Restore expressive, natural-looking volume with the RHA® Collection in Palo Alto. These dermal fillers soften dynamic wrinkles, smooth fine lines, and enhance facial contours while preserving natural movement. At Leader Plastic Surgery, double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Brittany Leader tailors every treatment with artistry to help you look refreshed.
What Is the RHA Collection?
Smooth Wrinkles While Preserving Expressions
The RHA Collection is a line of resilient hyaluronic acid fillers that smooth wrinkles and restore volume while adapting to natural facial movement. Unlike traditional fillers, RHA formulations are engineered to remain flexible, making them particularly effective for dynamic areas of the face such as the mouth and cheeks. During treatment, precise amounts of filler are injected beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula to soften lines, enhance contours, and restore support. Dr. Leader carefully places the filler to achieve balanced, natural-looking facial rejuvenation.

Bespoke. Artful. Restrained.
Dr. Leader believes injectables should enhance your natural beauty without ever looking obvious.

Her philosophy is simple: you should still look like yourself, just more refreshed and well-rested.
Dr. Leader’s approach blends meticulous surgical training with a lifelong appreciation for artistry. As a board-certified surgeon fellowship-trained in Beverly Hills under Dr. Babak Azizzadeh and Dr. Paul Nassif, she understands the subtleties of facial balance and expressions.

RHA Collection FAQs
What Makes the RHA Collection Different From Other Fillers?
The RHA Collection is designed specifically for areas of the face that move frequently when you smile, talk, or laugh. The hyaluronic acid in these fillers is resilient and formulated to remain flexible, allowing the filler to move naturally with your facial expressions. This helps soften wrinkles while maintaining a natural, expressive look.
How Long Do RHA Fillers Last?
The results typically last 6 to 18 months, depending on the specific product used, the area treated, and how quickly your body metabolizes the filler. Many patients choose periodic maintenance treatments to keep their results looking fresh and balanced.
Is There Any Downtime After RHA Injections?
Downtime is typically minimal. You may notice mild swelling, redness, or occasional bruising at the injection sites right after treatment. These effects are usually temporary and tend to improve within a few days. Most patients feel comfortable returning to normal daily activities the same day, though Dr. Leader may recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for about 24 hours.
