Facial volume can have the effect of making us look younger and more attractive. Full, defined cheeks and soft, plump lips look healthy and vibrant. If you want to restore or enhance your facial features, dermal fillers can help. These injectable treatments address everything from deep creases to thin lips.
As you get older, your skin begins to lose elasticity. The muscles and fat on your face start thinning, too. These changes can lead to the appearance of wrinkles and skin that’s not as smooth or full as it used to be.
Dermal fillers, or “wrinkle fillers” as they’re sometimes called, can help address these age-related issues by:
Erasing fine lines
Plumping lips
Diminishing scars
Rejuvenating hands
Restoring fullness under the eyes, in deep creases, and the cheeks
Lifting the brow or a downturned mouth
According to the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, dermal fillers consist of gel-like substances, such as hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, and poly-L-lactic acid, that your doctor injects beneath the skin.
Most of our patients are thrilled with their results, but if you're not completely happy, hyaluronic acid fillers are reversible. Your plastic surgeon can inject an enzyme that dissolves your filler until you are happy with your facial contour.
You might be wondering how long your dermal fillers will last.
The answer is somewhere between six months and a year, but that can vary depending on the type of filler used, where it’s put and who gets it.
The material itself. Some materials have longer lifespans than others. For example, hyaluronic acid (HA) lasts about 6-12 months in most cases;
The kind of filler the doctor uses affects longevity, but other factors are also. For example, some parts of the face metabolize the filler faster than others. Also, the mouth area is used a lot, so facial fillers used there may not last as long.
Other factors in filler longevity are how much filler material the doctor uses and how quickly your body metabolizes the product.
Dermal fillers undergo a natural breakdown process within the body over time. The duration of their effectiveness varies depending on factors we’ve already discussed, as well as the thickness of your skin, your body’s natural ability to metabolize the filler, how deeply the filler is injected, and more.
Like other cosmetic treatments, longevity depends on many factors, including lifestyle and overall health.
However, here are three ways to increase the longevity of your facial fillers:
Adapt a Skin Care Routine: Make sure you are taking good care of your skin after a filler treatment by using high end, medical-grade skin care products that keep your skin hydrated and healthy. Make sure that you use these products twice a day, morning and evening, or as directed by your esthetician.
Protect Your Skin: You can protect your gorgeous results by protecting your skin. Wear an SPF of 30 or higher every single day, rain or shine. The sun breaks down the collagen and hyaluronic acid in our skin at a much faster rate. If your skin is exposed to too much sun, the results of your dermal fillers won’t last as long as they’re able to.
Maintain A Healthy Lifestyle: If you’re a smoker, it’s best to quit a few weeks before your dermal filler treatment and never return to the habit. You should also try to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine that promotes good blood circulation in the skin. Also, drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within.
Most people are good candidates for fillers, particularly fillers that are formulated with hyaluronic acid. Because hyaluronic acid is found naturally in your skin, it can be considered a hypoallergenic product since it is very unlikely to cause any allergic reaction. Fillers can be used by people of all skin types and skin tones, and this treatment can also be used at any age.
Some people like to use these treatments or volume restoration while others may like to use this treatment to contour the face to achieve a specific aesthetic goal. You may not be able to use these treatments if you are pregnant or if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in the product formulas.
The duration of dermal fillers can vary depending on factors such as the type of filler used, the treated area, and individual factors like metabolism and lifestyle choices.
On average, hyaluronic acid fillers can last between 6 and 18 months, but this can vary. By consulting with a qualified healthcare professional and following their recommendations, individuals can achieve optimal and long-lasting results from dermal filler treatments.
