Dermal Fillers: The Basics

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance facial contours. As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen, elasticity, and fat—leading to hollowness, wrinkles, and a loss of definition. At Moradi MD in San Diego, dermal fillers are used with expert precision to create subtle, elegant rejuvenation without surgery.

What are the benefits of dermal fillers?

  • Instantly restores volume to hollowed or sunken facial areas
  • Smooths lines, wrinkles, and creases
  • Enhances lips, cheeks, chin, and jawline
  • Improves skin texture and elasticity
  • Results visible immediately with little to no downtime
  • Supports collagen production for longer-lasting results
  • Customizable and suitable for all skin types

How Much Do Dermal Fillers Cost?

The cost of dermal fillers depends on the type of filler used, the number of syringes, and the treatment area. We provide a full quote at the time of your consultation. We never overfill—instead, we build results gradually, using only what’s needed to enhance your natural beauty.

The Treatment Experience: What To Expect

Dermal filler injections typically take 30 to 45 minutes and require no anesthesia, though numbing cream is available for sensitive areas. After cleaning and mapping the treatment area, your provider will inject the filler with a fine needle or cannula. The product is placed with precision to achieve optimal symmetry and smooth, lifted contours. You may feel a light pinch or pressure, but discomfort is minimal. After the injections, you can return to your day—with immediate visible results.

Recovery After Dermal Filler Injections

You’ll notice fuller, smoother skin right away, though minor swelling may temporarily affect your appearance. Any redness, bruising, or tenderness is usually mild and resolves within a few days. Applying ice and avoiding strenuous activity for 24 hours can help reduce side effects. You should also avoid touching or massaging the treated areas. Final results typically settle within one to two weeks. Depending on the type of filler used, results can last from six months to two years or longer. Regular maintenance helps prolong your results.
