Which Dermal Fillers Last the Longest?

Posted on March 25, 2025

Dermal fillers are a popular way to restore volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance facial contours without surgery. With so many options available, one of the most common questions we hear at Aqua Plastic Surgery in Jupiter and Miami is: “Which filler lasts the longest?” While longevity varies based on the type of filler, treatment area, and individual metabolism, some options provide longer-lasting results than others. In this blog, our aesthetic team breaks down the most vital information.

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: Natural and Versatile

Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are among the most used injectables because they are biocompatible, reversible, and provide natural-looking results.

• JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel – Depending on the formula used, JUVÉDERM fillers can last six months to two years. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC, designed for cheek augmentation, has one of the longest durations at up to two years.
• Restylane® – Like JUVÉDERM, Restylane offers a range of formulations. Restylane-L lasts about six to nine months, while Restylane Lyft can provide results for up to a year or more in areas like the cheeks.
• Belotero Balance® – This lightweight filler is ideal for fine lines and lasts six to twelve months, making it a good choice for delicate areas like under the eyes.

Radiesse®: Stimulating Collagen for Longer Results

Radiesse is made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, providing immediate volume and stimulating collagen production. This means results can last 12 to 18 months, sometimes longer as the body naturally produces more collagen.

Sculptra®: Gradual Volume with Long-Lasting Effects

Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra® works by stimulating collagen production rather than simply adding volume. This means results take longer to appear but can last up to two years. Sculptra is often used for areas that require gradual, natural-looking enhancement, such as the cheeks and temples.

Neuromodulators: Reducing Wrinkles, Not Adding Volume

While not technically fillers, neuromodulators like BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® are often included in aesthetic treatments to relax wrinkles. These injectables generally last three to four months before requiring a touch-up.

Which Filler Is Right for You?

The best filler for you depends on your aesthetic goals, treatment area, and how long you want the results to last. If you prefer a temporary option, hyaluronic acid fillers may be ideal. If you’re looking for a longer-term solution, Sculptra or Radiesse may be better choices.
