If you get filler and box expiration date is next month, will the filler go bad in your lip the day of expiration?

Thank you first of all, for asking this question. I've recorded a short video answering this question for you. I hope you find this helpful.

Hi, thanks for your question. The date of expiration refers to the deadline by which the filler should be injected, it does not mean that the filler will go bad once injected. As long as it is injected before the expiration date you have nothing to worry about. Please speak to your provider about any concerns that you might have.

Thank you for sharing your question. In simple terms, no the filler will not go bad the day after expiration, it is just advised that it is used before that deadline.

Dear Chrisannbe,
you should be safe as long as the filler is used prior to expiration date.

Fillers should ideally be used before the expiration date. The filler will not go bad or go away on the expiration date though, so it could be injected anytime before the expiration date and the result will be the same as a filler with a further expiration date.

Hi, Thank you for your question!The answer is "no". To the best of my knowledge, the longevity of the product, once injected, should be the same as long as the product has not expired.

The expiration date applies only to the date by which the product should be injected. It does not apply to product once it has been injected. As long as you receive the filler treatment by the expiration date you should be fine.

HI there,
As long as the product is placed in your lips before the expiration date you are fine. The expiration date is that at at which is shelf stable. once in you lips, that date is no longer applicable.

All expiration dates are set significantly before the product will actually expire. In fact many studies have shown that most products are good for up to 5 years after the "Expiration Date." Therefore, there is plenty of safety built into the date. That date is also calculated on storage in the syringe. Once injected, the filler is back in its natural environment and the expiration date no longer applies.
