Restylane can last from 8 months to 3 years, depending on what part of the face is treated.

Hi. With fillers in general, the more motion there is in the area (like between the brows), the less it will last.

How Long does Restylane Last?

The duration for Restylane is dependent on the amount of product used and the area of the face. For our practice the duration varies between 3 months and 1 year for Restylane. A higher volume of product will generally increase duration, but this needs to be balanced with an amount that looks natural. The reason that the area of the face matters is that the product is metabolized by the body (broken down) over a shorter period of time in areas of the face with constant movement... more

Restylane Duration

In general, any of the hyaluronic injectables (Restylane or Juvederm) should last about a year.

Some patients report noticing a difference for up to 18 months, but the average is about one year.
