How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
Dermal fillers have become a popular choice for those seeking to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. But how long do these fillers actually last? In this blog post, we'll delve into the factors that influence the duration of dermal fillers and what you can expect from your treatment experience.
Understanding The Duration Of Dermal Fillers
Overview Of Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to add volume and smooth out wrinkles.
Average Longevity Of Dermal Fillers
At the Face, we are currently using Restylane but are considering incorporating other brands to provide you with the most diverse range.
Restylane fillers typically last between 6 to 12 months (sometimes longer), depending on various factors like the area treated and individual metabolism.
Benefits Of Restylane
Restylane offers several benefits, making it a preferred choice for many:
- Natural-Looking Results: Restylane provides smooth, natural-looking results.
- Versatility: Suitable for various facial areas including cheeks, lips, chin and jawline.
- Immediate Results: Noticeable improvements right after the treatment.
- Minimal Downtime: Quick recovery period, allowing you to resume daily activities shortly after the procedure.
- Proven Safety: Extensive clinical studies supporting its safety and efficacy.
Areas We Use Fillers
At The Face, we use fillers to treat various areas:
- Lips: Enhancing volume and definition.
- Cheeks: Restoring lost volume and contouring.
- Nasolabial Folds: Smoothing deep lines between the nose and mouth.
- Marionette Lines: Reducing lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin.
- Chin and Jawline: Providing definition and structure to the lower face.
Factors Influencing The Duration Of Dermal Fillers
Skin Metabolism And Age
Younger patients tend to metabolise fillers more quickly due to their faster metabolism, whereas older patients may experience longer-lasting results.
Injection Technique And Depth
The skill and technique of the injector, as well as the depth at which the filler is injected, significantly affect longevity. Superficial injections tend to break down faster.
Product Composition And Quality
Restylane is known for its high-quality formulation, providing reliable and long-lasting results.
3 Tips For Prolonging Dermal Fillers
1. Aftercare Tips
Proper aftercare can help extend the effects of Restylane and other fillers. Avoid massaging the treated area, minimise sun exposure, and stay well-hydrated.
2. Lifestyle Habits
Healthy habits such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can help prolong the longevity of fillers.
3. Touch-Up Treatments
Regular touch-up treatments can maintain and extend the results of dermal fillers, keeping your skin looking youthful and refreshed.
