How Long Do Different Wrinkle Fillers Last?

Thank you for your question about how long injectable fillers last.  Different fillers last different amounts of time, and the location injected can also dictate how long the fillers will last.  Areas of the face with a lot of movement, such as the mouth/lips, won't last as long as other areas such as the nose and lateral cheeks.  Longevity is also dependent on the product and the amount injected.  Voluma is indicated to last "up to" two years.  Vollure up to 18 months. Volbella up to a year. and Juvederm ultra and ultra plus, usually 8 months.  Also, it does not just disappear all at once, but rather slowly regresses over time.  Therefore it is often advised to do touch up visits to keep the areas maintained.  
To be sure, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

The longevity of wrinkle fillers varies by type:

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers (such as Juvederm and Restylane): These typically last 6 to 18 months, depending on the specific product used and the area treated.

Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers (like Radiesse): These last about 12 to 18 months, offering a slightly longer duration due to the thicker consistency.

Poly-L-lactic Acid Fillers (such as Sculptra): These are considered "semi-permanent" as they can last 2 years or more; they stimulate collagen production for longer-lasting results.

Polymethylmethacrylate Beads (PMMA) (like Bellafill): These are permanent fillers, used for deep wrinkles and volume restoration.

Each type's effectiveness and duration can also depend on the area treated, the amount of product used, and individual factors like skin type and lifestyle. Always consult with a qualified professional to determine the best type of filler for your needs.

The duration of a filler will depend on numerous factors, including the specific filler used, the treatment area, and the rate at which your body metabolizes the filler. Some HA fillers last about 6 months, while others can extend up to 1 year or even longer. In general, areas of the face that have more movement, such as around the lips, will not see results that last quite as long. Other fillers/collagen stimulators, such as Sculptra, work by triggering the body to produce more collagen. While the results take time to develop, they can last up to 2 years for some patients. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector who can assess you in person and customize your treatments to your precise needs and goals.
