At Aesthetic Assets, we’re dedicated to helping you achieve & maintain a God-given asset! Our med-spa in Scottsdale stands out as one of the best Arizona to offer for HA Fillers.
What Is HA Filler?
HA, or Hyaluronic Acid, is an injectable gel that helps replace loss volume as we age, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and give a natural yet youthful shape to your face. HA occurs naturally in our bodies, but as we age it starts to decline along with valuable facial fat pad, so injecting filler helps replace the lost volume over time. There are many HA fillers out there, all with different technologies, allowing us to precisely choose the correct filler for the area of the face we’re treating. At Aesthetic Assets we offer an array of FDA approved dermal fillers from the Juvederm, Restylane and Versa Portfolios.
How Long Does Hyaluronic Filler Last?
Each filler is different, so therefore can last a different amount of time for each patient. Other factors come into play as well like how fast your body metabolizes filler, if you have any other health conditions, or if you are doing other aesthetic modalities to prolong your results. On average filler can last anywhere from 6-12 months, with some results having lasted as long as 2 years. Having a consultation with one of our aesthetic nurse injectors is important to determine which filler is best for you and your desired outcome and budget.
What Are the Side Effects of HA Filler?

How Long Does It Take to See Results From HA Fillers?
You will see the results immediately however it can take up to two weeks for your filler to settle and completely integrate with your own tissue. Best results can be seen after these healing times, and during your complimentary consultation your aesthetic nurse injector will go over your specific healing timeline based on your personalized treatment plan.
