First things first, keep on top of your appointments can help make beauty injections last longer.

Regular maintenance is key to prolonging your fillers. Touch-up treatments before the filler completely fades can help prolong the overall effect, as you build on the previous treatments.

Unfortunately, there’s no way to make filler last forever, but there are ways you can keep results lasting that bit longer.

Our Top Tips for Making Fillers Last Longer

  1. Trust your Doctor or Aesthetician.

This is best achieved by booking your consultation with Dr. Natalia Bratu and telling her exactly what you want to achieve and she will be there to recommend the best premium filler for you.

  1. Know How long You would like them to Last.

Sometimes people only want their fillers to last a certain amount of time, and there are different options to consider.

  • Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 6 to 12 months.
  • Calcium hydroxyapatite fillers last around 12 to 18 months.
  • Poly-L-lactic acid fillers can last up to 2 years as they stimulate collagen production.
  1. Avoid too much exposure to the Sun.

UV rays can break down filler more quickly. Protect your skin with sunscreen and avoid long periods in the sun.

  1. Hydrate and Moisturize.

Fillers, especially hyaluronic acid ones, retain moisture. Drinking plenty of water and using hydrating skincare products can help them maintain volume and plumpness.

  1. Limit Facial Movements – if possible. We know this is a big ask. 

Trying to limit your facial expressions can help prevent the premature breakdown of filler material as muscles won’t move as much as they would normally if used. Try not to purse your lips or clench your jaw when you smile or laugh for the best results.

  1. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle

We all know how important it is to look after yourself. So whether you love the gym or you’re entering your running era, a healthy lifestyle can also significantly contribute to making beauty injections last longer.

  • Hydration: Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water. This is always important, but especially if you’re trying to make your dermal fillers last longer. This is because hyaluronic acid, for example, thrives on hydration. The more hydrated you are, the plumper and healthier your skin will look.
  • Healthy Diet: Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals. Foods high in antioxidants, such as berries and leafy greens, can help protect your skin and prolong the effects of your fillers.
  • Avoid Smoking: Smoking can break down hyaluronic acid and collagen in the skin, shortening the life of your fillers. So, dropping cigarettes is not only beneficial for your overall health but also for your filler longevity.
  • Have a proper skincare routine: Self-care is so important and skincare is one of the best ways to give yourself that extra bit of TLC. Using hydrating skincare products can help maintain volume and plumpness of your fillers. Moisturizing with Hyaluronic acid serums can be especially beneficial. Using SPF 30+ will also protect your skin from UV damage, which can accelerate the ageing process and affect your fillers.

Having regular contact with your chosen Aesthetician is most important when it comes to making beauty injections last longer. Come up with a treatment plan and you’ll be living your best life!
