DERMAL FILLERS
There are many types of dermal injections on the market today, the most popular consist of a substance called Hyaluronic Acid. The benefits of Hyaluronic Acid dermal fillers are extensive and can be used to eliminate laugh lines, enhance the cheeks, plump your pout and much more.
DERMAL FILLERS IN SAN DIEGO
We exclusively inject FDA approved, Hyaluronic Acid-based, cosmetic dermal fillers at SDBotox, because this type of filler is among the safest and the results are immediate. Hyaluronic Acid is structurally similar to collagen and has the same appearance when injected into various areas and depths of the face.
The results of dermal fillers are incredible including directly adding volume to the face, stimulating new collagen formation and completely rejuvenating the look and feel of your skin. There is also a near-zero risk of an allergic reaction, because it’s a naturally occurring substance in the human body.
Additionally, Hyaluronic Acid-based injectable fillers are reversible. Though it’s rare, if a patient is unsatisfied with the results, we can safely remove the filler at a future appointment.
If you’re considering dermal fillers, look no further, the expert team at SDBotox offers the best and safest procedure for lip injections in San Diego

DERMAL FILLERS PRICING
Note: This service has same day recovery.
No tax on medical procedures
We offer a range of long-lasting dermal fillers at varying price points including Juvederm, Restylane, Volbello, Vollure and Voluma. The longevity of the results depends on the filler you choose and can last anywhere from 9-months to 24-months. There are also subtle nuances to each product that will be discussed at time of consultation.
We strive to be fair and upfront about our pricing at San Diego Botox. We’re transparent about the fact that Dermal fillers come from the manufacturer in pre-drawn 1 ml syringes. As a result, you must buy a minimum of 1 ml as we cannot use part of the syringe on you and part of it on someone else. Most patients only require one syringe, but you may want more depending on which area(s) you want to be treated and the desired look.

DERMAL FILLERS Treatment Instructions
Before
-
If you have or are currently suffering from cold sores, let your doctor know. A prescription is needed in order to get rid of any infection and eliminate the chance of developing sores post-treatment.
-
Avoid blood thinning and anti-inflammatory medication for 10 to 14 days prior to treatment. They increase the chance of bruising and swelling after treatments. Medications to avoid include Aspirin, Advil, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Fish Oil Supplements, Vitamin E, and other NSAIDs.
-
To reduce the risk of bruising, avoid drinking alcohol for 1 week before your appointment.
-
We recommend scheduling your appointment 2 weeks prior to a special event to allow ample time for filler to settle, and bruising and swelling to disappear.
-
If a rash, cold sore, or blemish appears in the treatment area, we recommend rescheduling your appointment 48 hours in advance.
-
To reduce symptoms of dizziness, nausea, and lightheadedness make sure to eat a healthy breakfast before the procedure.
-
Consider taking Arnica for 1 week before the procedure to prevent any bruising. Allocate 5 tablets under the tongue 3 times a day.
After
-
You may have some redness and swelling at the injection sites immediately after the procedure. This is your body’s normal inflammatory response, and it will not last long.
-
Unless otherwise instructed, avoid massaging/touching the treated area for 24 hours after the procedure.
-
DO NOT conduct any type of lie heavy lifting, exercise, or active straining for 24 hours after treatment.
-
To avoid excess swelling, do not consume excess sodium or alcohol for 24 hours after treatment.
-
To alleviate swelling, use a cool compress for 5-10 minutes each hour and take Tylenol.
-
If swelling persists, we recommend sleeping slightly elevated on your back.
-
For fillers that contain Hyaluronic Acid, avoid using any type of laser treatments for 4 to 6 weeks after injections.
-
If bruising occurs, ice and Arnica Gel can be used to decrease the duration of the bruise. Additionally, we can reduce the appearance of a bruise by using our Cutera Excel V laser. If a bruise persists for more than two days, please schedule an appointment with us, and we will use our laser to decrease the intensity and duration of the bruise.
-
If you are unhappy with the results, we recommend to wait a few days for swelling to entirely decrease and the product to settle in before making a final decision. Remember we can always add more.
DERMAL FILLERS FAQ
DOES GETTING FILLERS HURT?
Dermal fillers tend to be comparable to Botox in terms of the pain level. That being said, dermal fillers are commonly injected into more sensitive areas of the face. Some patients prefer a topical cream to numb treatment sites before injection. This helps but does not eliminate the pain associated with the procedure.
HOW LONG AFTER THE PROCEDURE DOES IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS?
Results are immediate but the final results tend to take a few days to appear. Initially, there may be some slight bruising and/or inflammation around the injection site, and overall volume tends to increase over the course of the first couple of days.
HOW LONG DOES DERMAL FILLER LAST?*
Juvederm Ultra Plus -
9 to 12 months
Restylane -
9 to 12 months
Volbella -
12 months
Vollure -
18 months
Voluma -
24 months.
*Duration is based on the manufacturer and independent studies. Actual duration may be affected by area injected, the mobility of area injected, physical activity level, smoking status, etc.
Please note, this is a very broad description of each product. The decision on which dermal filler will be used will be determined by you and your doctor or nurse at the time of your consultation.
IS THERE ANYONE WHO SHOULD NOT GET DERMAL FILLERS?
People who have a skin infection should not be undergoing dermal fillers.
People who are currently expecting a child.
Although it’s unlikely there will be any adverse side effects to your baby, San Diego Botox recommends not undergoing the procedure if you are pregnant.
WHAT IS XC MEAN?
XC means the filler contains Lidocaine, a local anesthetic. The addition of lidocaine decreases the pain associated with injection. Almost all fillers come premixed with lidocaine nowadays.
WHY IS VOBELLA ONLY .06?
Volbella is the perfect option for more subtle treatments or for a first timer who wants to gradually plump areas because it comes in both a 0.55 ml syringe and a 1 ml syringe. It is a thin filler and can be used for small areas of concern. If not much volume is needed we recommend, we recommend the 0.55 ml syringe.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ULTRA AND ULTRA PLUS?
Juvederm Ultra Plus is a thicker, more viscous, dermal filler than Juvederm Ultra. We often use it for deeper injections and in certain anatomic areas. It mimics bone more than soft tissue so it is an ideal filler for cheeks, chins and jaws.
WHAT IS THE CANNULA METHOD OF INJECTING DERMAL FILLERS?
The FDA-approved cannula method uses a flexible, blunt, round-tipped tool that looks similar to a needle but isn’t as sharp or rigid. This technique is perfect for dermal filler because cannulas tend to be longer than needles and result in fewer entry points to the skin. It also allows for placing filler deeper under the muscle without harming anything in its path.
This is a highly specialized technique, so you’ll want to make sure that you choose a trusted injector like our expert team of medical professionals at SDBotox.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING THE CANNULA TECHNIQUE FOR FILLER INJECTIONS?
There are many benefits to using the revolutionary cannula technique to inject fillers, including decreasing bruising, swelling, trauma to the skin, and overall pain. Using microcannulas results in fewer injection sites and, as a result, are less likely to puncture a blood vessel and cause a bruise. The method also allows injectors to reach the deepest plane in the face to create a more natural appearance.
