Wrinkles may appear on your skin over time, but they aren’t just a surface issue. As you age, your face loses some of its subcutaneous fat, causing a soft tissue volume loss that sets the stage for skin sagging and conspicuous lines and creases.
Fortunately, you don’t have to live with the soft tissue volume loss that ages your face and skin. Our cosmetic specialists at HK Dermatology offer highly advanced RHA® — resilient hyaluronic acid — dermal fillers to restore lost facial volume and correct the most common signs of aging with natural-looking results.
Beneath every youthful complexion is an underlying scaffold of strong and resilient proteins — collagen and elastin — that keep skin smooth and supple.
As you get older, you may notice that collagen loss and sun damage have undermined this scaffold and left you with fine lines, wrinkles, and reduced skin laxity. At the same time, the facial muscles you use to talk, chew, smile, and squint contribute to further skin tissue breakdown after decades of repetitive use.
To make matters worse, your face starts losing some of its subcutaneous fat. Known as “facial deflation,” age-related soft tissue volume loss is responsible for the flattened cheeks, narrowed temples, and thinner lips that typically emerge during middle age.
From Botox® and laser skin resurfacing to IPL photofacials and chemical peels, you have your choice of non-surgical treatment options to help correct common signs of skin aging.
However, of all the anti-aging solutions available, dermal fillers are the only treatment that restores lost facial volume and skin structure as they smooth deep wrinkles and erase fine lines. Made with collagen, hyaluronic acid, and other pure substances, these minimally invasive injectables rejuvenate your appearance from the inside out.
When injected by a skilled provider, fillers reverse age-related facial deflation, erase fine lines, and smooth deep wrinkles and furrows for many months at a time.
It’s no surprise that dermal fillers are one of the most requested cosmetic treatments — they deliver instant results with no downtime and few potential risks or side effects.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance in your skin tissue that keeps it plump and hydrated. It’s also the main ingredient in many top-tier, FDA-approved fillers, including Juvéderm®, Belotero Balance®, Restylane®, and Revanesse®.
The RHA collection of fillers — which includes four formulations for specific skin needs — is resilient hyaluronic acid dermal fillers that closely mimic your skin's natural hyaluronic acid. This makes them unique among HA fillers and allows them to deliver next-level benefits as a result, including the following:
RHA fillers are the only ones that are FDA-approved to correct dynamic wrinkles and folds — creases and lines that appear in areas of your face that move repetitively. This is the standout feature of RHA fillers. They’re designed to be resilient enough to adapt to your facial movement.
This dynamic movement compatibility means that RHA fillers enhance your appearance naturally. Because they move with your face, they never appear stiff or unnatural when you talk, smile, or express emotion.
RHA fillers are specially manufactured during a gentle process with minimal chemical modification. As a result, RHA fillers have fewer cross-links than conventional HA fillers. While cross-linking is essential to a filler’s structure and longevity, too much cross-linking can make a filler dense and less flexible.
On the practical level, fewer cross-links mean RHA fillers are a much closer match to the natural hyaluronic acid in your skin. This gives them a more natural look and feel while still providing the necessary anti-aging volume and support.
The science behind RHA fillers emphasizes a balance between dynamic resilience and subtle enhancement. This makes them stand apart from many conventional fillers, which may prioritize volume or longevity over a more natural movement, look, and feel.
Because RHA fillers are minimally processed and a close structural match to the natural hyaluronic acid found in your skin, they offer better biocompatibility. This translates to a smoother, more organic integration into your skin.
RHA fillers are more durable than the average HA filler, translating to longer-lasting results. If you like the idea of revitalizing your appearance with a natural filler that doesn’t require frequent touch-ups, RHA fillers are an excellent choice.
