How to Maintain Your Filler and Botox Results Over Time

Injectables like Botox and dermal fillers offer natural-looking, rejuvenated results—but keeping them fresh requires the right care and maintenance. At MDCS Dermatology, Toral Vaidya, MD, MPH shares essential tips on how to maximize and prolong your results.

Understanding Botox and Fillers

• Botox works by relaxing targeted facial muscles to smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
  
• Fillers add volume, restore facial contours, and improve skin elasticity.
  

While results are not permanent, a thoughtful routine can help extend their effects and keep you looking refreshed.

How Long Do Results Last?

• Botox: Typically lasts 3–4 months.
  
• Fillers: Depending on the product, results may last 6–18 months.
  
• Longevity varies based on the treatment area, product type, and individual metabolism.
  
  

Tips to Maintain Your Results

1. Follow a Consistent Skincare Routine
   Use gentle cleansers, antioxidant serums, and daily sunscreen to protect skin health and support injectable results.
   
2. Prioritize Sun Protection
   UV rays break down collagen and accelerate aging. Broad-spectrum SPF is essential.
   
3. Stay Hydrated and Maintain a Healthy Diet
   Hydration and nutrient-rich foods keep skin supple, supporting filler longevity.
   
4. Schedule Regular Maintenance Treatments
   Keep a consistent schedule to prevent lines or volume loss from fully returning.
   
5. Avoid Smoking and Limit Alcohol
   These accelerate skin aging and reduce the lifespan of injectables.
   
6. Consider Complementary Treatments
   Pairing injectables with treatments like RF microneedling or chemical peels can enhance and extend your results.
