We all experience fine lines, wrinkles, lost volume, and lost facial definition as we age. Gravity tends to start pulling our face downwards and issues with skin laxity begin. There are an array of safe and effective dermal fillers that can be used to treat these signs of aging.
Dermal fillers are injectable gel-like substances used to treat a wide range of cosmetic concerns. Each brand of filler has a unique formula that can be used to treat specific issues in different targeted areas of the face.
Dermal fillers can lift, contour, and reshape areas of concern that you are looking to improve and help you gain your confidence back.
It’s extremely important to find a board-certified dermatologist for your injections. Dr. Potozkin and Dr. Ellis specialize in minimally-to-non-invasive procedures and are both able to help you achieve ideal results with the perfect blend of art, science, and care. The way everyone carries their signs of aging is different. We take a conservative, individualized approach on every patient we see.
Dermal fillers are primarily used to rejuvenate the appearance by restoring structure and balance to various areas of the face. Depending on which filler is used and where it’s used, results usually last between 9 and 24 months. On average, treatment time is 45-60 minutes.
The primary uses for dermal fillers include:
JUVÉDERM® is one the most well-known and popular dermal filler brands. They make several products, all formulated with hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring sugar in our bodies that adds suppleness, hydration, and elasticity to the skin. These products include:

The RHA® collection is a group of designer hyaluronic acid fillers that are FDA-approved to treat dynamic wrinkles and folds. Because we are repetitively making micro-movements with our face, such as squinting or laughing, it creates these dynamic areas that are harder to treat with dermal filler. Dermal filler traditionally would’ve made these areas appear too stiff or unnatural when the face is moving.
The RHA® collection was created and designed to adapt comfortably for your facial movement. These fillers look more natural both when your face is moving and at rest.
Some of the key benefits to RHA® filler are:
RHA® filler can be used for:
RHA2 is used for anyone looking to have a natural lip plump. It can also be used to fill and smooth fine lines and wrinkles around the face.
RHA3 is used if you feel that an area of your face needs a lift. This filler can target deeper wrinkles and folds– around the nasolabial area, lip corners, and jowls.
RHA4 is used to target deep wrinkles specifically in the cheeks and jowls. It brings volume to those areas and can be used to contour the cheeks and jawline.
The RHA® collection can only be found in select practices that have been chosen based on reputation for having the best patient outcomes. We are proud to be able to offer this brand to our patients at PotozkinMD.
