Altera Wellness in Temple Terrace, serving Tampa, lists the RHA Collection on its current menu. This introduction explains selected product indications and how to ask about them. It does not imply that every RHA formulation or treatment area is available at the clinic.
Start with the concern behind the word
The FDA’s original RHA 2, RHA 3 and RHA 4 approval describes correction of moderate to severe dynamic facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, in adults aged 22 or older. “Dynamic” relates to movement; it is not a guarantee that any treatment will look a particular way in every expression. FDA original approval1
Ask the clinician to explain whether that description matches your concern. You might be discussing a fold beside the mouth, fine lines around the lips or a different contour question. The collection name should not blur those into one interchangeable treatment.
At Altera Wellness, bring both the change you are considering and the features you want left alone. A useful discussion is specific enough that you can summarize the proposed goal without relying on a brand slogan.
Different RHA products have different roles
RHA 3 also has an FDA-approved indication for lip augmentation and fullness in adults aged 22 or older. RHA Redensity is indicated for moderate to severe dynamic perioral rhytids—the lines around the mouth—in adults 22 or older. Those are distinct purposes. FDA RHA 3 summary2, Redensity labeling3
The collection has also evolved. Revance’s January 2026 announcement identifies RHA Dynamic Volume as FDA-approved for cheek augmentation and/or correction of age-related midface contour deficiencies in adults aged 22 or older. This is product-specific information, not confirmation of clinic stock. Manufacturer approval announcement4
These examples are an orientation rather than an exhaustive catalogue. Ask for the exact name, current labeling and intended use of the product being recommended to you. If a term is unfamiliar, have it explained before making a decision.
What is inside an RHA filler?
RHA Redensity’s labeling describes a hyaluronic acid gel containing both crosslinked and non-crosslinked HA, with lidocaine in that formulation. Crosslinking connects HA chains to create the gel structure. This is an injectable implant, not a cream or a muscle-relaxing medicine. Redensity composition and patient explanation3, FDA patient brochure6
A product’s name and formulation should stay attached to its indication. Details about one RHA gel cannot automatically be transferred to another version in the family. The proposed product should be identified specifically, including its patient labeling, rather than described only as “RHA.”
Movement and volume are related, but different goals
The original dynamic-fold indication concerns wrinkles and folds in moving facial areas. The newer Dynamic Volume approval concerns cheek augmentation and age-related midface contour deficiency. A moving fold and a volume deficit are not interchangeable descriptions; the product-specific indication is what connects a formulation to a treatment purpose. FDA original indication1, 2026 approval announcement4
For someone coming from Tampa to Temple Terrace, that distinction offers a better starting point than choosing the most familiar product name. Describe the feature you notice, then evaluate the actual proposed treatment and its limitations.
Risks still matter with an expressive-face goal
Filler can unintentionally enter a blood vessel and compromise circulation. Rare serious consequences include blindness, stroke and tissue damage. Choosing a product described for dynamic areas does not remove those risks. FDA filler safety5
The Redensity label also describes reactions such as swelling, bruising and lumps, and identifies relevant allergy restrictions. Your clinician should review the patient information for the actual product proposed, because formulation details matter. Redensity labeling3
Ask which symptoms require immediate medical attention and how the practice handles an urgent problem. Review your history and medications with the clinician rather than assuming a previous uneventful treatment settles every safety question.
Questions about the RHA Collection
Can RHA be used for lip fullness or lines around the mouth?
Those are separate indications. RHA 3 has an FDA-approved lip augmentation and fullness indication for adults 22 or older. RHA Redensity is indicated for moderate to severe dynamic lines around the mouth. Ask which formulation and intended use are being proposed.
Does RHA contain lidocaine or mepivacaine?
The collection includes formulations with lidocaine and formulations with mepivacaine. These are local anesthetics. Ask for the complete product name and disclose any anesthetic allergy; the exact formulation matters even if you previously received a product called RHA.
Who should not receive RHA filler?
RHA labeling excludes people with bleeding disorders, certain severe allergy histories, or allergies to relevant bacterial proteins or amide local anesthetics. Treatment should be deferred where there is active inflammation or infection. Review the proposed product’s complete patient information and your medical history with the clinician.
Does RHA last the same amount of time in lips and cheeks?
No single timeline applies across the collection. RHA 3 lip studies followed results through one year, while RHA Dynamic Volume has separate cheek and midface evidence. Ask about duration for the exact formulation and area; a study follow-up period is not a guarantee that everyone retains the same result.
Is RHA filler safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been studied for the RHA collection. Tell the clinician if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning pregnancy before considering elective treatment. Lack of study data does not establish safety.
