As our skin matures, the underlying youthful fullness gives way to noticeable creases and folds that can cause us to appear tired and older than we feel. This is caused by a gradual loss of supporting skin structures that give the skin strength, fullness, and integrity. Also, acne breakouts can leave deep scars that can detract from an otherwise smooth complexion.
At Capitis Medical & Aesthetics, we use a variety of injectable fillers to restore a more youthful look. Explore the dermal filler injections available during a consultation with us in San Diego or Roseville, CA.
They may be used to address concerns such as:

- A lack of contour throughout the face
What Are Dermal Fillers Injections?
Dermal filler injections are non-surgical treatments that plump and “fill in” the area beneath the skin to address age-related changes or structural concerns in the lips, mouth, and face. Our expert injectors use a range of fillers to help you best achieve your aesthetic goals, whether you have age-related concerns or are simply looking for cosmetic improvements.
What Are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers?
Fillers can improve the appearance of noticeable lines and wrinkles, exaggerated skin folds, and acne scars. Some dermal fillers can enhance and accentuate the lip contours to give a stunning look to otherwise unremarkable, plain, or thin lips. Other injections can restore the overall volume of sunken facial features that accompany the aging process.
Neuromodulator injections like BOTOX® Cosmetic are ideal for minimizing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle contraction and facial movement. Static wrinkles, however, are caused by a loss of collagen and elastin and can be much deeper. These must be treated with dermal fillers, which can “fill in” the creases for a smooth, youthful look.
Some of the benefits of dermal fillers include:
- Instant Results: Unlike other cosmetic procedures that require multiple sessions or longer recovery time, dermal fillers provide instant results. This makes them a popular choice for those who want to see immediate improvements in their appearance.
- Minimal Downtime: Since dermal fillers are minimally invasive, they do not require any downtime or recovery period. Patients can resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure.
- Long-lasting Effects: Depending on the type of filler used, the effects can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. This means you can enjoy your new and improved look for an extended period without needing frequent touch-ups.
How Much Do Dermal Fillers Cost?
The cost of dermal filler injections in San Diego, CA, will vary depending on the type of injectable, the treatment area, and the amount of injectable formula that is administered. After your comprehensive consultation and a treatment plan has been created to best suit your needs, we will be happy to provide you with an accurate cost estimate.
When Will I See the Results of My Dermal Fillers?
Results achieved with dermal fillers will vary for each individual, the area treated, and the type of filler used. However, one of the benefits of dermal filler injections is the immediate increase of volume in the treated area.
Am I a Candidate for Dermal Fillers?
Dermal filler injections may suit generally healthy adults frustrated with volume loss, deep creases, or a lack of facial contour. Dermal filler injections are compatible with most skin types and tones and may be an excellent option for patients seeking non-surgical methods of addressing their aesthetic concerns.
A consultation with one of our expert injectors in San Diego can help you better explore your treatment options. During your visit, they will evaluate the treatment area, examine your skin, and discuss your concerns.
How Are Dermal Fillers Administered?
Dermal filler injections are administered in the comfort of our California offices. During your outpatient session, each injectable treatment is carefully chosen and administered to the area of concern. While you may experience a slight pinching at the injection site, minimal discomfort is generally associated with the process. Your provider can apply a local anesthetic to the treatment area if necessary.
