In areas of the face with more movement, such as the lips, for. For lines and wrinkles closer to the skin, the doctor may choose a thinner product to fill the contour and soften the skin. These products can be metabolized more quickly and will last 6 to 12 months. In areas of the face with more movement, such as the lips, for example, the constant movement of the muscles breaks down and dissolves the filler at a faster rate, and fillers tend to disappear faster in these more active areas.
However, hyaluronic acid is a biodegradable component that, over time, the body metabolizes. Lower quality hyaluronic acid products can only last 3 to 6 months. But Juvederm and Restylane products can last up to 24 months with maintenance treatments, the specific longevity of each product depends on the formulation and treatment area.

Because dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance, they are metabolized by the body. The filler usually lasts around 12 months and also causes the body to produce more of its own collagen. The longevity of the filling depends on many factors, such as type and quantity, but, above all, on the metabolic rate.
Palep explains that during the first few months after the injection, the fillers will slowly start to degrade. The most commonly used dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a natural compound that helps the production of collagen and elastin. Offer non-surgical rhinoplasty; cheek, chin and lip fillers; under-eye fillers; jaw contour and non-surgical facelift.
