Several factors influence how your skin ages, including environmental factors you can control and factors you cannot control. For example, you can’t stop the hands of time and cannot control your genetic makeup. But you can control sun exposure, skin care products, nutrition, hydration, and exposure to environmental toxins.
Understanding how these factors impact skin health has been growing in recent decades. Even when we take great care of our skin, we are all affected by skin laxity and the loss of collagen and elastin as we age. RHA Redensity™ in Edmond can smooth wrinkles and naturally restore some of the facial volume we all lose.
RHA stands for resilient hyaluronic acid. It is a dermal filler brand that uses hyaluronic acid, a compound your body naturally produces that reduces scarring and keeps skin flexible.
RHA Redensity™ reduces the appearance the lines and wrinkles around the eyes, lips, and forehead. Using a unique formulation, it integrates with the skin and provides a smoother, more even appearance. The formulation can be used in the higher epidermal surface layers of the skin or the deeper dermal layers.
This versatile product moves with your face, giving you a more natural appearance and fewer chances of bumps appearing with facial movement. One of the differences between RHA Redensity and other hyaluronic acid fillers is there are fewer chemical modifications, so the formula mimics your natural hyaluronic acid more closely. This gives better, longer-lasting results.
RHA Redensity™ is injected into areas of the face where volume is needed to restore a youthful appearance. The version of hyaluronic acid is closer to the natural compound found in your skin, which means the body does not metabolize it as quickly, so it lasts longer. Hyaluronic acid binds to water molecules, helping to create volume and restore hydration.
The formulation in RHA Redensity adjusts with movement so your lips move more naturally when the product is used around your mouth. Once the product is injected, it integrates with the surrounding tissue. The unique properties of the chemical formulation allow it to blend seamlessly with your skin to provide a natural look and feel.
For people in Edmond, receiving RHA Redensity™ begins with a consultation so the health professionals at Fitz Aesthetics and Wellness can thoroughly evaluate your skin and hear about your aesthetic goals.
On the day of the procedure, your skin is cleansed thoroughly, and, in some cases, a topical anesthetic or numbing cream is used to minimize discomfort. RHA Redensity also contains lidocaine, an anesthetic that can help reduce pain at the injection site.
Your aesthetician usually marks the areas on the face where RHA Redensity will be injected. Then, using a fine needle, the filler is injected into the targeted areas. The amount and location are dependent on your desired outcome. After the injections, the area is observed to ensure the desired effect is achieved and any necessary adjustments are made.
After treatments, you will receive instructions on how to care for the area and yourself. You can expect mild swelling, redness, or bruising around the injection sites. This is common and usually resolves within a few days. You may be able to use cold compresses in the treated area, but you should limit the time you use ice packs next to your skin.
You may experience numbness or short-term loss of feeling in the injection area. You may also be asked to limit your exercise and exposure to cold, heat, or sun, which can increase short-term redness and swelling.
RHA Redensity™ produces reliable results for up to one year for most people. How long it lasts on your face depends on several factors, including the injection site and your metabolism. You can have touch-ups done every year to maintain the results. Most treatments take 15 minutes or less, and the effects of treatment do not typically impact your daily activities.
RHA Redensity™ in Edmond can give you smoother skin for up to a year with natural-looking results that move with your expressions.
