Dr. Jessica Belz, who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, offers JUVÉDERM fillers in San Antonio. One of the most common questions she hears from potential patients is, “How long do JUVÉDERM results actually last?”
The answer depends on various factors, including the specific product used, the treatment area, and your unique physiology.
How Long Do JUVÉDERM Results Last?
On average, JUVÉDERM results last between 6 and 18 months. The duration depends, in part, on the product used during your session.
For instance, JUVÉDERM Ultra XC and JUVÉDERM Volbella XC, often used for lip enhancement, may last about 6 to 12 months. In contrast, JUVÉDERM Voluma XC, designed for restoring volume in the cheeks, can last up to 2 years.
The treatment area also affects the longevity of your outcomes. Regions with more movement, such as the lips, tend to see faster product breakdown compared to locations like the cheeks.
Factors That Influence Longevity
The duration of JUVÉDERM results isn’t the same for everyone. Several factors can influence how long your outcomes will last:
- Metabolism: Faster metabolisms break down hyaluronic acid, the main ingredient in JUVÉDERM, more quickly.
- Age and Skin Condition: Younger skin and areas with less damage may hold the filler longer.
- Lifestyle Habits: Regular sun exposure, smoking, and stress can shorten the lifespan of your results.
- Injection Technique: An experienced provider like Dr. Belz ensures the product is placed optimally for lasting effects.
How to Prolong Your JUVÉDERM Outcomes
While JUVÉDERM results are temporary, you can still take steps to prolong them:
- Stay hydrated to maintain skin elasticity.
- Use sunscreen to protect your skin and the filler from UV damage.
- Avoid smoking, as it can speed up the breakdown of hyaluronic acid.
- Schedule touch-up treatments as recommended by Dr. Belz.
