When Will Evolence Finally Degrade/dissolve? I got Evolence injections 16 months ago, in the wrinkles at the sides of my mouth and also directly under my lower lip in both corners. I was unhappy with the Evolence from the start, especially the lumps under my lips. I was told the Evolence would last about 6-10 months. Now I'm beginning to wonder if it is permanent! 16 months and the Evolence is still there. Will it ever go away?
A: evolence may take up to two years to dissolve

Evolence is not considered a permanent filler. Be patient and you should find that it does all go away, but it might take another six months or more. Your doctor might try to help you by reducing the amount of collagen that is in your filled areas, or at least, to examine you and ensure that nothing else is causing the volume, such as a chronic reaction to the product.

How is Evolence Different from Restylane or Juvederm Injections?

How is this new filler Evolence different from the HA fillers we know and love, i.e. Restylane or Juvederm?

A: How Evolence differ from the other fillers

Evolence is a porcine (pig) collagen-based filler. Unlike the first generation collagen fillers, Zyplast and Zyderm which are bovine (cow) derived, skin test is not required. There tends to be less swelling associated with Evolence, as compared to some of the hyaluronic acid fillers Restylane and Juvederm. Therefore, the correction one gets with Evolence is typically exactly the same as immediately post-injection- what you see is what you get.

Unlike the the hyaluronic acid based fillers, Evolence is not a filler that should be injected in the lips or the tear troughs due to the potential of lumps and nodules to form. Evolence also lasts longer than the hyaluronic acid based fillers- up to one year
