Have you been considering dermal fillers to smooth wrinkles, restore volume, or enhance your facial features? If so, you might also be wondering how long your results will last.
Dermal fillers are an effective, non-surgical solution to common aging concerns. However, their lifespan depends on several factors, including the type of filler used, the area treated, and your body’s metabolism.
At Spa Sydell Integrative Aesthetics in Atlanta, our skilled cosmetic injectors provide personalized filler treatments designed to meet your unique goals. We combine medical expertise with a luxury spa experience to help you look and feel refreshed. Learn more about dermal filler longevity below.
Types of Dermal Fillers and Their Lifespan
Filler type plays a major role in how long your results last. Some of the most popular fillers include:
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers: Brands like JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® generally last 6 to 18 months, depending on the formulation and targeted location. HA fillers are popular for lips, cheeks, and nasolabial folds.
- Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers: Radiesse® offers longer-lasting effects — usually 12 to 18 months — and is often used for deeper lines and facial contouring.
- Poly-L-lactic Acid Fillers: Sculptra® gradually stimulates collagen production and may last up to 2 years.
Other Factors That Influence Filler Longevity
In addition to filler type, several other elements can affect how long your outcomes last:
- Treatment Area: Areas with greater movement, such as the lips, may see results fade faster.
- Metabolism: Those with faster metabolisms may notice that their bodies break down filler more quickly.
- Lifestyle: Sun exposure, smoking, and intense exercise can impact how long fillers last.
Maintaining Your Results
Regular touch-up appointments help maintain your appearance over time. Staying hydrated, sticking to a consistent skincare routine, and avoiding excessive sun exposure can also prolong the life of your fillers.
Your provider at Spa Sydell will develop a customized plan based on your aesthetic goals and your body’s response.
