When it comes to facial fillers, there are many options available to help you achieve the look you desire. But which ones last the longest? Bellafill is the only filler approved to treat acne and the only one proven to last around five years. Restylane Lyft, Restylane Defyne, Restylane Refyne, Juvederm, Voluma, Radiesse and Sculptra are all dermal fillers that have been studied to last about two years. Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane-L, Juvederm and Belotero are commonly used for facial wrinkles, asymmetry and volume loss.
While they may not be the “top dermal filler”, Sculptra far outperforms other dermal fillers in terms of the duration of its results. Most fillers can perform well in this area, but hyaluronic acid fillers can dissolve if accidentally injected into a blood vessel (a rare complication). The effects of Restylane facial fillers last from six months for some treatments and up to 18 months for others. A dermal filler typically lasts 12 to 18 months, depending on the person and the type of filler used.
However, the most durable facial filler is Sculptra, as it stimulates collagen production in the body for longer lasting and effective results. These three facial fillers can last from one year to two years, depending on the patient's lifestyle and the area being filled. One important thing to note is that you can enjoy visible facial rejuvenation or contouring results for longer than the duration of the specific filler injected. This means you won't need to see your injector every six to nine months for touch-ups like you do with other HA fillers.
It's also the only dermal filler approved by the FDA to be safe and effective for up to five years, with a 90% patient satisfaction rate. If you're not sure which filler is right for you, your doctor can help answer your questions and guide you in selecting the filling that best fits the results you want. Facial filler injections can transform the face, and many even offer immediate results in a quick treatment. Facial fillers have an expected period in which their results will be the most effective, but dermatologists must quickly consider the personal lifestyle of their patients for an approximate number.
