What is the average shelf life for unopened fillers?

Thank you for your question. Unopened fillers usually has a shelf life of 2 to 3 years. It is unlikely that they would use an expired dermal filler. In doubt, just ask your injector. All the best, Dr. Michon

That is a good question StaceyVk.  When fillers are received by our office they usually have 2-4 years of self life depending on the product.  Your injector should have a record of the material used and its lot number indication the expiration date. In reality most fillers are still good long past the expiration date.  However, we are careful not to go past the listed expiration date. All the best,

This depends on the product used. All fillers have an expiry date. I would ask your injector directly the expiry date of the filler. 

Thank you for your question StecaeyVk.
I understand your concern. Fillers are used to restore lost volume in and
enhance the appearance of the face. The shelf life of most fillers is approximately one to two years. This is variable and depends on the manufacturer. In our office we record the lot number and expiration date which are provided with each product in the patient's medical record. If the expiration number is not available the manufacturer may be able to determine it from the lot number. Please consult with a doctor for specific
recommendations.  Good luck!

Hi and thanks for your question. The average shelf life is 1-2 years and it can be more . I doubt that they use an expired fille. 

Expiration dates vary with the product and how old it was when purchased. I have fillers that have over 2 years to expire. There is a tag on fillers that I place on the patients chart. It documents the expiration date. Best Wishes, Maurice Vick MD
