How often do I need dermal filler touch-ups, and do factors like location or metabolism affect longevity?

Dermal filler longevity varies, but here’s what you can expect:

  • Average Duration:
    • Most hyaluronic acid fillers last 6-18 months, depending on the specific type and treatment area.
    • Calcium hydroxylapatite fillers can last over a year.
  • Factors Affecting Longevity:
    • Filler Type: Each filler has a unique breakdown rate.
    • Location: Areas with lots of movement (like lips) break down filler faster.
    • Metabolism: High metabolism can slightly shorten the lifespan of fillers.
    • Individual Response: How your body reacts to the filler plays a role.

Your AIVI Aesthetics injector will give you a personalized estimate for touch-ups based on the chosen filler and your goals. Typically, maintenance treatments are needed every several months to a year or more.
