RHA 3 Sherman Oaks
Another filler on the market by Teoxane is the RHA 3-filler that enhances lip volume and treats wrinkles and moderate lines.
If you are looking for a way to correct areas such as marionette lines, oral commissures, or contour your lips, RHA 3 is the perfect one. The filler lasts up to 15 months, making it one of the most durable fillers on the market.
What is RHA 3?
RHA 3 is part of the RHA® Collection of dermal fillers which has been approved in Europe since 2015 and in the USA since 2020. The RHA family, an award-winning selection of designer fillers, consists of Redensity, (AKA RHA1), RHA2, RHA3, and RHA4.
These innovative fillers were developed to act like the natural hyaluronic acid in our bodies. With fewer chemical modifications than other fillers, they are made to move with your facial motion. This makes it more natural looking whether your face is in movement or at rest.
Our faces make many movements throughout each day. Every day we eat, speak, smile, laugh, squint, and frown – these are examples of dynamic movements. Since these expressions are repetitive, they can cause wrinkles and folds as we age. Some other fillers that correct these movements may look unnatural and stiff or “plastic” when the face is actually moving. That’s why the family of RHA fillers was developed.
Amongst the portfolio, RHA 3 has just the right amount of firmness, water affinity, and structural support. This allows the perfect lip enhancement, and filling of moderate to severe lines such as smile lines and marionette lines. Since RHA 3 more closely mimics our own hyaluronic acid, the results are much more natural looking, leaving you looking renewed and revitalized without looking stiff, puffy, or “fake.”
Repetitive/dynamic facial movements include:
- Frowning
- Smiling
- Talking
- Laughing
- Squinting
- Chewing

How the Procedure Works
There are three parts to the process of RHA 3 filler injection which can help you understand how to prepare, what to expect during treatment with RHA3, and how to take care in order to achieve the best settled results.
Before & Preparation
- Make sure to come to your appointment with your face clean and free of any makeup.
- In order to reduce the risk of bruising, stay away from taking medications or herbal supplements that can cause thinning of the blood such as ginko biloba, fish oil, vitamin E, advil, ibuprofen, alleve, aspirin, and naproxen for 5 days prior to your procedure. Also avoid ingestion of alcohol or fish.
- Make sure to schedule your procedure during a time that allows for 2 weeks of bruising and swelling (not immediately prior to an important event)
- Avoid making your appointment within a two week period of anything that stimulates your immunes system such as vaccines and dental procedures.
During the Procedure
- Arrive half an hour earlier than your appointment if you desire numbing cream. Otherwise, dental block, nitrous gas, ice, squeeze balls, fans, and vibrating devices can be used to help create a comfortable experience.
- After you book your consultation, you will discuss your cosmetic goals with one of our skilled and experienced healthcare providers.
- Risks and benefits are discussed with your provider and you have an opportunity to ask further questions if you have any.
- Inform your healthcare practitioner if you are taking any medications that might cause bleeding, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oils, or blood thinners. Like other injections this may cause bruising or bleeding at the injection site.
- Inform your injector if you have plans of vaccination or laser therapy, chemical peeling or any other procedure within a two-week window of your treatment as there may be is a chance of an inflammatory response.
- Inform your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, nursing, or have a history of severe allergies. The safety of using during pregnancy, nursing, those with severe allergies or in people under the age of 22 has not been studied.
- Tell your doctor if you have a history of excessive scarring, keloid formations or pigmentation disorders, as use of these products may result in additional scars or changes in pigmentation.
- The procedure takes about 5-15 minutes to complete.
- You are given aftercare instructions and can drive home (unless sedatives were used on a rare occasion)
Aftercare & Recovery
- Do not massage the area of injections unless instructed to by your provider.
- Start cold sore medication if you had your lips filled and you didn’t take prophylactic anti-virals.
- You may apply ice to reduce swelling as long as it is placed gently to avoid filler migration, and the ice is kept clean (not placed on unclean surfaces and back on the face).
- Avoid activities that apply pressure to the area of injection (ie pursing your lips around a straw if lips were filled, or smiling if smile lines were filled) for at least three days.
- Call your provider if there are any changes in skin color or any unusual pain.
- Lumps, bumps, and bruises are normal and usually settle in about 1-2 weeks- at our office, we offer complimentary bruise laser to help resolve it faster.

