Dermal fillers have become a trusted, non-surgical solution for restoring volume, enhancing facial contours, and smoothing wrinkles. If you're considering this treatment, one of the first questions you will likely ask is: How long do dermal fillers last? The answer depends on several factors, including the type of filler used, the area treated, and individual metabolism.

As a leading provider of facial aesthetic treatments in Henderson, NV, Dr. Marielaina Perrone, DDS, brings her extensive expertise to offer insightful guidance on what patients can expect regarding filler longevity.

Common Types of Dermal Fillers and Their Duration

Most dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps hydrate and plump the skin. Popular HA fillers include Juvederm®, Restylane®, and Belotero®. Each product has its unique formulation designed for specific treatment areas.

Juvederm® Family

  • Juvederm Ultra XC / Ultra Plus XC: 6 to 12 months (lips, nasolabial folds)
  • Juvederm Voluma™ XC: Up to 2 years (cheeks, mid-face)
  • Juvederm Vollure™ XC: Up to 18 months (smile lines)
  • Juvederm Volbella™ XC: Up to 12 months (lips, under-eyes)

Restylane® Line

  • Restylane Lyft: 12 to 18 months (cheeks, hands)
  • Restylane Kysse: Up to 1 year (lips)
  • Restylane Refyne/Defyne: Around 12 months (smile lines, marionette lines)

Factors That Influence How Long Fillers Last

While manufacturer guidelines give a general estimate, how long dermal fillers last can vary depending on:

  • Treatment Area: Areas with more movement (like the lips) may break down filler faster than areas like the cheeks.
  • Product Type: Thicker, cross-linked fillers last longer than softer, more flexible ones.
  • Patient Metabolism: Individuals with faster metabolisms may break down filler more quickly.
  • Injection Technique: Proper placement by an experienced provider affects longevity and results.
