How long do dermal fillers last?

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers   are gel-like injectables designed to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance natural contours. At Maki Med Spa & Wellness, we use FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers to achieve a youthful glow by:

• Softening fine lines and deep creases
• Plumping lips and restoring cheek volume
• Lifting brows or smoothing a downturned smile
• Rejuvenating hands and reducing under-eye shadows

With minimal downtime and instant results, it’s no wonder fillers are a go-to for those seeking a refreshed appearance.

Are Dermal Fillers Safe?

Safety is our priority. HA fillers have been FDA-approved for over two decades and are renowned for their compatibility with the body. At Maki Med Spa, our licensed, master-level injectors ensure precision and artistry, minimizing risks like bruising or swelling. Plus, HA fillers can be reversed with hyaluronidaseif adjustments are needed—a safeguard we always have on hand.

How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?

Results depend on three key factors:

1. Filler Type: Thinner formulas for fine lines (e.g., lips) may last 6–12 months, while denser fillers for cheeks or temples can last 12–24 months.
2. Treatment Area: High-movement zones (like lips) metabolize filler faster than static areas.
3. Lifestyle & Metabolism: Sun exposure, smoking, and individual metabolic rates affect longevity.

At Maki Med Spa, we tailor treatments using premium brands like Juvéderm®  and Restylane® to match your goals and anatomy.

Beyond the Face: Hands & Neck

Aging impacts more than just your face. Our experts also address:

• Hands: Camouflage veins and tendons while restoring lost volume.
• Neck: Smooth “crepey” skin and horizontal bands, often paired with collagen-boosting therapies like laser treatments for enhanced results.

What Happens When Fillers Fade?

Worried about sagging skin? Don’t be! HA fillers dissolve naturally, and your skin will return to its pre-treatment state. Some fillers even stimulate collagen, leaving skin healthier over time. Regular touch-ups can help maintain your desired look effortlessly.

Are Dermal Fillers Worth It?

Most clients say yes! While mild swelling or bruising may occur, these side effects fade quickly. During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history (including allergies or pregnancy) to ensure filler treatments align with your needs.

Is There an Age Limit for Fillers?

No! While many clients start in their 40s–50s to counteract collagen loss, adults of any age can benefit. Whether you’re smoothing early lines or revitalizing mature skin, we customize plans to suit your unique journey.
