How Long Do Injectable Fillers Last?

By Nasrin Mani, M.D.

One of the first questions we usually get from our patients who are considering injectable fillers is how long will this last?

It’s a good question. And unfortunately, there is no clear-cut answer, as the longevity of a filler treatment depends on a number of factors, including the type of filler used, the patient’s skin condition and post-skincare regimen, and how many treatments are administered.

But in general, here is a quick overview of a few of our wrinkle-reducing treatments.

Sculptra^® collagen-stimulator:Results can last at least two years and sometimes longer, depending on the patient.

Temporary fillers, like Juvederm,^®Restylane^®and Cosmoderm^®: Results typically last anywhere from six to 12 months.

Radiesse^®: a temporary filler that achieves longer-lasting results of around 18 months.

ArteFill^®:This permanent injectable dermal filler is made up of static microbeads that do not get broken down by the body over time. Results can be permanent.
