Introduction
Dermal fillers are one of the most effective ways to restore youthfulness, add volume, and smooth wrinkles without surgery. But a common question patients ask is: what fillers are temporary?
Temporary fillers are designed to give beautiful, natural results that eventually fade as the body breaks them down. At Aesthetic Skins, we recommend safe, FDA-approved fillers based on your needs and goals.
What Fillers Are Considered Temporary?
The most common temporary fillers are Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers.
-
Brands: Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, Teosyal
-
Duration: 6–18 months (depending on type and treatment area)
-
Why temporary? HA occurs naturally in the body and is gradually absorbed over time.
Bonus: Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if you want to reverse the results earlier.
Other Semi-Temporary Fillers
While HA fillers are the main category of temporary fillers, some others last a bit longer but are not permanent:
1. Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) Fillers
-
Brand: Radiesse
-
Duration: 12–18 months
-
Use: Deep wrinkles, jawline contour, cheeks
-
Note: Cannot be dissolved, but still temporary.
2. Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) Fillers
-
Brand: Sculptra
-
Duration: 2–3 years
-
Use: Volume restoration, collagen stimulation
-
Note: Works gradually and fades naturally, but not dissolvable.
Why Choose Temporary Fillers?
Patients often prefer temporary fillers because they:
-
Allow you to try out a look before committing.
-
Are reversible (in case of HA fillers).
-
Fade naturally, so you can adjust results over time.
-
Have a strong safety record when injected by experts.
What Fillers Are NOT Temporary?
Some fillers are semi-permanent or permanent, such as:
-
Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) Fillers – e.g., Bellafill (lasts 5+ years)
-
Silicone or unapproved permanent fillers – unsafe and not recommended
At Aesthetic Skins, we do not use permanent fillers due to long-term risks and complications.

Conclusion
So, what fillers are temporary? The answer is primarily hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane, which last 6–18 months and can be dissolved if needed. Other options like Radiesse and Sculptra also provide semi-temporary results. Choosing temporary fillers gives you flexibility, safety, and natural results without long-term commitment.
