RHA® Collection

Fine lines, lost volume, and subtle facial changes deserve a filler that moves the way skin does. The RHA Collection at SOMA offers flexible, natural-feeling results tailored to how you actually live.

A Modern Approach to Facial Rejuvenation at SOMA

The Standard of Modern Aesthetics (SOMA) was founded by Dr. Leif Rogers, MD, FACS, a board-certified plastic surgeon whose approach to facial rejuvenation favors precision over guesswork. As Medical Director, Dr. Rogers has built a practice where every injectable treatment plan is guided by an understanding of anatomy, movement, and long-term balance. Schedule a consultation with SOMA to find out which dermal filler fits your face and your goals.

What Is the RHA Collection?

RHA stands for Resilient Hyaluronic Acid, a manufacturing process that preserves hyaluronic acid's natural structure rather than breaking it down. The result is a filler that flexes with the face during talking, smiling, and other everyday expressions, similar to the body's own hyaluronic acid. RHA fillers are commonly used to soften nasolabial folds and marionette lines and to restore volume in the cheeks and midface.

Benefits of the RHA Collection

Moves naturally with facial expressions instead of appearing stiff or overfilled
Available in a range of thicknesses for fine lines, moderate folds, or deeper volume loss
May soften nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and other movement-related wrinkles
Can restore lost volume in the cheeks and midface
Results build gradually and settle into a natural-looking finish
Involves minimal downtime, so most patients return to normal activities quickly

Am I a Good Candidate for the RHA Collection?

Good candidates for the RHA Collection are healthy adults who want to soften facial lines or restore volume without surgery. Ideal candidates are often bothered by movement-related wrinkles, such as lines that appear when smiling or talking, since RHA fillers are formulated to flex with expression rather than mask it. Patients with active skin infections in the treatment area or certain bleeding disorders may not be candidates; a personalized evaluation during consultation will confirm suitability.

Why Choose SOMA for the RHA Collection?

SOMA's clinical team approaches every filler treatment with an emphasis on facial proportion and restraint, so results look refined rather than obviously treated. Each RHA treatment plan fits within SOMA's broader model of care, where injectables, skin rejuvenation, and longevity services work together toward your overall goals. Patients also benefit from a private, purpose-built Beverly Hills facility and a team trained to match the right RHA formulation to each face.

Your Consultation

A consultation for the RHA Collection begins with a conversation about your goals, followed by an assessment of your facial anatomy, skin quality, and areas of volume loss or expression lines. The SOMA team will walk through which formulation may fit your needs and what results are realistic for your face. This is also the time to review your medical history and ask questions before scheduling treatment.

How Much Does It Cost?

The cost of RHA treatment depends on the formulation used, the number of syringes required, and the areas being treated. Because every plan is personalized, SOMA provides pricing after your consultation rather than a flat rate. The practice also offers financing options to help make treatment more manageable.

What to Expect During RHA Treatment

Mapping Your Treatment Areas

Before injecting, the clinical team maps the treatment areas and may mark key points on the face to guide precise placement. This step accounts for your unique anatomy, including the depth of folds or amount of volume loss.

The Injection Process

A topical numbing agent is typically applied to improve comfort before treatment begins. The RHA filler is then injected in small, controlled amounts, with the provider assessing your face between injections to guide placement and shape.

Immediate Aftercare

Before you leave, the clinical team does a final check of the treated area and provides instructions to follow at home over the next few days. Most patients leave the appointment and go straight back to their day.

RHA Collection Recovery

Recovery from RHA treatment is minimal for most patients. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites is common and typically resolves within a few days to a week. Applying ice as directed and avoiding excessive touching of the treated area can help manage swelling.

Most patients feel comfortable returning to work and daily activities right away, though it's advisable to avoid intense exercise, alcohol, and prolonged sun exposure for the first day or two. Any unusual symptoms, such as significant pain or changes in skin color, should be reported to the SOMA team promptly.

RHA Collection Results

Results from the RHA Collection typically appear right away, with continued improvement as any initial swelling resolves. Because RHA fillers flex with facial expression, results tend to look soft and undetectable rather than static. Depending on the formulation and treatment area, results may last several months to a year or longer, and many patients schedule touch-up treatments to maintain their look over time.

Formulations in the RHA Collection

The RHA Collection includes several formulations, each suited to a different depth of correction.

RHA 2

A lighter formulation for fine to moderate lines in areas with a lot of natural movement, such as around the mouth. Its softer consistency settles smoothly into thinner skin without feeling stiff when you talk or smile.

RHA 3

A versatile, mid-weight option for moderate to severe folds and wrinkles, including nasolabial folds and marionette lines. It balances structure and flexibility, making it one of the most commonly used formulations in the collection.

RHA 4

A firmer formulation for deeper folds and more significant volume loss, often used in the cheeks. Its thicker consistency holds shape well in areas with less natural movement.

RHA Redensity

A finer formulation for delicate, high-movement areas such as fine lines around the lips and mouth. Its light texture suits subtle corrections where a heavier filler could look unnatural.

RHA Collection FAQs

What are the risks of RHA fillers?

Common side effects include temporary swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. Less common risks can include asymmetry or lumps, and rare but serious complications involving blood vessels are possible with any filler injection. Reviewing your full medical history during consultation helps the SOMA team reduce these risks.

Can I wear makeup after RHA treatment?

Most patients can apply light makeup a few hours after treatment, once any pinpoint marks from injection have settled. The SOMA team will give specific timing guidance based on your treatment plan.

Can RHA filler be dissolved if I'm unhappy with my results?

Yes. Like most hyaluronic acid fillers, RHA can typically be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase if a patient is unhappy with their results or experiences a complication.

Are there medications I should avoid before RHA treatment?

Common blood thinners such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil supplements can increase the risk of bruising, so patients are often advised to pause them before treatment when medically appropriate. Always confirm any medication changes with your primary physician first.

Is there an ideal age for RHA treatment?

There's no single age requirement for RHA treatment. Candidacy depends more on your skin, facial anatomy, and aesthetic goals than your age, which is why a personalized consultation is recommended.

How long does an RHA treatment appointment take?

Appointment length depends on the number of areas being treated and the formulation used. The SOMA team can give you a more precise estimate during your consultation.

Is RHA filler injected with a needle or a cannula?

Depending on the treatment area and formulation, your SOMA provider may use a fine needle, a blunt-tipped cannula, or both to place RHA filler with precision and minimize bruising.

Will insurance cover RHA filler treatment?

RHA treatment is considered a cosmetic procedure, so it typically isn't covered by health insurance. Financing options may be available to help manage the cost.
