How Long Do Dermal Fillers Really Last?

Over the last couple of decades, dermal fillers have become a popular non-surgical method to enhance the lips, face, cheeks and brow area. 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. This makes the filler disappear faster in more active areas of the face.

So how long do dermal fillers last? In this video, I discuss the longevity of dermal fillers, what affects dermal filler longevity, what you need to ask before getting dermal filler treatment and the surprising evidence detected from an MRI scan.

Have questions? I’d love to help.

Thank you, your video was really helpful. So this means that if a patient pierces his lips once a year to maintain the result, then every year the amount of filler in his face increases and this can negatively affect the appearance of the face?
