Before beginning treatment, one of our skilled plastic surgeons will treat your skin with a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Once this cream has taken effect, your surgeon will make a series of precisely positioned injections into the target areas of your skin. For optimal results, most patients require one to two units of RHA, administered in about 30 minutes.
Since these injections also contain the anesthetic lidocaine, the treatment area may feel numb for a few hours afterward. Immediately after your treatment, your doctor may massage your face to disperse the filler throughout the injection site.
You may schedule touch-ups two to four weeks after you have received the injections.
