RHA 4

If you’re unsatisfied with the health and complexion of your skin, you’re certainly not alone. As you get older, it’s natural to develop wrinkles and lose volume in your facial skin. However, just because these imperfections are normal does not mean that you need to simply accept them. Thanks to advancements in skin rejuvenation treatments, it’s easier than you may realize to achieve radiant, youthful facial skin. If you’re looking to restore your facial volume and reduce signs of aging, one treatment worth considering is the RHA 4 filler.

What Is the RHA 4 Filler?

RHA 4, from the Revance collection, is an injectable dermal filler used to add natural-looking volume to the facial skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Most commonly, the filler is used to treat nasolabial folds, which are located between the nose and the corners of the mouth.

How Does the RHA 4 Filler Work?

Like all of the fillers in the Revance collection, RHA 4 is a gel-like substance made using synthetic hyaluronic acid. When the filler is injected into the facial skin, it adds volume to the area, which smooths out the skin, reducing the appearance of folds and creases in the process. The RHA 4 filler is formulated to adapt to the movement of the face, allowing it to create exceptionally natural-looking results. RHA 4 also contains a small amount of lidocaine, which helps to prevent any significant discomfort during the injections.

Benefits of the RHA 4 Filler

The RHA 4 filler is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that can provide several notable benefits, including:

Adds natural-looking volume to the facial skin
Restores lost volume
Creates smoother, more youthful-looking skin
Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Safe, minimally invasive treatment
Little to no recovery downtime
Increased self-confidence

Am I a Candidate for RHA 4 Filler Treatment?

Adults who would like to restore lost facial volume and rejuvenate their skin could be good candidates for the RHA 4 filler. To be an ideal candidate for the treatment, you should:

Be in generally good physical health
Have lost facial volume and/or facial wrinkles that you’d like to address
Have realistic expectations for the treatment
Have no active skin infections near the treatment area
Have no allergies to hyaluronic acid, lidocaine, or any other RHA 4 ingredients

What Should I Expect During the Treatment?

After you’ve had a quick consultation with one of our medical providers, your RHA 4 filler treatment will be performed as an outpatient procedure right at our clinic. To begin, your skin may be treated with a topical anesthetic, although the lidocaine in the filler will also help to prevent any pain. Your injector professional will then use a very fine needle to inject the RHA 4 into the treatment area. In total, the treatment session should only take around 15 to 30 minutes, and you can head home immediately after it’s finished.

How Long Is the Recovery Time?

Typically, there’s little to no recovery time required after undergoing RHA 4 treatment. You may experience some soreness, swelling, and bruising in the days following the procedure, and you’ll need to avoid rubbing or scratching the injection sites. You may also need to avoid direct sun exposure and strenuous physical activity for a day or two. After the treatment, your provider will give you thorough instructions to ensure that your skin heals properly, and it’s important that you follow them closely.

How Long Will It Take To See Results After RHA 4 Filler Treatment?

Although you may notice immediate improvements in the appearance of your skin after RHA 4 treatment, it usually takes 24 to 48 hours for the full effects to develop. If you take good care of your facial skin, the results of the RHA 4 filler can last for up to 15 months.
