When you’re considering dermal fillers, the sheer number of options can feel overwhelming. Traditional hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are a popular choice known for their immediate results, but what if you’re looking for something different?
For patients who want more dynamic results that age gracefully and move with you, Sculptra®, a collagen stimulator, and the RHA® Collection, a line of fillers designed to adapt to your facial expressions, offer unmatched longevity and a refreshingly natural look.
The Collagen Stimulating Effects of Sculptra
Traditional fillers add volume to specific areas to smooth away lines, wrinkles and creases. Sculptra, a collagen stimulator, works differently. Instead of “filling in” wrinkles with hyaluronic acid, Sculptra stimulates the long-term production of collagen with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) microparticles, a safe and FDA-approved substance that restores lost volume from within.
With Sculptra, your results look completely natural because they are. By increasing your body’s own collagen production, Sculptra helps rebuild the structural foundation of your skin, delivering lasting improvements that develop over several months and last for two years or more.
As collagen production peaks, the skin gains fullness. You’ll also notice enhanced skin quality, texture and elasticity. Since these effects appear gradually, Sculptra provides subtle and natural-looking rejuvenation. Instead of asking what kind of treatment or procedure you’ve had done, your friends will just notice that you look beautifully refreshed and revitalized.
The Flexibility of the RHA Collection
Traditional HA fillers can sometimes create stiffness or an unnatural appearance, particularly in more dynamic areas with a lot of movement, such as around the lips and mouth.
The RHA Collection solves this challenge with an advanced, uniquely flexible gel that moves with you. Made using a heatless manufacturing process to create a resilient HA formula, the RHA Collection adapts to every facial expression for beautiful, natural-looking results.
The RHA collection includes four special formulas, each designed for specific treatment goals:
- RHA 2 provides gentle correction for moderate lines and works beautifully for subtle lip enhancement or delicate undereye treatment.
- RHA 3 addresses deeper creases while maintaining flexibility in dynamic areas like nasolabial folds.
- RHA 4 offers comprehensive correction for severe wrinkles and can enhance facial contours without compromising natural expression.
- RHA Redensity targets vertical lip lines, being the only FDA-approved filler designed for both superficial and deeper placement in this delicate area.
Because RHA fillers adapt to your movements rather than restricting them, they tend to last longer than other brands. When your filler moves harmoniously with you, it experiences less stress and degradation, creating sustained and natural-looking results that age gracefully.
Working With Your Skin, Not Against It
While many injectable treatments are all about instant gratification, delivering results you can see right away, Sculptra and the RHA Collection are designed to provide more gradual improvements. These advanced treatments work with your body’s natural processes rather than adding immediate volume that may look out of place as your features evolve over time.
Sculptra’s collagen-stimulating effects not only soften the appearance of lines and wrinkles but also restore your skin’s structural support. The RHA Collection’s flexible gel ensures your results adapt gracefully as your face changes. Both treatments provide a natural appearance because they integrate with your own tissue rather than simply occupying space.
Which Treatment Is Right for Me?
Making the choice between traditional fillers and advanced options like Sculptra or the RHA Collection depends on your goals, lifestyle and preferences. If you’re looking for more immediate and dramatic changes, standard dermal fillers might be your best bet. However, if you value natural-looking results that improve over time and require less frequent maintenance, Sculptra and the RHA Collection deserve serious consideration.
During your consultation at Resurrect Skin MD, we’ll evaluate your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals and create a personalized treatment plan that may include one or both of these innovative options. Our goal is always to help you achieve results that look like the best version of yourself: refreshed, rejuvenated, and completely natural.

Combining Both Treatments for Comprehensive Results
At RSMD, many patients find that combining Sculptra and RHA fillers provides the most comprehensive and natural-looking results. This strategic approach allows us to address different aspects of facial aging while maximizing the unique benefits of each product.
A typical combination might involve using Sculptra to restore overall facial volume in areas like the cheeks and temples, while an RHA filler targets specific concerns, such as nasolabial folds or marionette lines. While you enjoy the immediate results from RHA fillers, Sculptra continues working behind the scenes to build collagen and enhance your skin’s foundation.
What to Expect During Treatment
Both Sculptra and RHA fillers are administered comfortably in our office, though each offers a distinctly different experience. Sculptra sessions typically take about 30-45 minutes and involve a series of small injections using a very fine needle. Since Sculptra works gradually, you won’t see dramatic changes immediately. Instead, you’ll notice subtle improvements emerging over the following weeks and months as your collagen production increases.
RHA injections provide immediate visible results and usually take 15-30 minutes to complete, depending on the areas treated. The flexible gel integrates smoothly into your tissue, and you can see the enhancement right away. Both treatments involve minimal discomfort, and we can apply a topical numbing cream, if requested. You’ll be able to sit back and relax in a massaging chair in one of our beautifully designed numbing rooms while it takes effect.
The recovery for both treatments is straightforward, with most patients returning to work and normal activities the same day. You may experience some mild swelling or tenderness at injection sites, but this typically resolves within a few days. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to optimize your results and ensure the smoothest possible healing process.
