Facial lines and fillers

Signs of aging. Unwanted lines. The magic of fillers. Smooth this.
Soften that. Plump it more. These are familiar topics among beauty enthusiasts—experts in what they want and eager to learn more.
So eager in fact, Google says “lip filler,” “cheek filler,” and “chin filler” are highly searched terms online.

To help with that education, let’s talk about lines, wrinkles, and folds.
Most people think of these signs of aging on the face as being static and fixed on our faces without movement. But the truth is, many of the areas where lines, wrinkles, and folds appear are actually highly mobile or, in other words, “dynamic.”

What are dynamic lines, wrinkles, and folds?

Your face is dynamic—making millions of movements every day.
Repetitive movements like laughing and talking create facial lines called “dynamic” lines, wrinkles, and folds. These include the smile lines that get deeper with age.

The lipstick lines that become more noticeable over time. And the corner creases of the mouth that appear to be deeper and less smooth than they used to be.

The Teoxane RHA® Collection is specifically made to adapt to repetitive movements and is designed for natural-looking results opposed to results that appear stiff or overdone when the face moves. That’s to say:

The Teoxane RHA® Collection is made for facial dynamics

This collection of designer fillers is different. Advanced, and innovative.

The Teoxane RHA® Collection is the only FDA-approved line of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers for dynamic wrinkles and folds. It’s made for injection into the facial tissue for the correction of dynamic lines, wrinkles, and folds that are moderate to severe, such as nasolabial folds (RHA® 2, RHA® 3, and RHA® 4), and lipstick lines (RHA Redensity), in adults 22 or older.

The unique formulation of these fillers is intentionally designed to be resilient enough to adapt to your dynamic facial movements for a look that’s beautiful at rest and flawless in motion.

Think of the Teoxane RHA® Collection as the designer fillers made for a long-lasting, natural look—treating dynamic areas like smile lines, laugh lines, accordion lines, lipstick lines, corner creases, and the chin crease.
People see improvements last for 12-15 months, depending on the area.

Now that’s a topic worth sharing.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Are there any reasons why I should not receive any RHA® injectable gel formulation?
Do not receive if you have a history of multiple severe allergies or severe allergic reactions; if you are allergic to lidocaine or gram-positive bacterial proteins; or if you have a bleeding disorder.

What precautions should I discuss with my doctor?
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding as the safety of these products for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding 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
• Tell your doctor if you are planning laser treatments or a chemical peel, as there is a possible risk of inflammation at the treatment site if these procedures are performed after treatment
• Tell your doctor if you are on immunosuppressive therapy used to decrease your immune response, as use of these products may result in an increased risk of infection
• Tell your doctor if you are using medications that can prolong bleeding, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood thinners, as this may increase bruising or bleeding at the injection site
• The safety and effectiveness of RHA® fillers in areas other than those indicated have not been established in U.S. clinical studies
• Patients who experience skin injury near the site of injection with this product may be at a higher risk for side effects
• Minimize strenuous exercise, exposure to extensive sun or heat, and alcoholic beverages within the first 24 hours following treatment

What are possible side effects?
The most commonly reported side effects included injection-site redness, swelling, pain, tenderness, firmness, lumps/bumps, bruising, discoloration, and itching.

One of the risks with using these products is unintentional injection into a blood vessel, and while rare, the complications can be serious and may be permanent. These complications, which have been reported for facial injections, can include vision abnormalities, blindness, stroke, temporary scabs, or permanent scarring.

Delayed-onset inflammation near the site of dermal filler injections is one of the known side effects associated with dermal fillers. Cases of delayed-onset inflammation have been reported to occur at the treatment site following viral or bacterial illnesses or infections, vaccinations, or dental procedures. Typically, the reported inflammation was responsive to being treated or resolved on its own.

As with all skin injection procedures, there is a risk of infection and recurrence of herpetic eruptions.
