Non-surgical aesthetic treatments, including Botox®, dermal fillers, laser resurfacing, microneedling, and collagen-stimulating injectables, are among the most sought-after procedures for rejuvenating and enhancing the face and body without surgery. While these treatments deliver impressive results, it’s important to understand that most non-surgical enhancements are temporary. Their longevity depends on the treatment type, the individual’s metabolism, and their lifestyle habits.

Understanding the Longevity of Different Non-Surgical Treatments

Botox® and Other Neuromodulators: Botox®, Dysport®, and similar neuromodulators temporarily relax facial muscles that cause expression lines, such as crow’s feet or frown lines. Results typically appear within days and last three to four months, though some patients enjoy effects lasting up to six months. Regular maintenance helps train facial muscles over time, often allowing for longer intervals between treatments.

Dermal Fillers Fillers made from hyaluronic acid (HA), such as Juvéderm® or Restylane®, restore volume to areas like the lips, cheeks, and under-eyes. Depending on the formulation and placement, results generally last six months to two years. Other fillers, like calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse®) or poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra®), stimulate collagen production and can last even longer, gradually improving skin structure over time.

Collagen-Stimulating and Skin-Tightening Treatments Procedures such as RF microneedling, HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound), and laser resurfacing promote collagen and elastin production for smoother, tighter skin. These results develop gradually and can last up to 12–18 months, depending on the patient’s skin quality and ongoing care.

Factors That Influence Longevity

Several lifestyle and biological factors can affect how long non-surgical results last, including:

• Metabolism — Faster metabolism may shorten the duration of injectables.
• Sun exposure — UV damage can accelerate collagen breakdown.
• Hydration and nutrition — Healthy, hydrated skin retains results better.
• Smoking and stress — Both can reduce blood flow and collagen levels.
• Skincare routine — Using medical-grade skincare products helps preserve results.
