3 / RHA 3 Mepi | Dynamic facial wrinkles/folds such as nasolabial folds; lip augmentation/fullness. |
| RHA 4 | Moderate-to-severe dynamic facial wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds. |
| RHA Dynamic Volume | Dynamic facial wrinkles/folds plus cheek augmentation and/or age-related midface contour deficiency. |

Who may be a good candidate for RHA filler?
Who is it suitable for?
Adults 22 or older may be candidates when their concern matches a product indication and there is no contraindication such as severe allergy history or a relevant anesthetic allergy.
Adults aged 22 and over, whose concern matches what one of the products is approved for, and who have no reason it would be unsafe, such as a serious allergy history or an allergy to the local anaesthetic in it.
- Tell the injector about multiple severe allergies or previous anaphylaxis.
- Current formulations may contain lidocaine or mepivacaine; allergies to the relevant local anesthetic matter.
- Bleeding disorders and medicines that increase bleeding/bruising should be reviewed.
- Treatment should be delayed if the planned area has active infection or significant inflammation.
- Tell whoever is injecting about multiple severe allergies, or any previous severe allergic reaction.
- These products contain a local anaesthetic. Tell us if you are allergic to any of them.
- Any bleeding disorder, and any medicine that makes you bruise or bleed more, needs reviewing first.
- It should wait if the area has an infection or significant inflammation.
What happens during RHA treatment?
What happens during treatment?
The clinician selects the formulation and injection plane that match the treatment goal, then injects controlled amounts while monitoring tissue response and vascular safety.
The clinician picks the formulation and the depth that match what is being treated, then injects controlled amounts, watching how the tissue responds and keeping the blood vessels in mind throughout.
The safest endpoint is not maximum volume. Facial balance, movement and tissue capacity should guide how much is placed.
The aim is not to get as much in as possible. The balance of your face, how it moves, and how much the tissue can take, decide how much goes in.
What results can the RHA Collection provide?
What result will I get?
RHA fillers can soften selected dynamic folds, enhance lips or support midface contour depending on the exact product. Early improvement is visible quickly, but swelling can temporarily affect the appearance.
These fillers can soften certain folds, add to the lips, or support the middle of the face, depending on which one is used. You see a change quickly, though swelling changes how it looks for the first few days.
Duration claims vary by formulation and indication.
How long it lasts depends on which product and what it was used for.
What are the risks of RHA fillers?
What are the risks?
RHA has the common risks of hyaluronic acid fillers, including injection-site reactions and rare serious vascular complications.
The usual risks of any hyaluronic acid filler: reactions where the needle went in, and the rare but serious risk of it entering a blood vessel.
- Common reactions include bruising, firmness, swelling, pain, tenderness, redness, lumps/bumps, discoloration and itching.
- Infection, delayed inflammatory reactions and nodules can occur.
- Intravascular injection can lead to tissue necrosis, vision impairment/blindness or stroke.
- Any sudden vision change, unusual severe pain or skin blanching needs immediate evaluation.
- Common: bruising, firmness, swelling, pain, tenderness, redness, small lumps, discolouration and itching.
- Infection, inflammation appearing later, and lumps forming later.
- Rarely, filler entering a blood vessel, which can kill the skin, damage your sight, or cause a stroke.
- Any sudden change in your vision, unusual severe pain, or skin turning white, needs seeing immediately.

What is recovery like after RHA injections?
What is the recovery like?
Most patients have minimal functional downtime, but visible swelling or bruising can last several days and varies by treatment area.
Most people carry on as normal, but visible swelling or bruising can last several days, and it depends which area was treated.
What are alternatives to RHA?
What else could I have?
Alternatives include other FDA-approved HA fillers such as Restylane, neurotoxins for muscle-driven lines, skin treatments for texture/laxity, or surgical options for more advanced structural change.
Another approved filler family such as Restylane. A muscle relaxing injection, if the line comes from movement. A skin treatment, if the issue is texture or looseness. Or surgery, for bigger structural changes.

Questions patients ask
What makes RHA different from other hyaluronic acid fillers?
What makes RHA different from other fillers?

It is a brand of hyaluronic acid filler engineered to behave in a particular way, and marketed for parts of the face that move. What matters in practice is that each one has its own approved uses and its own handling.
Which RHA filler is used for lips?
Which one is used for lips?
RHA 3 and RHA 3 Mepi include lip augmentation/fullness in current U.S. indications. The clinician can confirm which formulation it stocks.
RHA 3 includes lips in its approved uses here. Ask which formulations we stock.
Is there an RHA filler for lines around the mouth?
Is there one for lines around the mouth?
RHA Redensity products are indicated for moderate-to-severe dynamic perioral rhytids.
Yes. RHA Redensity is approved for the moderate to severe lines around the mouth that show when you move.
Can RHA add cheek volume?
Can it add volume to my cheeks?
RHA Dynamic Volume has a current U.S. indication for cheek augmentation and/or correction of age-related midface contour deficiencies in adults 22 or older.
RHA Dynamic Volume is approved here for the cheeks, and for the loss of shape in the middle of the face that comes with age, in adults 22 and over.
Can RHA filler be dissolved?
Can it be dissolved?
RHA fillers are hyaluronic-acid based, so hyaluronidase may be used to reduce HA filler when clinically appropriate. Reversal is a medical treatment and is not a guarantee of a perfect pre-treatment appearance.
Yes. Because these are hyaluronic acid fillers, an injection of an enzyme called hyaluronidase can break them down where appropriate. Dissolving is itself a medical treatment, and it does not guarantee getting you back exactly as you were.
What urgent symptoms after RHA need medical attention?
