RHA2 Filler Sherman Oaks
RHA2 filler is part of the RHA® Collection of dermal fillers. The RHA Collection is an award-winning set of designer fillers. Developed for natural-looking results, RHA 2 was specifically formulated to act like the naturally occurring hyaluronic acid in your own skin. Our faces are dynamic — meaning we make hundreds of movements such as frowning, smiling, laughing, eating, etc.
Repetitive movements create facial lines called dynamic wrinkles and folds. Because these areas are usually in motion, treating facial lines can be challenging. Oftentimes fillers can make the treated areas look stiff and unnatural when the face is moving. The RHA® Collection was developed to work with movement to look natural and refreshed. Dynamic facial movements include:
- Frowning
- Smiling
- Talking
- Laughing
- Squinting
- Chewing
What is RHA 2?
RHA 2 belongs to the RHA family of fillers (slightly firmer/thicker than Redensity AKA RHA 1, but softer/thinner than RHA 3 and RHA 4). The difference with this collection of fillers is unique. It is designed to be resilient enough to adapt to your dynamic facial movements for a look that’s beautiful at rest and natural in motion.
The levels within the RHA® Collection depending on which area is targeted. Your provider will discuss options with you based on your individual goals.
RHA 2 Benefits
RHA 2 was specifically developed to mimic our bodies’ own hyaluronic acid, it is softer and more natural in appearance than many other fillers. It’s known as a “flexible” filler and was specifically formulated for moderate facial folds.
It’s a perfect filler for treating accordion cheek lines, filling underneath the eyes, moderate lip lines and lip augmentation.
What Results to Expect:

- Fills the under eye area
- Lip augmentation
- Lip lines
- A flexible gel filler that closely resembles the naturally occurring hyaluronic acid in our bodies for a more natural result whether you face is resting or moving.

- Long-lasting results up to one year (this may change due to your lifestyle, age and aesthetic goals).

How the Procedure Works
RHA 2 is a non-surgical procedure performed at our cosmetic center. It is performed by our doctor who’s specialized in medical aesthetics or one of our expert RN injectors.
Before & Preparation
Discuss your goals with your injector so she understands your priorities and preferences. During your consultation, you injector will also:
- Review your medical history with you
- Discuss whether you are a good candidate for RHA 2
- Tell you what to expect during and after your procedure
- Tell your provider if you are taking any medications or supplements that may cause increased bleeding. These include anti-inflammatory pain medications such as aspirin, Motrin, Excedrin, and ibuprofen, fish oils, blood thinning medications and alcohol.
- If you have any plans to get vaccinated or receive any type of procedures that involve puncturing of the skin, please let your injector know as it’s not ideal to have these done within a two-week window of your RHA 2 treatment.
- Let your injector know if you are pregnant or nursing. Also if you have a history of severe reactions or cold sores. The safety of RHA 2 has not been studied in pregnant people or those with a history of severe allergic reactions. If you have had a history of cold sores, our Medspa can provide you with anti-viral medication to prevent a breakout from needle irritation. You must be over the age of 18 to be eligible for RHA 2 since the FDA didn’t study this treatment in people under 18.
- Don’t engage in strenuous activity on the day of your treatment or the next day. Bruising and swelling can worsen when your blood flow increases.
- Stay hydrated! Drinking a lot of water helps keep your skin moisturized which aids in speedier recovery times.
- Limit your exposure to the sun for 48 hours.
- Don’t smoke 48 hours prior to the procedure as it will reduce the risk of bruising and swelling.
During the Procedure
- RHA 2 is a non-invasive procedure that is relatively quick at 15-30 minutes depending on how many areas are treated
- The treatment area will be cleaned with alcohol or a different antiseptic
- Your injector may use a pen to mark the injection site if needed; the ink will wipe off
- RHA 2 will then be injected into the treatment area using a very fine needle or cannula
- RHA 2 has lidocaine in its formulation to minimize any discomfort
- Your provider may massage the area to ensure tissue integration or for molding the product into the correct shape and placement
Aftercare & Recovery
There is always potential bruising and swelling associated with any filler procedure but you can resume most of your normal activities after treatment. Follow your provider’s post-care instructions for the best outcome.
You should also avoid:
- Intense exercise for 24-48 hours
- Make-up on the treated area for 24-48 hours
- Touching the treated area for 24-48 hours
- Harsh products such as AHA/BHAs, scrubs and retinols
- Blood thinning medications/supplements and alcohol

Guide Before Coming To Your Appointment
The following guide will help you reduce risks and disappointing outcomes:
- After you book your consultation, you will discuss your cosmetic goals with one of our skilled and experienced healthcare providers.

- Inform your healthcare provider if you have plans of vaccination or laser therapy, chemical peeling or any other procedure within a two-week window of your treatment. There is a chance of an inflammatory response.

- 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.
