Dermal fillers are a popular skin care solution for those looking to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging. But how do you make fillers last longer? There are several techniques to increase the lifespan of dermal fillers, and here we'll discuss the best ways to maximize your results. One of the most common causes of skin damage is overexposure to ultraviolet light. To minimize UV exposure, it's important to use sunscreen and limit the time you spend in the sun.
This helps protect your skin from damage and can help extend the life of your fillings. It's also important to not subject your fillers to stress or pressure. Avoid touching your face or putting pressure on the treatment site for at least 24 hours after injection. Avoid rubbing when washing your face and stay away from exfoliation.
This helps keep the product in place by preventing medications from dissipating outside the treatment site. With fillers, you should also try to avoid sleeping in that area of your face for at least 1 or 2 days. In terms of quantity, that would depend on your goals. If you think this first session (in which 1 ml was used) provided a much better result, you can try to reduce it next time. Discuss this with your provider during your next session. Dermal fillers can last between six months and two years, sometimes even longer, depending on the type.
Hyaluronic acid fillers, one of the most popular dermal filler options, tend to fall within the 6-18 month range. Hyaluronic acid fillers are also the only type of filler that can dissolve before wearing out on their own if desired. Most injectors will also recommend that patients refrain from physical exercise afterwards. A study published by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons showed that test subjects who received BOTOX injections along with the filler had 42 percent less degradation and 50 percent more filler remaining. The trick is to program maintenance fillers before the first ones have had a chance to wear out. During follow-up appointments after your initial treatment, our team can examine the duration of your results to determine how soon you can return to treatment again. The location of the injection can also affect the duration of the results, as dermal fillers stay longer in areas with less facial movement.
People with higher metabolisms will experience shorter filler results because their bodies will break down the filler compound faster than those with slower metabolisms. Try to avoid high-pressure facials, sleep on one side of the pillow, wear heavy glasses on your nose (if you've had padding here), and touching your face too much in general. In conclusion, there are several techniques that can help make dermal fillers last longer. Minimizing UV exposure, avoiding stress or pressure on the treatment site, and scheduling regular maintenance appointments are all key factors in maximizing your results.
