In the field of medical aesthetics, Dermal Filler has become an important option for non-surgical beauty treatments. For many professional institutions and practitioners, understanding its durability and influencing factors is not only a technical requirement but also a key to providing high-quality services and meeting customer expectations.This article will delve into the duration of Dermal Filler's effect, the core factors that affect its durability, and offer practical application suggestions. At the same time, it will introduce a series of reliable professional solutions.
Have You Ever Wondered How Long The Dermal Filler Lasts?
Hyaluronic Acid is present in the skin tissue of the human body and plays a crucial role in retaining moisture and maintaining skin elasticity. Skin fillers provide an invasive method to restore volume, enhance facial features, and smooth out wrinkles. When considering using Hyaluronic Acid Fillers for cosmetic purposes, the following question arises: How long can Hyaluronic Acid maintain its effect?
Based on clinical observations and user feedback, the effects of Dermal Fillers are usually visible immediately after injection, but the time for their absorption can vary, depending on factors such as injection technique, treatment area, filler type, individual differences, and post-treatment care. Hyaluronic Acid Fillers start to gradually absorb 3 months after injection, and most of it is naturally metabolized within 6 to 12 months.
6 Factors Affecting The Duration Of Hyaluronic Acid Fillers' Effectiveness
Product Types And Materials Science
Reason One: The Type Of Filler Directly Affects Its Filler Durability.
● Granular Hyaluronic Acid:
The larger the particles, the better the shaping effect, and it is more suitable for deep filling, with a longer retention time.
Conversely, the smaller the particles, the more suitable for the superficial modification of the skin, and the shorter the retention time.
● Gel-type Hyaluronic Acid:
The cross-linking degree is the main factor affecting the retention time of the product in the body. The greater the cross-linking degree,the longer the retention time after injection; the smaller the cross-linking degree, the shorter the retention time.
Reason Two: Different Injection Sites Result In Different Absorption Rates
The injection site of hyaluronic acid and the corresponding level of facial expression activity both affect the duration of hyaluronic acid's retention.
●For example, the temporal area (the temples) has a low level of facial expression activity, so the retention time is relatively longer.
●While areas such as the nasolabial folds and the apple-shaped areas have a higher level of activity, thus the absorption of hyaluronic acid will be faster.
Reason Three: The Duration Of The Effect Is Usually Relatively Short For The First Injection
Generally, the absorption of the first injection of hyaluronic acid is relatively fast. After a period of time, if you receive another injection, the absorption of hyaluronic acid will not be as rapid. Therefore, following the doctor's recommended injection schedule in the later stage will prolong the duration of each injection of hyaluronic acid.
Reason Four: Due To Individual Differences In Body Constitution, The Metabolic Rate Of Hyaluronic Acid Also Varies
· Age: The metabolism rate of hyaluronic acid varies with age. The older one gets, the more the skin becomes loose, and the lower the content of hyaluronic acid in the skin and the faster its metabolism.
· Tissue Volume: Being underweight and having severe cheek depression can shorten the duration of hyaluronic acid maintenance.
Reason Five: Lifestyle And Post-Care
Drinking alcohol, staying up late, exposure to high temperatures (such as steam baths or sun exposure), and intense exercise may accelerate the metabolism of fillers. Maintaining good living habits can help extend the effect.
Reason Six: Misconceptions About "Disappearance" Of Effects: Displacement Rather Than Complete Metabolism
In some cases, the fillers are not completely absorbed but instead shift due to gravity or muscle movement. Professional injection techniques and the selection of appropriate products can minimize the risk of displacement to the greatest extent.
How To Maximize The Duration Of The Filling Effect?
Appropriate Fillers And Application Areas
● Select the HA molecular density, cross-linking degree and viscoelasticity (G′ value) that match the target area. Different areas (cheeks, tear troughs, nasolabial folds, chin, etc.) have different requirements for the filling material.
● Pay attention to the duration indicators and regional indications of the products. Prioritize choosing products that have sufficient evidence and a good reputation at your target area, such as OTESALY Seris hyaluronic acid filler.
Technology And Injection Levels
● Injection Layer: Comprehensive assessment of the anatomical structures of the subcutaneous, dermal, and deep fat layers is conducted to determine the appropriate injection depth. Avoiding too shallow injection to prevent volume loss or too deep injection to avoid volume accumulation.
● Injection Density And Volume Distribution: A layered and segmented injection method is adopted to avoid large-volume injections at a single point, in order to achieve a more natural and long-lasting effect and reduce local swelling.
● Employing Anesthetic And Relief Strategies: Appropriately utilize local anesthesia or formulations containing lidocaine to reduce pain and stress responses, and facilitate postoperative recovery.
Postoperative Care
● Cold Compress And Swelling Management: In the initial stage, apply cold compress to the injection site to reduce the risk of blood vessel dilation and swelling, but avoid prolonged cold application to prevent discomfort.
● Avoid Intense Physical Stimulation: Within 24-48 hours after the surgery, avoid facial massage, strenuous exercise, and intense facial expressions to prevent displacement or spread.
● Sun Protection And Antioxidant Protection: Regular sun protection and antioxidant care help maintain the skin environment, reduce free radical damage, and delay the fading of effects.
● Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Avoid immediate exposure to high-temperature saunas, steam baths, etc., to reduce the negative effects caused by accelerated metabolism.
