Whether you want to plump up your lips or restore your facial volume, dermal fillers can work wonders in a variety of areas. Due to their minimally invasive and non-surgical approach, fillers are also sought after across different branches of cosmetic treatments.
While many fillers remain popular, they usually require a follow-up treatment after a few months. But if you are planning to resolve your aesthetical concerns through a more long-lasting solution, you may want to turn towards permanent fillers in West Vancouver, BC.
To help you learn more about these treatments, here is some information about what permanent fillers are and how long they last on average.
What Are Permanent Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that are inserted under your skin through a needle. These solutions can use natural or synthetic ingredients.
Typically, fillers made from absorbable substances, such as hyaluronic acid, dissolve into your body and last from 6-18 months, requiring continuous follow-up treatments to maintain their effects. But permanent fillers that use a mix of collagen with non-absorbable polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres can last up to 5 years and even beyond, thus earning the latter the label of permanent fillers.
