Choosing between lip fillers can feel overwhelming. At Aurivita Medspa, we offer both RHA and Versa fillers because each has unique strengths. This guide will help you understand which option aligns best with your goals.
Understanding the Basics
Both RHA and Versa are hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that provides hydration and volume. The key difference lies in how they’re formulated and what they’re designed to do.
What Makes RHA Special
RHA (resilient hyaluronic acid) is the first FDA-approved filler specifically designed for dynamic areas of your face; the parts that move constantly when you smile, talk, and make expressions.
Key Features:
- Adapts to facial movement for natural results both at rest and in motion
- Uses gentle, heatless manufacturing that preserves the natural structure of HA
- Ideal for treating dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated expressions
- Available in different strengths (RHA 2, RHA 3, RHA 4) for various needs
Best For:
- Natural lip enhancement with flexibility
- Smile lines and marionette lines
- Areas around the mouth and eyes that move frequently
- Those who want results that move naturally with their face
Duration: Up to 15 months
What Makes Revanesse Versa Special
Revanesse Versa is known for its uniform particle size thanks to proprietary Thixofix technology, which creates smooth, spherical particles that allow for precise, even injection.
Key Features:
- Uniform particle structure for smooth, consistent results
- Advanced manufacturing removes impurities
- Typically causes less swelling than other fillers
- Versatile for multiple treatment areas
Best For:
- Subtle, refined lip enhancement
- Smoothing nasolabial folds
- Adding volume to cheeks
- Budget-conscious clients seeking quality results
- Those concerned about post-treatment swelling
Duration: 9-12 months
How to Choose: Questions to Ask Yourself
Choose RHA if you:
- Want results that look natural when your face is in motion
- Are treating areas that move frequently (lips, around mouth)
- Prefer longer-lasting results
- Want the latest innovation in filler technology
- Don’t mind investing more for extended longevity
Choose Versa if you:
- Want subtle, refined enhancement
- Are concerned about post-treatment swelling
- Prefer a more budget-friendly option
- Are treating multiple areas in one session
- Want natural-looking results at a great value
What to Expect During Treatment
Both procedures are quick and comfortable, typically taking 15-30 minutes:
- Consultation: We’ll discuss your goals and assess your facial anatomy
- Preparation: The treatment area is cleaned and may be numbed
- Injection: Precise placement using fine needles
- Results: Immediate visible enhancement that improve over time
Recovery: Minimal downtime with both fillers. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising that typically resolves within a few days.
Caring for Your Results
To maximize longevity with either filler:
- Stay well-hydrated
- Use SPF 30+ on lips and face daily
- Avoid excessive heat (saunas, hot yoga) for 24-48 hours post-treatment
- Follow all aftercare instructions from your provider
- Schedule maintenance appointments as recommended
