Are You Outlasting Your Youth?

Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyebrows, mouth, and nose can add years to your appearance. These signs of aging are the result of your muscles contracting making facial expressions. Stress can add to the contracting of muscles making the wrinkles even more apparent. Facial fillers help reduce the signs of aging and help you regain your youthful appearance.

Facial fillers are a facial rejuvenation procedure to help relax your muscles and add volume to the areas where deep creases thrive. There are many options for facial fillers and each filler acts in a different way to add to your youth. These fillers include:

  • BOTOX®
  • Juvederm™
  • Restylane®
  • Radiesse®

How Long do Facial Fillers Last?

Some facial fillers last about the same length of time while a few last a bit longer. Fillers are considered a temporary to semi-permanent treatment. The results will last longer the more a treatment is received.

Botox® lasts anywhere from four to six months and is used to lessen the contraction of the facial muscles. The muscles will start to contract again and wrinkles may appear once the Botox® injection wears off. Another Botox® treatment will help the muscles relax again and the wrinkles will slowly disappear. Having many Botox treatments can train the muscles to stay in a more relaxed state keeping the wrinkles at bay.

Juvederm™ and Restylane® last about 3 to 6 months. Juvederm™ is used to add volume to deep wrinkles and to hydrate the skin creating a healthy glow. Restylane® is a non-animal facial filler mainly used in lip augmentation. This filler adds volume to the areas that are treated.

Radiesse lasts the longest out of all the facial fillers. This facial filler lasts about 12 to 18 months and is used to add volume. Radiesse smoothes the skins appearance making it look more youthful.
