Injectable fillers help you enjoy a youthful look without surgery. They plump lips, enhance facial volume, and smooth fine lines, helping you enjoy a refreshed look.
If you are considering them, you may be asking, “How long do injectables last?” Our providers at Associated Plastic Surgeons & Med Spa are here to answer your questions.
Hyaluronic acid fillers, including Juvéderm and Restylane, add volume to your skin by attracting water underneath the treatment area. These fillers usually last between six and 18 months, depending on the product and treatment area.
Hyaluronic acid injectables typically last only six months to one year on your lips due to the frequent movement in this area. They can last up to 18 months on your cheeks and under-eye areas, and 12 months on your smile lines.
Calcium hydroxylapatite fillers like Radiesse are often helpful for treating deeper lines and adding volume to your cheeks. These injections usually last between one year and 18 months. In areas with less movement, like the cheeks, results may last longer.
Sculptra and other poly-L-lactic acid fillers stimulate collagen production over time. Though they work more gradually than other fillers, you may have more natural-looking results that last for a longer time. You may need multiple sessions for optimal results, but the effects of poly-L-lactic acid fillers can last up to two years.
Bellafill and other fillers with Polymethyl methacrylate, or PMMA, are considered semi-permanent. They consist of small, biocompatible beads that stimulate collagen production to enhance your facial volume. Results with these injectables can last up to five years, making them a good option if you are interested in long-term results.
