Over time, even the smoothest facial contours can start to lose volume. Fortunately, fillers can help restore that lost volume, but they are only a temporary solution. As their effects diminish, you may find that it’s time for a refresh appointment.
The longevity of fillers can range from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type used. If you’re unsure whether you need a refresh, here are four signs that it might be time for a new treatment:
- Deflation of Previously Plump Areas
Fillers are used to enhance volume in areas like the cheeks, chin, and deep folds. If you notice these areas starting to lose their fullness, it might be time for a refill. To gauge this, take a photo of your face immediately after your treatment, and then take monthly photos to compare. Rapid loss of volume could indicate that it’s time to consult with your nurse injector. - Increased Wrinkles
As fillers start to wear off, you might see a return of wrinkles in areas where you previously had smooth skin. Regularly comparing photos can help you track the effectiveness of your filler and determine if you need a refresh. - Uneven Distribution
If you start to notice uneven areas or irregularities where the filler was applied, this could be a sign that your treatment is metabolizing unevenly. Regular monitoring through photos can help you identify these changes and decide to add additional filler to balance the facial structures. - Time Since Last Treatment
If it’s been over 18 months since your last filler appointment, it might be time to consider a refresh. Fillers typically have a set duration of effectiveness, and exceeding this timeframe might mean a noticeable decline in volume.
