If 2026 is your year to finally perfect your pout, you are in good company. Whether you are a bride-to-be planning a spring wedding in the Valley or just ready to refresh your look for the New Year, lip fillers remain one of the most requested treatments at our Sacramento, Roseville, Elk Grove, Folsom, and El Dorado Hills locations.
But with popularity comes questions. How much do they really cost? Will I look “done” or natural? How long do they last?
At Destination Aesthetics™, we believe in total transparency and education. We aren’t just a med spa; we are a Top 10 Allergan Account in the nation. That means our #DAGs (Destination Aesthetics Guys and Gals) perform more injections than 99% of practices in the country.
Here is your ultimate guide to getting the “DA Lips” you’ve always wanted.
The “DA Lips” Difference: It’s Not Just Filler
Many new patients worry about ending up with “duck lips” or an unnatural shelf. We get it. That’s why we developed our signature DA Lips approach.
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all syringe. Instead, we use a curated selection of premium dermal fillers – including the JUVÉDERM® Collection and the RHA® Collection – to customize your result.
- For Volume: We might choose a robust filler to add pillowy fullness.
- For Definition: We can use a softer, more flexible product to define the vermilion border (the edge of your lip) without bulk.
- The Lip Flip: For many clients, we combine filler with a Botox® Lip Flip, using just a few units of neuromodulator to relax the upper lip muscle, allowing it to “flip” slightly outward for a subtle, fuller appearance without added volume.
Cost: What Are the Market Rates in Sacramento?
Pricing is the #1 question we get. While we can’t give you an exact quote without seeing your unique anatomy, we can give you the transparency you deserve.
In the Sacramento market, high-quality, FDA-approved lip fillers typically range from $650 to $900 per syringe. Most patients achieve their desired look with 1 to 2 syringes initially.
Why the range? The price depends on the specific product we use.
- JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC (great for subtle hydration and smoothing vertical lines) may have a different price point than JUVÉDERM® ULTRA PLUS XC (used for bolder volume).
- The RHA® Collection (Resilient Hyaluronic Acid) is a newer, premium option designed to adapt to facial movement, offering an incredibly natural feel that moves with you.
At DA™, we offer flexible payment plans to make your dream lips accessible. During your consultation, we will provide a precise breakdown so there are never any surprises.
Duration: How Long Will My New Lips Last?
Lip fillers are not permanent, but they are long-lasting. You can typically expect your results to last between 6 and 12 months.
Why the variation?
- Metabolism: Some people metabolize the hyaluronic acid (HA) faster than others.
- Movement: The lips are a high-movement area (talking, eating, smiling), which can break down product faster than in cheeks or chins.
- Product Choice: Some formulas are cross-linked specifically for longevity.
Pro Tip: To maintain your look year-round, most DA clients schedule a “mini-refresh” or touch-up appointment at the 6-month mark.
Calling All 2026 Brides: The “DA Bride” Timeline
If you are getting married this year, January and February are the critical months to book your lip filler consultation.
Through our signature DA Bride program, we recommend scheduling your first lip treatment at least 3 to 4 months before the wedding.
- Month 1: Initial injection.
- Month 2: Touch-up (if needed) to perfect symmetry.
- Month 4 (Wedding Day): Your lips are fully settled, hydrated, and picture-perfect.
Never get filler within 2 weeks of your big day! You want to ensure any potential swelling or bruising is completely gone before you walk down the aisle.
