5 tips for making hyaluronic acid fillers last longer

Hyaluronic acid is a product that occurs naturally in the body and is therefore perfectly suited to a low-risk injectable wrinkle treatment. Through its enormous capacity to store water it gives the skin volume and suppleness at the desired places.

Unfortunately our natural hyaluronic acid stores steadily empty as we get older. The consequence is that the firmness and moisture of the skin dwindle and lines form. As hyaluronic acid is thus a natural product, it is also broken down by the body on its own, which means that the result of such an injectable treatment is not permanent. How quickly it is broken down varies from person to person and from treatment zone to treatment zone. With a few simple tips, however, you can get the maximum out of your result and make the fillers last longer.

5 tips for hyaluronic acid fillers

1. Sun protection

There is probably nothing more important for preventing premature skin ageing than sufficient protection against harmful UV rays. Too much sunbathing accelerates the ageing process of the skin cells and damages them. This can lead to sun damage such as hyperpigmentation, an uneven skin appearance and fine lines. The same therefore applies to hyaluronic acid fillers. To make the results last longer, sun protection should be worn every day.

2. Skin care

Hyaluronic acid is a perfect moisture store for the skin, and precisely for that reason it is also important to supply the skin with it regularly from the outside. A good care routine can delay the first signs of skin ageing and keep the effect of fillers visible for longer.

3. Drink water

The ‘secret beauty trick’ of every top model seems relatively obvious: drink water. A body that is sufficiently supplied with fluid really is one of the most important building blocks of a youthful and fresh appearance. Water gives our skin its natural glow. Hyaluronic acid stores moisture and can thereby increase many times over in volume. In order to achieve an optimal and long-lasting result in building volume, it is therefore important to drink enough water.

4. Minimise stress

Stress, of whatever kind, has a bad influence on our mental and physical health. Our skin is no exception, quite the contrary: stress makes us age and reduces the quality of our skin. Fine lines and wrinkles can thus form more quickly and the effects of a filler treatment correspondingly diminish more quickly. Reducing stress is therefore one of the most effective anti-ageing tips.

5. Refresher treatments

Having small touch-ups carried out regularly can contribute to a long-lasting and, above all, a consistently natural result from a hyaluronic acid filler treatment.
