How Much Do Dermal Fillers Cost?

If you notice less natural fullness in your face, dermal fillers are a quick and effective solution that restores lost volume while enhancing facial features and smoothing lines and wrinkles. However, dermal fillers cost different amounts depending on the treatment areas and the type of filler used. It is key to fully understand the factors that impact the price of your treatment so that you can reach your aesthetic goals and boost your confidence.

Understanding How Dermal Fillers Work

Dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid-based fillers, which your skin naturally produces. They can be injected under the skin to improve the appearance of several different areas of the face. The main purposes of dermal fillers are to restore lost volume, enhance the shape or size of a specific feature, improve definition and contours, create better facial balance, and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

There are several different types of dermal fillers, for example, cheek dermal fillers, but the most common types include those composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that attracts water for a plumping effect, or biostimulatory materials that increase the amount of volume in the skin via collagen stimulation. You may recognize popular dermal fillers by their brand names, which include Juvederm, Restylane, Sculptra, and Radiesse.

While both options work well, hyaluronic acid draws water to the area for immediate fullness, while collagen-stimulating fillers work over time and require several sessions.

7 Factors That Impact the Cost of Dermal Fillers

The cost of dermal filler in San Francisco, CA, and Burlingame, CA equates to the number of syringes used. Some types of fillers are more expensive than others. Since no two faces are alike, the amount and type of filler that one person needs will likely differ from someone else. Other factors to consider also affect the price of your filler treatment. The final dermal filler cost will depend on the following:

  • The type of filler used. Longer-lasting fillers have a slightly higher price. 
  • The amount of filler used. It’s worth noting that each syringe of filler is the equivalent of ⅕ of a teaspoon.
  • Complimentary treatments recommended
  • Your injector’s expertise and qualifications
  • The physical location of the medspa where you choose to get dermal filler
  • The number of sessions needed to achieve your desired results

If you like the results achieved with dermal fillers, consider your maintenance sessions, how frequently you will need to get touch-ups, and how that also impacts the price of your fillers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a consultation important when calculating what my dermal filler will cost?

A consultation is a good way to determine the cost of your filler treatment. We will first perform a full-face evaluation during a consultation with our team. Then, we will recommend the best dermal filler options and help you devise a custom treatment that fits your budget.

What other costs, besides the filler itself, should I be aware of?

In addition to the price of the filler, there may be costs associated with touch-up treatments, additional recommended skincare products that will help enhance your skin, and complimentary cosmetic treatments and procedures.

Are there any risks or side effects associated with dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are generally well-tolerated, but like all other elective treatments and procedures, potential risks and side effects can occur. Bruising, swelling, redness, and allergic reactions are the most common side effects that may be experienced during dermal filler recovery. These side effects are typically mild and should resolve on their own.

How long do dermal fillers last?

The results of your dermal fillers can last six to 12 months, if not longer, depending on the type of filler used, your individual’s metabolism, the amount of filler used, and the treatment area. Collagen-stimulating fillers can provide results for up to two years.

Will my insurance cover the cost of my dermal filler?

Since dermal filler is an elective cosmetic procedure, insurance does not cover its cost.

What is the average cost of dermal fillers?

We calculate the cost of dermal fillers per syringe. However, the cost largely depends on the treatment area and the type of filler used. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average price of hyaluronic acid fillers is $715, and bio stimulators are $901. Different brands can cost more than others.
