At Holcomb–Kreithen Medspa, patients trust our team of aesthetic specialists to deliver beautiful, natural-looking results with leading dermal fillers. Whether you're enhancing your lips, contouring your cheeks, or restoring youthful volume, one thing is certain: everyone wants their results to last as long as possible.
Here’s what you need to know to extend the life of your fillers and get the most out of your investment.
1. Choose the Right Filler for Your Goals
Not all fillers are created equal. At Holcomb–Kreithen, we offer a variety of options, each tailored to different concerns and longevity goals:
- Juvéderm Voluma®: Adds volume to the cheeks and mid-face with results lasting up to 2 years.
- Restylane Kysse®: Designed for soft, natural-looking lip enhancement, typically lasting 6–12 months.
- Sculptra®: Stimulates collagen production over time, with results that can last 2+ years.
- Radiesse®: Provides immediate volume and long-term collagen stimulation for contouring.
- Bellafill®: Longest-lasting filler—ideal for wrinkles and acne scars, with results up to 5 years.
Choosing the right filler with the help of an expert provider is the first step in ensuring long-lasting, natural-looking outcomes.

2. Follow All Post-Treatment Instructions
Aftercare is crucial. Avoid rubbing or massaging the area unless instructed. Skip strenuous exercise, excessive sun, or alcohol for at least 24 hours. These precautions reduce swelling and help the filler settle properly, protecting your results.
3. Stick to a Good Skincare Routine
Hydrated, healthy skin retains fillers better. Use medical-grade skincare products recommended by your provider, especially those with hyaluronic acid, peptides, and antioxidants. Daily SPF is a must to protect your skin from sun damage that can degrade filler.
4. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle
Smoking, dehydration, and high stress levels can accelerate filler breakdown. Staying well-hydrated, eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, and getting adequate sleep all support your skin and extend filler longevity.
5. Avoid Frequent Facial Movement
Dynamic areas of the face, like the mouth or forehead, naturally break down fillers more quickly. While some movement is unavoidable, limiting overuse of expressive muscles and avoiding excessive chewing gum or exaggerated facial expressions can help preserve results.
6. Schedule Maintenance Appointments
Rather than waiting until your filler fully dissolves, consider a "top-off" before the results wear off completely. Strategic maintenance keeps your look consistent and may require smaller amounts of product over time.
