Dermal filler injections are a non-invasive treatment that reduces the look of lines and wrinkles and promotes youthful facial volume. These fillers can also add volume to lips and cheek contours. There is little to no downtime, and you will see results immediately after the procedure.

What Is the Cost of a Dermal Filler Injection?

Dermal fillers are typically priced per syringe, so one filler injection can start at $500. It is best to discuss with our trusted aesthetic specialist the type of injection you will receive, your goals, and your budget.

What Is the Recovery Time from a Dermal Filler Injection?

After your Dermal filler injections, you may experience mild bruising and swelling in the treated areas, but this will resolve in a few days. There is little to no downtime required after receiving these fillers, so most patients can return to work the same day or the day after and can wear makeup a few hours after the procedure. Results can last up to a year or longer, depending on the filler used.
