An advanced hyaluronic acid filler engineered to move with your face. RHA adapts to dynamic facial expressions for results that look natural in motion, not just at rest.
Volume loss, fine lines, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, lip enhancement, and facial areas with significant movement. RHA is specifically designed for patients who want filler that looks and feels natural during facial expressions, not just in the mirror.
RHA filler is manufactured using a gentle cross-linking process that preserves the natural structure of hyaluronic acid, allowing it to stretch and bounce with your facial movement. Once injected, it integrates with your tissue to restore volume and smooth lines while flexing naturally as you talk, smile, and express.
We carry RHA because some faces need a filler that performs in motion. Our Lincoln Park injectors assess whether RHA is the right product for your specific anatomy and goals during consultation. It's about matching the filler to the patient, not the other way around.
We're here to answer your questions and provide the best services for your needs. Schedule a consultation to learn how to reach your aesthetic goals.
"I came in 2 weeks ago for their Green Peel, which is a natural facial peel formulated with algae. It was my first time doing a skin peel so I was a bit anxious, but my tech Priscilla did a great job of informing me about the treatment throughout the process and about the aftercare."
"I got the Personalized Facial with a complimentary skin consultation with Xia. And it was so beyond amazing. This was by far one of the most intensive facials that I have ever gotten and I loved how much attention to detail Xia had throughout our entire session."

"The Glass Facial was amazing. They specialize in Korean Beauty and only use products gentle for your skin unlike many Western treatments. My skin looks great even days later. I still have a glow and glass look with just simple skin care and moisturizing like I normally do. I definitely recommend this salon and suggest you try the K-Beauty services!"

"It has been a month since I got Rejuran, and at least six people have complimented my skin since then! Izzy is amazing, her technique is professional and surprisingly painless, but what impressed me the most is her sense of aesthetics. She really listened to what I wanted, communicated actively with me, and confirmed everything carefully until I felt completely comfortable."

"I had my very first facial today with Hailey and it was such a great experience! I booked the aromatherapy, dermaplaning, glass skin facial, and LED light treatment, and she walked me through every step so I felt comfortable the whole time. She made sure I was comfortable and explained what each product was doing. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends!"

"Grace did a fantastic job. I don't have anything to compare it with, but the full service felt amazing. I was surprised by the number of steps included and how involved it ended up being. Head massage, facial massage, neck and shoulder massage, forearm and hand massage, all while working through multiple steps of the facial cleanse and treatment process. It was great. I'll be back again."

