The Lifespan of Different Dermal Fillers
Not all dermal fillers break down at the same rate. Hyaluronic acid fillers, such as those in the Juvederm and Restylane families, typically last between six months and two years.
Collagen-stimulating fillers, like Radiesse and Sculptra, work differently by triggering the body’s natural collagen production. These fillers take longer to show full results, but they can last up to two years as the body builds new collagen.
Softer formulas used for delicate areas, like the lips or fine lines, tend to break down faster. On the other hand, denser fillers designed for structural support in the cheeks or midface generally last longer.
What Affects How Long My Fillers Will Last?
Besides the type of filler, several other factors influence their lifespan, including:
- Injection area: Fillers in areas with frequent movement, like the lips, tend to break down faster than those in the cheeks or under the eyes.
- Metabolism: People with faster metabolisms may notice their fillers break down more quickly.
- Lifestyle habits: Smoking, frequent exercise, and too much sun exposure can make fillers wear off sooner.
- Maintenance treatments: Touch-ups help extend the life of fillers and keep results looking fresh.
How Often Do You Need Maintenance Treatments for Fillers?
The timing for maintenance treatments depends on the type of filler and what you’re aiming for. Many people return to us every six to twelve months, while people who use collagen-stimulating fillers may need less frequent treatments.
