Revance® RHA Fillers In LOS GATOS, CA
Revance® RHA® Collection is a family of next-generation hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers offered at Advanced Aesthetic Dermatology by Dr. Bitters, designed to fill dynamic wrinkles and deep creases.
Developed in Switzerland in 2003, RHA has been used there for several years with gorgeous, natural results. There are three types of dermal fillers in the RHA® collection RHA® 2, RHA® 3, and RHA® 4. These are the first and only FDA-approved fillers for treating dynamic facial wrinkles. Specially formulated for wrinkles that move during the day, such as smile lines, these fillers are both stretchy and strong. By smoothing and lifting folds and wrinkles, RHA® allows you to express yourself, avoiding the appearance of frozen or filled skin.
Unlike RHA® 2 and 3, RHA® 4 can be injected deeper into animated areas of the face, such as the cheeks, to help build up the structure. Dr. Bitters can customize your treatment with these fillers when combined with your other treatments.
For a more comfortable injection, each RHA® filler contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic. Dr. Bitters provides numbing cream before the procedure for many patients.

Before Revance® RHA Fillers treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for about a week to reduce the risk of bruising.

Your provider may massage the treated areas to distribute the filler evenly.
