In general, the effect of hyaluronic acid filler for nasolabial folds can last from 6 months to 1 year.
Hyaluronic acid filler injection is a common facial aesthetic procedure. As a component of the dermal tissue in the human body, hyaluronic acid, when injected into the deeper layers of the skin, can improve the depression and laxity in the nasolabial fold area, making the face appear fuller and younger. However, the effect is not permanent and will be gradually absorbed and metabolized by the body over time.
Typically, the results of hyaluronic acid filler for nasolabial folds can last between 6 months and 1 year. However, the exact duration may vary depending on individual metabolic rates, lifestyle factors, skin quality, and the brand of the filler used. To maintain the desired effect, periodic touch-up injections may be necessary. When choosing a filler, it is recommended to consult with a qualified physician to understand the characteristics of different brands and types of hyaluronic acid fillers, so as to select the most suitable option.
Proper post-treatment care can help prolong the duration of hyaluronic acid filler in nasolabial folds. After injection, excessive massaging and strenuous exercise should be avoided, as these may accelerate the metabolism of hyaluronic acid. Additionally, maintaining good lifestyle habits such as adequate sleep and a balanced diet can also help slow down the metabolic rate of hyaluronic acid.
