The popular Swiss injectable fillers from TEOXANE are now available in the United States through Revance Aesthetics. Introducing the RHA filler collection, resilient hyaluronic acid fillers designed for dynamic facial wrinkles and folds. In other words, RHA fillers adapt to your facial movements with a natural look.
The RHA filler collection contains three different formulations: RHA 2, RHA 3, and RHA 4.
RHA 2 and 3 offers results for moderate to severe wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds around the nose and mouth. These fillers are injected in the mid-to-deep dermis.
RHA 4 goes even deeper, into the subcutaneous tissue, to treat moderate to severe wrinkles and folds.
All three fillers work to reduce the appearance of dynamic folds and wrinkles without negatively impacting natural facial movement and expressions.
The Laser and Skin Surgery Center of Indiana (LASSI) offers all hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, including RHA filler treatments, in our Indianapolis dermatology practice. Unlike many of our competitors, all of our injectable treatments are administered by Dr. C. William Hanke, medical director and board-certified dermatologist. Dr. Hanke is a leader in cosmetic injections, and our practice also serves as a clinical trials location for new cosmetic dermatology treatments.
During your consultation, we will take a full health history, discuss your needs/goals, and examine the treatment area. If we determine that injectable fillers are right for you, we will proceed with scheduling your treatment. We will provide you with pre-treatment instructions and get you scheduled.
When you come into the LASSI for your injectable treatment, we will first make you comfortable in one of our private treatment rooms. We will administer the filler in the treatment area using a fine gauge needle. Each syringe includes lidocaine for your comfort, and Dr. Hanke will check in with you routinely to ensure you’re comfortable through your procedure. Following your treatment, you will be given post-treatment instructions and a follow-up appointment to review your progress.
It’s important to discuss treatments like dermal fillers with a board-certified dermatologic surgeon if you have questions. This is because every patient is different. We want you to be armed with accurate information about how filler treatments will work for you. Contact our staff with your questions and book a consultation with Dr. Hanke. In the meantime, we have answers to common questions below.

As with most dermal fillers, the most common side-effects include some swelling and bruising at the injection site. This will subside after a few days. Serious side effects are rare and are often avoided by seeking treatment with a board-certified dermatologic surgeon. Most problems encountered by patients are due to inexperienced injector errors, not the filler itself.
Yes. Like most other hyaluronic acid fillers, a small amount of lidocaine is included to ensure your comfort during injection. Topical numbing and ice may also be used for enhanced comfort. Discuss your options during your consultation.
Most healthy adults can safely receive injectable filler treatments. However, some people should avoid injectables or will need to adjust their routines prior to receiving injectable treatments. For example, women who are pregnant or nursing should not receive any anti-aging injectables. Certain medications can interact with dermal fillers or increase the risk of side effects. If you have certain medical conditions, like bleeding disorders, we may advise against treatment. Blood thinners should not be taken prior or following treatment. We will discuss your health history during your consultation to decide if injectables are right for you. Contact us for more information.
