While the lifespan of dermal fillers can vary considerably between patients, depending on the product, your lifestyle and unique metabolism, Juvederm is the longest-lasting temporary lip filler with results visible for up to a year. Restylane comes in at a close second, with results lasting between 6-10 months.
Bellafill® is a dermal filler that replaces lost volume in the skin for correction that is both immediate and longer-lasting than other types of fillers. Unlike temporary fillers, Bellafill is the only dermal filler that stimulates collagen growth long term to help maintain your youthful appearance for up to 5 years.
The longevity of filler depends on many factors, like the type and amount, but, mostly, metabolic rate. Metabolism affects just how long filler lasts in each of our bodies, which is why your friend's lip filler might last longer than yours, or vice versa.
Why Are Filler Results Temporary? Dermal fillers are created using naturally occurring enzymes, such as hyaluronic acid. For this reason, they are metabolized by your body over time. The speed of your metabolism will greatly affect how long your treatment results last.
If you don't receive routine maintenance your lip fillers will dissolve over time until it's completely metabolized in your body. Some people metabolize it very fast and will make the dermal filler dissolve fast. Others may metabolize the filler slower and may see longer lasting results due to that.
Juvederm and Restylane fillers last longer than other fillers. Juvederm and Restylane are currently the longest-lasting and most durable dermal fillers on the market. Juvederm and Restylane are families of hyaluronic acid fillers with numerous possible formulations.
Some dermal fillers have been studied to last close to two years. The three fillers that tend to last the longest are Restylane Lyft, Restylane Defyne, Restylane Refyne, Juvederm, Voluma, Radiesse, and Sculptra.
Restylane Kysse
This is a thicker product which is less likely to migrate. Because of this, it allows the injector to better manipulate the shape of the lips. If you are looking for a crisp and defined vermillion border and cupid's bow, this is a great choice.
Juvederm Ultra Plus is a type of lip filler that comes in several different textures and colors. The most popular version is the “Ultra” line, which includes Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, and Restylane Lyft.
Light, soft, hyaluronic acid fillers, like Restylane®, give the lips the most natural and attractive look. Found naturally in our skin and lips, hyaluronic acid plumps, firms, and shapes the lips by attracting and holding water.
Your body naturally metabolizes the hyaluronic acid we use. That means injection fillers will fade slowly over time, usually after no longer than a year for most people. You'll need to have regular appointments to maintain your new pout.
Composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance that's naturally found in the body, people are using fillers to help the appearance of the natural ageing process. Over time, as facial movement increases in areas like the lips or cheeks, it causes the filler to break down and dissolve at a quicker rate.
Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC offers the most dramatic lip enhancements. This formulation has a larger particle size than other lip fillers, so it is the most thick and dense of the lip filler formulations. Ultra Plus XC can also be injected more deeply into the skin, creating more substantial volume and lift.
Permanent lip filler is an option for those who do not want frequent lip injections, or where temporary fillers have not been satisfactory. A filler that lasts for approximately 10 years is used, and this product has been used in 400,000 patients worldwide over the past 20 years.
Most of the time, HA based fillers (Juvederm, Restylane ) last anywhere from 6 to 18 months. In some individuals, they last a bit shorter or longer. Some other fillers such as Sculptra can last 2 years, but usually that is not a first choice for lip augmentation.
1 to 2 Years
Some of the latest and greatest dermal fillers have been found to last close to two years! The three fillers that tend to last the longest are Juvederm Voluma, Radiesse, and Sculptra. Juvederm Voluma is used on the cheeks, and the acid used can last up to 2 years.
Results That Last
Once injected, your RHA Collection of fillers can last up to 15 months, making it one of the longer lasting fillers on the market. Smile and enjoy life (without creating deeper creases!) while your hyaluronic acid adapts to your changing facial expressions and keeps a smooth, younger appearance.
People with higher metabolisms will experience shorter filler results because their bodies will break the filler compound down faster than those with slower metabolisms. The same goes for other treatments such as BOTOX® and Dysport®.
Generally speaking, 0.5 ml of lip filler will provide subtle but noticeable results to the lips, with an average increase in volume of around 5-10%. This amount of product also tends to be ideal for those looking for natural-looking results without too much fullness or volume added to their lips.
On average, you need to get new lip fillers every 12 to 18 months.