Treatment Areas
RHA 3 is ideally used in the areas listed below:
- Vertical lip lines
- Marionette lines
- Smile lines
- Upper cheeks
- Lips
- Lower Cheeks
- Accordion lines (wrinkles that form on the cheek when smiling)
- Chin/jawline
- Under eyes
- Neck
Am I a Good Candidate for RHA 3?
If you desire enhanced lip volume, or treatment of wrinkles and folds caused from repetitive facial gestures, RHA 3 can soften your appearance and revive your look.
RHA 3 is ideal for wrinkles around the mouth such as the mental crease, marionette lines, and smile lines. It is also great for treatment of the accordion lines on the cheeks.
The FDA has approved RHA 3 for use in people over the age of 22, but it can be used in patients as young as 18.
If you’ve ever had severe allergic reactions, are pregnant, or are breast feeding, please speak with your injector as RHA 3 has not been studied in patients who have a history of severe allergies or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Is RHA 3 A Good Filler?
RHA 3 is an excellent filler due to its innovative formulation and natural results. It’s firmer than RHA2, but a bit softer than RHA 4, which makes it perfect for lip enhancement and moderate to severe lines and wrinkles.
RHA 3 is part of the RHA Collection which has won many awards for its unique make-up. Because the hyaluronic acid is more closely related to what’s in our own bodies, the results are more natural to your own facial motions.
Due to its ingredients, there may be fewer side effects associated with RHA 3 which is an extra bonus when getting filler injections.

Types of RHA Fillers
There are four levels of RHA as each was formulated for very specific areas of the face. They include:
- RHA 1 (Redensity): The thinnest formula that smooths and lightly effaces wrinkles on the skin or lips, commonly known as lip lines, smoker lines, granny lines or barcode lines. It was formulated to look soft and natural around the mouth or in the thinnest of wrinkles, reducing the risk of small bumps in superficial skin injections.
- RHA 2: RHA 2 is approved for moderate facial folds. A stretchier formula just firmer than Redensity (RHA 1) that is ideal for moderate facial wrinkles, dynamic wrinkles, and minor plumping. It’s very flexible and is a wonderful option for radial cheek lines (known as accordion lines) and also areas around the mouth. It’s also a good option for under eyes and lip enhancement.
- RHA 3: RHA3 is a thicker formula than RHA 2 that is best for building up volume and moderate in-set wrinkles/folds, such as those of smile lines aka nasolabial folds, marionette lines, cheek accordion lines. It is also well recognized for its longevity and structurally supported results in lip enhancement.
- RHA 4: RHA4 is the strongest/thickest formula within the RHA portfolio that is ideal for deep facial folds and contouring facial features like temple hollows, cheeks, and the jawline. RHA 4 is the firmest of the four.
Your injector will advise on the best RHA filler to use for each part of the face you are targeting to help achieve your desired results.
Is There Downtime After RHA 3 Filler?
There is minimum downtime with RHA 3 filler, however, there is always potential for bruising and swelling associated with filler. Usually you can resume your normal activities right after treatment. In addition to any post-care instructions, you should also avoid:
- Intense exercise for 24-48 hours.
- Make-up for 24-48 hours.
- Touching the treated area for 24-48 hours.
- Blood thinning medications/supplements.
- Alcohol
- Smoking

RHA 3 FAQs
What is RHA filler?
RHA is a unique filler that was specifically developed for dynamic movement in the face (laughing, talking, chewing, etc.). It consists of Redensity (RHA1), RHA2, RHA3, and RHA4. It mimics the hyaluronic acid in your own body so that it moves with your face to look beautiful and natural whether you’re moving or at rest.
How long does RHA filler last?
The span for hyaluronic acid fillers depends on where it’s injected, the amount of movement in that area, amount of regular exercise, as well as your own metabolism. RHA fillers have long longevity, usually lasting between 9-15 months.
What is the difference between RHA Redensity, 2, 3 and 4?
They are all a part of the RHA family, from thinnest (Redensity AKA RHA1) to most firm (RHA 4). Depending on the desired result, providers can choose the correct firmness for each area of the face, to achieve either subtle thin wrinkle treatment or firm, jawline contour. For example, Redensity is perfect for super thin wrinkles, while RHA 3 is great for lip enhancement and volumization, and RHA 4 for cheeks and jawline definition.
What are the side effects of RHA fillers?
RHA fillers are generally safe with a skilled injector. However, as with any injection there is a temporary risk of bruising and swelling at the injection site. More rare complications include occlusion of vessels or allergic reactions. Avoiding alcohol, fish oil, aspirin and other blood thinners in the days before your treatment will help reduce the risk of bruising.
How painful is receiving RHA fillers?
Fillers themselves are typically painless due to the numbing agent lidocaine pre-mixed within its gel. However, the pokes may be slightly uncomfortable for some people.

Results are seen immediately after treatment, however, if you have bruising or swelling it may take up to two weeks to subside.
