Injectables room at Umi Clinic, Myeongdong, where filler longevity is discussed at consultation — **12–24 months** Typical range in low-movement areas

Quick answer

Which fillers last the longest?

The most durable options are firm, highly cross-linked hyaluronic acid fillers(such as Juvederm Voluma or Volux) and calcium hydroxylapatite(Radiesse), which often last 12–24 months in low-movement areas like the cheeks, chin and jaw. Soft fillers in mobile areas such as the lips usually last 6–12 months.

Longevity also depends on metabolism, exercise, sun exposure and how much is placed. For gradual results that build your own collagen over a longer period, ask about collagen stimulators.

Before & after

Why some fillers last longer

Higher cross-linking and deeper placement slow the body’s natural breakdown of the gel, so support lasts longer.

FAQ

Long-lasting fillers questions

Are permanent fillers available?

We do not use permanent fillers. They cannot be removed easily and carry higher long-term risks. Durable HA and CaHA are safer choices.

Why does lip filler fade faster?

The lips move constantly and have good blood supply, so the gel breaks down more quickly than in the cheeks or chin.

Can I make filler last longer?

Good sun protection, not smoking and a stable weight help. Small top-ups before the filler fully fades can also extend results.

Does longer-lasting mean more risk?

Not necessarily, but firmer fillers must be placed in the right areas. Radiesse cannot be dissolved like HA, which is why it is not used in delicate zones.

Do foreigners pay more?

No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
