How to Make Your Dermal Filler Results Last Longer: Tips From Experts

While every filler eventually breaks down naturally, you can help your results last and look better by following a few expert recommendations:

1. Follow aftercare instructions
   Immediately after your treatment, avoid touching or massaging the area unless advised by your provider. Give the filler time to settle properly.
2. Protect your skin from the sun
   UV exposure can break down hyaluronic acid faster. Wearing sunscreen daily and avoiding prolonged sun exposure can help preserve your results.
3. Stay hydrated
   Hyaluronic acid holds water within the skin. Drinking enough water supports hydration from the inside out, helping your filler maintain volume and elasticity.
4. Avoid excessive heat and strenuous exercise right after treatment
   High heat and intense physical activity can increase swelling and may affect how the filler settles. It’s best to wait at least 24 hours before returning to your usual workouts.
5. Use gentle skincare products
   After your treatment, avoid harsh exfoliants or chemical peels for a few days. Choose gentle cleansers and hydrating moisturizers to keep your skin barrier healthy.
6. Maintain a healthy lifestyle
   Smoking and excessive alcohol use can speed up skin aging and filler breakdown. Eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants helps protect your skin and extend your results.
7. Schedule maintenance treatments
   Results from Juvederm® fillers typically last from six months to two years, depending on the product and treatment area. Regular touch-up treatments can help maintain your desired look and keep changes subtle over time.

Dr. Tenley Lawton will help you create a customized maintenance schedule that aligns with your aesthetic goals.
