How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last? Insights from The Wirral Experts
Dermal fillers have become one of the most popular non-surgical treatments for restoring volume, smoothing wrinkles, and enhancing facial contours. At The Skin Logic Aesthetic Clinic, a CQC-registered clinic in Wallasey on The Wirral, we offer high-quality dermal filler treatments to help our clients achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results.
A common question we receive is: how long do dermal fillers last? The answer depends on several factors, including the type of filler used, the area treated, and individual lifestyle habits.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gel-like substances, primarily composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring compound that hydrates and plumps the skin. Unlike Botox, which relaxes muscles to reduce wrinkles, fillers add volume and enhance facial structure.
Common areas treated with dermal fillers include:
Lips
Cheeks
Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
Marionette lines
Jawline and chin
Tear troughs (under-eye hollows)
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
The longevity of dermal fillers varies depending on the type of filler, the area treated, and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle.
Typical duration of dermal fillers by treatment area:
Lips: 6-12 months
Cheeks: 12-18 months
Nasolabial Folds (smile lines): 9-18 months
Marionette Lines: 9-12 months
Jawline & Chin: 12-18 months
Tear Troughs (under-eye hollows): 6-12 months
Factors That Affect How Long Fillers Last:
Metabolism – Individuals with a faster metabolism may break down fillers more quickly.
Filler Type – Some fillers are designed to be more robust and last longer than others.
Injection Area – Areas with more movement (e.g., lips) tend to break down fillers faster than less active areas (e.g., cheeks).
Lifestyle Choices – Smoking, sun exposure, and poor skincare can contribute to quicker filler breakdown.
Maintenance Treatments – Occasional top-ups can help maintain results for a longer period.
How to Prolong the Results of Dermal Fillers
If you want to make the most of your dermal fillers and extend their longevity, consider the following tips:
Stay Hydrated – Hyaluronic acid-based fillers attract moisture, so drinking plenty of water helps maintain volume and hydration.
Follow a Good Skincare Routine – Use medical-grade skincare products that support skin health.
Avoid Excessive Sun Exposure – UV rays can break down fillers faster, so wear SPF daily.
Reduce Smoking & Alcohol Intake – These can accelerate the breakdown of fillers.
Schedule Regular Maintenance Appointments – Touch-ups help maintain long-lasting, natural results.
Dermal fillers can be used in conjunction with other aesthetic treatments such as Botox to enhance the results.
When Should You Book a refresh?
Most clients choose to book a refresh treatment before their fillers fully wear off to maintain a consistent appearance. We recommend scheduling a follow-up consultation 12 months after your treatment to assess whether a refresh is needed.