RHA filler is a next-generation hyaluronic acid dermal filler that adapts naturally to your facial movements, delivering volume restoration, wrinkle correction, and contour enhancement that looks and feels remarkably natural. At Better Med Spa in Lincoln Park, our expert injectors use RHA's unique resilient technology to smooth lines, restore volume, and refine your facial contours -- all while maintaining the natural flexibility of your expressions.
Better Med Spa & Wellness is Lincoln Park's destination for advanced RHA filler treatments. Located at 2117 N Halsted St, Chicago, IL 60614, our practice combines a Korean-inspired aesthetic philosophy with meticulous injection techniques to create results that are soft, lifted, and authentically you.
All RHA filler treatments at Better Med Spa are performed under the medical oversight of board-certified physician Dr. Brett Brechner and administered by licensed aesthetic injectors who specialize in advanced filler placement and facial anatomy.
RHA (Resilient Hyaluronic Acid) represents a significant advancement in dermal filler technology. Developed by Revance Aesthetics, the RHA collection is the first and only FDA-approved HA filler line designed specifically to adapt to the dynamic movements of your face - meaning it looks natural whether you're smiling, frowning, talking, or at rest.
We serve clients from Lincoln Park, Old Town, Lakeview, Bucktown, Wicker Park, River North, Gold Coast, and neighborhoods across Chicago. Our location is steps from the Armitage Brown Line stop with convenient street parking along N Halsted St.
RHA filler is manufactured using a gentle, low-temperature process that preserves the natural structure and crosslinking of hyaluronic acid. This is fundamentally different from traditional HA fillers (like Juvederm and Restylane), which use more aggressive manufacturing methods that alter the HA molecule.
The result is a filler that closely mimics your skin's own hyaluronic acid, giving it three key advantages:
- Natural flexibility: RHA stretches and compresses with your facial muscles instead of sitting rigidly under the skin
- Smoother integration: The preserved HA structure integrates seamlessly with your tissue for a soft, natural feel
- Longer duration: RHA's resilient structure resists breakdown, providing results that can last up to 15 months
During treatment, your injector uses an ultra-fine needle or cannula to place RHA filler precisely into the target area. The filler immediately adds volume and smooths lines, with full results visible within about two weeks as any minor swelling resolves.
The RHA collection includes several formulations optimized for different facial areas and concerns. Your injector will select the ideal RHA variant based on your specific treatment goals.
We believe in transparent, straightforward pricing with no hidden fees:
- Single syringe of RHA filler: $800
- 3-syringe package: $2,160 (save $240, originally $2,400)
- Pricing by treatment area: The number of syringes depends on the area being treated and the degree of volume loss. Your injector will recommend the right amount during your consultation.
Common treatment volumes:
- Lips: 1 syringe for most patients
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines): 1 to 2 syringes
- Cheeks: 1 to 3 syringes per side depending on volume loss
- Marionette lines: 1 to 2 syringes
- Jawline contouring: 2 to 4 syringes

Why we recommend RHA: At Better Med Spa, our K-Beauty philosophy prioritizes natural-looking results that honor your unique facial expressions. RHA's ability to adapt to movement makes it our top recommendation for patients who want filler that looks beautiful in motion, not just in the mirror. That said, we offer multiple filler types and your injector will always recommend what's best for your specific anatomy and goals.
RHA filler effectively addresses a wide range of facial concerns. Common treatment areas at our Lincoln Park location include:
- Lips: Add natural-looking volume, define borders, and enhance the cupid's bow with filler that moves naturally when you speak, smile, and kiss
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines): Smooth the lines that run from your nose to the corners of your mouth for a more refreshed appearance
- Marionette lines: Soften the lines that run from the corners of your mouth downward, which can create a tired or sad expression
- Cheeks: Restore youthful volume to the mid-face, lifting and contouring your cheekbones for a naturally sculpted look
- Chin: Improve chin projection and smooth chin creasing for a more balanced profile
- Jawline: Define and contour the jawline for a sharper, more structured appearance
- Temples: Restore volume to hollow temples, which can create an aged or gaunt appearance
- Perioral lines: Smooth the vertical lines around the mouth (smoker's lines) that form with age and repetitive muscle movement
Consultation (5-10 minutes): Your injector examines your facial anatomy, discusses your aesthetic goals, and creates a personalized treatment plan. We'll explain how many syringes we recommend, which RHA formulation is ideal for your treatment area, and what results you can realistically expect.
Numbing (10-15 minutes): A prescription-strength topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to maximize your comfort. RHA filler also contains lidocaine, a built-in local anesthetic that numbs as it's injected.
Treatment (20-45 minutes): Your injector places RHA filler precisely into the target areas using an ultra-fine needle or cannula. Treatment time varies depending on how many areas are being addressed. You'll see results in real time and can provide feedback throughout the process.
Immediately after: Expect mild swelling, tenderness, and possible light bruising at the injection sites. This is normal and typically resolves within 24 to 72 hours.
Aftercare guidelines:
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
- Do not massage or press on treated areas for 48 hours
- Avoid extreme heat (saunas, hot yoga) for 48 hours
- Sleep on your back the first night if possible
Results timeline: You'll see immediate improvement. Minor swelling resolves over 3 to 7 days, revealing your final results. The full benefit of RHA continues to improve over 2 to 4 weeks as the filler settles and integrates with your tissue. Results last up to 15 months.
