Dermal Fillers

Visible volume loss, etched lines, and tired features can change how you look, and how you feel. At At Destination Aesthetics™, our dermal filler treatments in El Dorado Hills, Elk Grove, Folsom, Roseville, and Sacramento, CA, restore youthful contour, soften static lines, and enhance features with natural-looking precision. Each plan is customized by our DA™ injectors to fit your goals, timeline, and budget, so you leave looking refreshed, not “done.”

How Dermal Fillers Can Help You Achieve A Youthful Glow

As time goes on, the face starts to lose much of the volume that was originally present during youth, resulting in hollowed features and a sunken appearance. The aging process can take a toll on self-esteem and cause feelings of discomfort, but with nonsurgical treatment, many of the features that have begun to tell your age can be reversed. As one of the top medical spas in the Sacramento area, we offer dermal fillers like Restylane® and JUVÉDERM® at our El Dorado Hills, Elk Grove, Folsom, Roseville, and Sacramento, CA, med spas as an effective solution for combating wrinkles, creases, and folds. At Destination Aesthetics™, we offer a variety of fillers that can promote a more youthful countenance and help you look your best.

What Areas Can be treated with dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers treat a wide range of concerns related to volume loss, whether caused by aging or genetics. Our team of artful injectors specializes in:

  • Hollows under the eyes (tear trough filler)
  • Smile lines
  • Flat cheeks
  • Sunken temples
  • Lip injections
  • Chin and jawline augmentation
  • Hand rejuvenation
  • Nonsurgical butt lift

A particular appeal of dermal fillers is how they can be adjusted to your facial structure to produce natural results. No dermal filler treatment uses a one-size-fits-all methodology, meaning that your results will align specifically with the aesthetic desires you have in mind.

What’s The Difference Between Dermal Fillers And BOTOX®/Dysport®?

Neuromodulators like BOTOX® and Dysport® treat dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated movement, such as forehead lines or crow’s feet. Dermal fillers correct static wrinkles, folds, and areas of lost volume, such as smile lines, cheeks, or lips. Both approaches complement each other, which is why many patients choose a combination plan to address the full spectrum of facial aging.

How Do Dermal Fillers and BOTOX®/Dysport® Work?

Dermal fillers are gel-based injectables, most commonly made from hyaluronic acid, which binds water in the skin to plump and smooth targeted areas. Some fillers, like Sculptra®, stimulate your body’s own collagen production for gradual, long-lasting improvement. BOTOX® and Dysport® are neuromodulators that temporarily relax specific facial muscles to soften lines and prevent new ones from deepening. Both treatments are minimally invasive, require no surgery, and deliver natural-looking results when performed by skilled injectors.

Dermal Fillers for Lips

Full, balanced lips are one of the most popular requests we see for filler treatments. Whether you’re looking for subtle enhancement, restoring lost volume, or smoothing fine lines around the mouth, our DA Lips approach is customized for natural, flattering results. Our injectors use advanced techniques and a selection of trusted fillers to create lips that look refreshed, never overdone.

  • How many syringes are usually needed for lip filler? Most patients need 1 syringe for subtle enhancement, while 2 syringes may be recommended for more noticeable volume or correction.
  • Which filler is best for lips? Options include JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus XC, JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC, JUVÉDERM VOLLURE® XC, Restylane® Refyne, , and Restylane® Kysse. Your injector will choose based on your goals, lip structure, and desired softness or definition.
  • How long do lip filler results last? Most lip fillers last 6–12 months, with touch-ups recommended once results begin to fade.

Can Dermal Fillers Be Combined With Other Treatments?

Dermal fillers work synergistically with other treatments to deliver comprehensive results. They can be paired with Botox® or Dysport® for wrinkle reduction, with resurfacing options like chemical peels or microneedling to enhance skin quality, or with body contouring treatments such as CoolSculpting® to restore volume and smoothness after fat reduction.

What To Expect At Your Dermal Filler Appointment

What is it like to get CoolTone treatments at Destination Aesthetics™? Here’s a look at what you can expect each step of the way.

Step 1

Your Consultation

Your appointment begins with a personalized consultation where your injector reviews your goals, facial anatomy, and lifestyle. Together, you’ll discuss treatment areas, filler options, and expected outcomes so your plan feels customized and achievable.

Step 2

Your Treatment

The skin is cleansed and numbed with a topical or local anesthetic for comfort. Using a fine needle or cannula, your injector places filler with precision, sometimes gently massaging the area to ensure even distribution. Most treatments take between 15 and 60 minutes depending on the number of areas addressed.

Step 3

Your Recovery & Results

You’ll see immediate improvement in volume and contour, though mild swelling or bruising can appear. These effects typically resolve within a week, revealing smoother, more youthful features. With proper aftercare, results can last from 6 months to 2 years depending on the product used.

Are Dermal Filler Treatments Safe?

Yes. Dermal fillers are FDA-approved, widely studied, and considered safe when performed by trained injectors. At Destination Aesthetics™, our providers have advanced expertise in anatomy and technique, ensuring precise placement for natural results while minimizing risk. Treatments are nonsurgical and low-risk, with side effects typically mild and temporary.

What Are Possible Side Effects?

Possible side effects, while rare, may include:

  • Mild swelling or redness at the injection site, resolving within hours to a few days
  • Temporary tenderness or firmness, subsiding within 1–2 weeks
  • Minor bruising that fades naturally within several days
  • Rare unevenness or small lumps, which can be adjusted or dissolved if needed

Our team of experienced clinicians combines advanced training with a personalized approach, ensuring every treatment is delivered safely, effectively, and with natural-looking results.

More Dermal Filler FAQs

The cost of a dermal filler treatment depends on several factors, including the type of filler used and the volume injected. Fillers are typically priced per syringe. The best way to determine your expected cost is to schedule a one-on-one consultation with one of our helpful DA™ injectors, who will walk you through your treatment plan and provide a personalized pricing estimate.

Most fillers last 6–18 months depending on the area treated and the type of product used. Hyaluronic acid fillers like JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® are gradually metabolized by the body, while biostimulatory options like Sculptra® may last up to 2 years. Many patients find that regular maintenance sessions help results look consistent and natural over time.

Your comfort is always a priority. Most fillers are formulated with lidocaine, and we also apply topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort. Patients typically describe the sensation as quick pinches or pressure, and any mild tenderness fades quickly after treatment.

Yes. Our injectors specialize in artistry and balance. By tailoring product choice and placement to your facial anatomy, we create refreshed results that enhance your features without looking overdone. Friends and coworkers may notice you look more rested or vibrant, without realizing you’ve had a treatment.

Recovery is minimal. Some swelling, redness, or bruising can occur, but these effects usually resolve within a week. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, or blood-thinning medications for 24–48 hours to minimize side effects. Most patients return to daily activities right away.

Yes. One advantage of hyaluronic acid fillers is that they can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This provides peace of mind if you ever wish to adjust or reverse your results.

It depends on your goals. Some patients in their 20s and 30s choose fillers for lip enhancement or contouring, while others in their 40s and beyond focus on restoring volume lost with age. A consultation helps determine the right timing and approach for you.

Definitely! Lots of men use fillers to sharpen their jawline, lift their cheeks, or refresh under-eye hollows. Treatments are customized to keep features looking natural and masculine while reducing signs of tiredness or aging.
