How Long Does It Take for Filler to Settle in Your Face?

Dermal fillers are a popular injectable treatment for restoring volume and smoothing lines and wrinkles. They provide an instant result, but it can take up to four weeks for the filler to fully integrate into the skin's architecture. During this time, you may experience some minor bruising and swelling around the injection site, which is normal and should subside within a few days. The liquidation process may take a few weeks, as the filler stimulates the body to produce collagen for up to one year.

The settlement period ranges from one to two weeks. When the swelling subsides, you can see the final result of the treatment. You may notice that your results improve as the filling settles. It's important to be patient and not expect immediate results after your dermal filler treatment. You may notice some minor changes in the first 24 hours after the injection, but they're not permanent changes and won't last.

When people notice wrinkles, smile lines, or when their face loses volume, they start thinking about fillers. Different fillers take different times to settle and the results vary from person to person, depending on how the body responds to the injection. Your results will depend on the type of filler you receive, your location, and your individual response. It can take up to four weeks for everything to completely settle down, at which point you'll notice the results you expect. Dermal fillers are a great alternative to improve your appearance and combat any signs of aging. They provide an instant result, but it's important to be patient and wait for the filler to settle before expecting long-term results.

When you receive your dermal filler treatment at the Glow Aesthetic Center, you may see more volume in the treated area soon after your appointment.
