How long do the results of these dermal fillers last?

Hyaluronic acid fillers can last for six to nine months. The effect of Restylane depends on the area being treated, the amount of substance administered, and the metabolism of the individual. It tends to last longer in areas that are less mobile. It diminishes rapidly in areas that are more mobile, such as the lips.

Patients should not use these fillers if they are allergic to any of Restylane’s ingredients.
