Dermal Fillers in San Diego, CA
As we age, our faces naturally lose volume. Cheeks flatten, lips thin, and fine lines settle in. Aging gracefully means choosing enhancements that work with your features, not against them. Dermal fillers are one of the most effective and customizable ways to refresh your look without changing what makes you, you.
At Sthetics Med Spa, we specialize in natural-looking filler results that restore volume, enhance contours, and soften lines—all with a light, artistic touch. Whether you're looking to smooth out deep smile lines, sculpt your cheekbones, or enhance your lips, our experienced aesthetic providers will create a personalized plan tailored to your face and your goals.
Dermal fillers are injectable gels made from hyaluronic acid (HA)—a substance your body naturally produces to keep skin hydrated and plump. These fillers are used to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and refine facial features with precision and flexibility.
At Sthetics Med Spa, we use FDA-approved filler brands to customize each treatment based on your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Fillers are a safe, well-tolerated, and trusted option for clients seeking refreshed, lifted, and naturally youthful results without surgery.
Every treatment begins with a personalized consultation, where we’ll map out your goals and discuss the best product and placement for your features. Once your plan is in place, a topical numbing agent is applied for comfort, and the filler is carefully injected using fine needles or cannulas.
The appointment typically lasts 30–60 minutes. Most clients describe the experience as very tolerable, with mild pressure or pinching during the injections. You’ll see results immediately, with minimal swelling or bruising that usually resolves within a few days.

Fillers can also help smooth out fine lines around the mouth and restore a more lifted, youthful appearance overall.
The biggest advantage of dermal fillers is their versatility. Whether you want to lift, contour, smooth, or subtly volumize, fillers allow for precise enhancements that still look like you. With instant results, little to no downtime, and long-lasting effects, they’re a powerful tool for maintaining a naturally youthful look.
Unlike more invasive procedures, fillers are easily adjustable and reversible, offering flexibility as your face—and preferences—change over time.
If you’re noticing signs of facial volume loss, fine lines, or simply want more definition in areas like your lips or jawline, dermal fillers may be a great fit. They’re safe for most healthy adults and can be tailored to suit a wide range of ages, skin types, and goals.
Clients with allergies to the filler ingredients or certain medical conditions may not be eligible. During your consultation, we’ll review your history and help you decide if fillers are right for you.
Recovery following a dermal filler treatment is minimal. For a few days, you may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. Cold compresses and gentle care can help speed healing. Most clients return to normal activities immediately after treatment, although we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise or facial massages for 24–48 hours.
Your provider will give you aftercare instructions to ensure the best outcome and help your results settle beautifully.
You’ll see immediate improvements in volume and contour after your treatment, with final results visible once swelling subsides—usually within a few days. Depending on the area treated and the type of filler used, results can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months.
Routine touch-ups are recommended to maintain your look over time. We’ll help you build a plan that works with your skin and schedule.
