DERMAL FILLERS

What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid (often simply referred to as “HA”) is a naturally occurring component of the skin that has many important functions, including retaining moisture; assisting in tissue repair; holding together collagen and elastin; providing cushioning, and helping create a protective barrier against microorganisms. Although this is a naturally-occurring substance in our body, it can begin to decrease as early as the age of 18. This is where HA dermal fillers come in. When injected into the skin, HA adds youthful plumpness, fills in wrinkles and creases, and restores a more youthful appearance. These products are extremely safe, and can instantly hydrate, plump and firm the complexion, helping you to look refreshed, vibrant and radiant with no downtime.

What are RHA fillers and how do they work?

Natural Radiance Med Spa now has the next generation of HA fillers. The RHA (Resilient Hyaluronic Acid) dermal fillers (RHA 2, RHA 3, and RHA 4) from Teoxane in Geneva are the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid based injectables to target dynamic wrinkles, and Natural Radiance Med Spa is thrilled to be offering them to our clients as part of our commitment to providing cutting edge solutions in a state-of-the-art setting. Because your face is always in motion, whether smiling, frowning, laughing or squinting, it needs a filler that responds to your organic contours and allows the spontaneity of your unique facial expressions to shine through. RHA dermal fillers are groundbreaking injectables that adapt to your facial movements, helping you to achieve natural, youthful-enhancing results whether you are still, or you are in the midst of roller coaster of facial emotions.

RHA fillers are injected into the mid to deep dermis layers or subcutaneous tissue in order to reverse folds, creases and wrinkles that make you look older than you feel. These products are formulated with naturally preserved hyaluronic acid, a compound found organically in the human body, responsible for the skin’s hydration, suppleness and volume. By replenishing the HA that is lost during maturity, RHA fillers can elegantly reshape and sculpt the facial structures while honoring your individuality and innate beauty.

In addition to all these benefits, many sources consider RHA fillers to be “clean” because they require less processing than traditional HA fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane, making them more akin to the natural hyaluronic acid (HA) produced in our bodies. As a result, people tend to be less reactive to RHA, as the body perceives it as less foreign. For these reasons, Natural Radiance favors these particular fillers.
