The longevity of Dermal Fillers Injections in Dubaiafter injection can vary based on several factors, including the type of filler used, the area treated, individual metabolism, and lifestyle. Here is a general overview of how long different types of dermal fillers typically last:
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers (e.g., Juvederm, Restylane):
- Duration: 6 to 18 months
- Details: These are the most common types of fillers and are often used for lip augmentation, cheek enhancement, and smoothing wrinkles. Some formulations may last up to two years.
Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers (e.g., Radiesse):
- Duration: 12 to 18 months
- Details: Often used for deeper wrinkles and facial volume restoration. The body gradually absorbs the filler over time.
Poly-L-lactic Acid Fillers (e.g., Sculptra):
- Duration: Up to 2 years
- Details: These fillers stimulate collagen production, with effects building over time and lasting longer.
Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Fillers (e.g., Bellafill):
- Duration: 5 years or more
- Details: These semi-permanent fillers are used for deeper wrinkles and acne scars. They contain microspheres that provide long-lasting support to the skin.
Autologous Fat Injections (Fat Grafting):
- Duration: Permanent
- Details: Fat is harvested from the patient’s body, purified, and then re-injected. Some of the injected fat may be reabsorbed, but the remaining fat cells can last indefinitely.
Factors Influencing Duration:
- Area of Treatment: Fillers in high-movement areas like the lips tend to break down faster than those in less active areas like the cheeks.
- Metabolism: Individuals with a higher metabolic rate may find that fillers break down more quickly.
- Lifestyle: Factors like smoking, sun exposure, and overall skin care can impact the longevity of fillers.
Maintenance: To maintain desired results, follow-up treatments are often necessary. Consulting with a qualified and experienced practitioner can help determine the best type and schedule of filler treatments for your specific needs.
