Dermal fillers have worked wonders throughout the years, giving both men and women aesthetically pleasing results and visibly plumper, younger-looking skin. Who doesn’t want these results, right? From enhancing your lips to diminishing creases, it is indeed the best non-invasive option for cosmetic procedures.
These small injections are used to address the most common signs of aging like wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. Magical as it may seem, dermal fillers have been very popular with millions of people in the USA since studies have shown that at least 3 million people get fillers every year.

What Fillers Do
Once injected, dermal fillers, or soft tissue fillers, fills up loose skin where you lost volume. It helps restructure and contour your face but takes a few weeks to settle completely. HA fillers replicate the natural substance of hyaluronic acid found in your body; injecting it to specific areas help keep hydration.
From celebrities to common citizens, dermal fillers have been a popular choice over plastic surgery mainly because the procedure takes less than an hour and has minimal recovery time.
Different Types of Dermal Fillers
You already know what dermal fillers basically are and what they do. Now, it’s time to talk about the types of fillers, their differences, and price points. Here at EauClaireBodyCare, we offer you three different kinds of fillers.
These are:
Firstly, hyaluronic acid-based fillers keep moisture and thus help your skin look plumper and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. A naturally-occurring acid in your body, hyaluronic acid, ensures to keep your skin hydrated and taut. This also restores the lost volume in your face.
Calcium hydroxyapatite fillers, on the other hand, contain tiny calcium particles in a gel-like substance. This stimulates collagen production and is commonly used for deeper lines and wrinkles.
Lastly, we have collagen fillers. As it’s named, collagen fillers replenish lost collagen in your skin. Collagen is the protein in your body that provides structure and elasticity. As you age, collagen production lessens, which, over time, leads to wrinkles and sagging skin.
Don’t confuse yourself with the type of fillers we introduced you to. Our specialist will customize a treatment plan for you and discuss which of these three would be better to use, depending on your skin and facial structure.
Factors Affecting Dermal Filler Longevity
Just like any other treatment, the results of fillers are temporary and not permanent. Dermal fillers undergo a natural breakdown process within your body over time. You may have to get a session as you see fit. How often should you get fillers is a question with a varied answer as both external and internal factors affect the longevity of your filler, which includes the following:

Average Lifespan of Popular Fillers
Depending on the brand and kind of filler you are using, the average time it takes for dermal fillers to last is from 6 to 12 months. Some fillers, like Bellafill, can last from 2 to 5 years.
While it may seem more practical to get the longest result possible, it’s highly recommended to talk to your specialist to see which brand would fit you best. As we discussed earlier, there are three factors affecting the longevity of your fillers, so consider these as well before making a decision.
The key is to manage your expectations as well. People have differences, and metabolic differences also affect filler lifespan. If your friend’s filler lasts longer than yours, it’s because of those different factors. You simply cannot compare your results with someone else as you’re totally different from each other.
Maximizing Your Filler Lifespan
So we’ve talked about fillers, their kinds, and what affects their longevity. Now we list down what you should do to make the most out of your injectible.
Know When It’s Time for a Refresher
Since we talked about the longevity of dermal fillers and the ways you can take care of them to maximize their effectiveness and lifespan, let us now move to another essential topic. If you get fillers and know when their lifespan is at the end, when do you actually schedule a refresher with your specialist?
Below are the common signs to look out for:
Fillers almost instantly erase the trace of wrinkles and lines across your face, smoothening from within the skin. If you notice them making a return appearance, it is a clear sign that your fillers already need a top-up.
Whatever filler you might have gotten, you just have to admit how much you loved the plumpness of your skin after the injectable. The biggest sign that you need to schedule a session is when you notice a loss in volume. Your skin will appear to be hollow and flat, and that ultimately is your go signal.
The magic of dermal fillers includes the manipulation of symmetry and contour on your face. This procedure by EauClaireBodyCare balances and enhances your facial structure. Whether it is your jawline, lip, cheek, or nose, when you notice unevenness, it’s time to go back and get a refresher.
You won’t just see the difference, you will feel the difference of this. The middle and lower parts of your face tend to sag when your skin loses its elasticity. And when you find this sagging present, you just know what to do next.
A less known sign than the others is the change in skin texture. Any lumps or uneven sections are a visible sign that a refresher is needed already.
