How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last? A Guide to the Juvéderm® Collection

Most Juvéderm® dermal fillers last about one to two years, depending on the product, the treatment area and your body. Thinner fillers in areas that move a lot, like the lips, tend to break down sooner, while firmer fillers placed deeper, like in the cheeks or jaw, often last longer.

What dermal fillers are made of

The Juvéderm® collection is made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance your skin produces naturally to hold water and stay plump. Over time your body gradually breaks HA down, which is why results are long-lasting but not permanent. A big advantage of HA filler is that a trained provider can dissolve it if ever needed.

The Juvéderm® collection at a glance

• Volbella®: a soft filler for subtle lip enhancement and fine lines around the mouth.

Your provider chooses the product based on the area and the look you want. You can learn more on our dermal filler page.

What makes filler last longer or shorter

• Treatment area: high-movement areas such as the lips break down filler faster.
• Product type: firmer, more structural fillers usually last longer.
• Metabolism: some people simply process HA more quickly.
• Sun and lifestyle: UV exposure and smoking speed up the breakdown of collagen and HA.
• Maintenance: small touch-ups before filler fully fades can keep results steady with less product.

What to expect after treatment

Results are visible right away. Swelling and tenderness are most noticeable in the first one to three days, especially in the lips, and usually settle within a week. Results are easiest to judge at one to two weeks. For 24 hours, avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, saunas and hot tubs, and don't press or massage the area unless your provider tells you to.

How much does filler cost?

Pricing depends on the product and how much is needed. New patients receive $199 off their first syringe, and members save $50 to $100 per syringe. See current new patient specials.

Frequently asked questions

Is filler permanent?

No. HA fillers are gradually absorbed by the body, usually over one to two years.

How soon can I get a touch-up?

Your provider will usually reassess at two weeks and suggest maintenance based on how your results hold.

Can filler be removed?

Yes. Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved by a trained provider.

Should I schedule filler before an event?

Plan at least two weeks ahead so any swelling or bruising has time to settle.
