How long do nasolabial fold filler results remain visible?
The result of A fresh and rested appearance. remain visible for an average of 6 to 12 months. After that period, your body gradually breaks down the hyaluronic acid used, causing the volume to slowly disappear. You can then repeat the treatment to maintain the result.
What determines how long the effect lasts?
Not everyone keeps the result for the same amount of time. Several factors can influence the duration:
1. The type of filler
There are different types of fillers based on hyaluronic acid. Some are firmer and last longer, while others are softer and more subtle but are broken down more quickly. At Dokter Finn, we use A-brand fillers that provide an effect for an average of 6 to 12 months.
2. Your metabolism
People with a faster metabolism break down the filler more quickly. This varies per person.
3. Your facial movements
If you laugh, talk, or use your facial expressions a lot, the filler may wear off slightly faster in that area. The nasolabial fold is, after all, an area that moves a lot.
4. Lifestyle and health
Smoking, excessive sunlight, stress, or an unhealthy diet can shorten the effect. Healthy habits, on the other hand, help keep your skin looking good for longer.
What happens when the effect wears off?
The filler is slowly broken down by your body. You will then notice that the nasolabial fold becomes slightly more visible again. This happens gradually, so it is not the case that you are 'back to square one' from one day to the next.
Can you maintain the result?
Yes, by having a repeat treatment in good time. Many people choose to return after 9 to 12 months, before the effect has completely disappeared. This ensures that you maintain a constant, natural appearance.
Does the result improve after multiple treatments?
In many cases, yes. If you have the filler topped up regularly:
- The skin structure is better supported
- The folds remain less deep
- You often need less filler per session
The effect not only remains visible for longer, but your face also retains a more youthful shape for longer.
Conclusion
Nasolabial fold fillers provide a temporary but long-lasting result of an average of 6 to 12 months. This can vary slightly due to your lifestyle, the type of filler, and your natural metabolism. With regular maintenance treatments, you can maintain the effect in a beautiful and natural way.
