Dermal fillers typically last between 6 and 18 months, depending on the treatment area, type of filler used and individual factors like metabolism. Areas with more movement, such as the lips, may see shorter durations. Less active areas, like the cheeks, tend to retain results longer. Regular top-ups can maintain effects.
