Teosyal RHA® 4
Filler that moves the way you do.
Your face is never still. It smiles, talks, frowns and laughs all day, so the filler in it should be able to keep up. Your doctor uses this hyaluronic acid gel to bring back volume in the cheeks and give the jaw and chin a clearer line, without stiffness.

Is this for you?
It may be if you…
- Have lost volume in the face with age
- Want more definition at the jaw or chin
- Have deep folds that come partly from lost volume
Please wait if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have an active skin infection, certain allergies or some medical conditions. Your doctor will talk this through with you first.
How it works: volume that moves with you
Teoxane, the maker, cross-links the gel but keeps its long hyaluronic acid chains intact. The result is a filler that flexes with each expression and holds the volume your doctor placed. RHA stands for Resilient Hyaluronic Acid.
RHA® 4 is made for the wide areas of the face that move most. There it brings back projection, shapes a contour or softens a deep fold, all without that stiff, filled look. The gel contains lidocaine to ease the injections, and numbing cream can be added if you would like it.
Where it can be used
Cheeks, Cheekbones, Midface, Lower-face contours, Chin, Jawline
What to expect
- Straight away
You see the change as soon as you sit up.
- Day 1 to 7
Swelling, redness, tenderness or bruising can last several days.
- Day 7 to 14
Swelling makes the area look fuller until the gel settles. Your doctor reviews the result then.
- Longer term
Teoxane advises it lasts 15 to 18 months, depending on the area, the amount and your metabolism.
Results vary, and your doctor will tell you what to expect for your own face.

Your visit, step by step
Before
- Tell your doctor what you take, including blood thinners and aspirin
- Mention any filler already in the area, and any botulinum toxin or filler in the last four months
- Skip alcohol the day before, as it can increase bruising
- Book at least 15 days after dental work, and away from vaccinations, peels and laser
- Arrive with clean skin and little makeup on the area
The day
Your doctor watches your face at rest, then as you talk and smile, and plans where the gel should sit before marking the skin. The gel goes in by fine needle or cannula and may be shaped afterwards. You can expect pressure or brief discomfort.

Questions people ask
RHA® 4 is made for wide, moving areas of the face and for deep folds that come partly from lost volume. For very fine lines, your doctor will tell you whether another treatment would be better for you.
Yes. Because RHA® 4 is made of hyaluronic acid, your doctor can dissolve it if needed.
It depends on your face, the area and the result you want, and your doctor will plan it with you at your consultation.
Please tell your doctor about every medicine you take, including blood thinners and aspirin. Do not stop any prescribed medicine unless the doctor who prescribed it says so.
Move, smile, be you.
Start with a consultation. Your doctor will study your face at rest and in motion, and tell you honestly what RHA® 4 can do for it.
