Choose from JUVÉDERM®, VOLUMA®, Restylane®, and Bellafill®
Dermal fillers are injectable gels that restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance contour. Most are made with hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in your skin that attracts and retains moisture. Over time, our HA levels decrease—leading to hollowing, lines, and sagging.
Fillers can restore that youthful softness and structure by replenishing hyaluronic acid (HA) where it’s needed most. Some products, like Bellafill®, work differently—offering longer-lasting volume by stimulating collagen production in deeper layers of the skin.
We offer a carefully selected range of injectable fillers:
Best for smoothing lines and restoring cheek volume, these hyaluronic acid (HA)- based fillers offer flexible, natural movement and immediate results. Voluma is especially effective in the mid-face for lifting and contouring.
A trusted option for fine lines, lips, and under-eye areas, Restylane’s smooth consistency makes it ideal for delicate corrections and subtle enhancement.
Bellafill is a longer-lasting filler made with collagen and microspheres that support your skin’s natural structure. It’s ideal for deep folds, acne scars, and patients seeking volume that won’t fade in a few months.
Most filler sessions take 30 to 45 minutes and are performed right in our Encinitas office. After a personalized assessment, your provider will mark the areas to be treated, apply a numbing agent if needed, and perform a series of carefully placed injections.
You may experience mild swelling or bruising afterward, but it usually resolves within a few days. Most patients go right back to work or daily activities immediately.
Dermal fillers are commonly used to address:
Our team will guide you toward the best filler type and placement based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Dermal fillers are one of the most versatile non-surgical treatments in aesthetic medicine. They’re not about changing your face—they’re about bringing back balance, softness, and support where time has quietly taken it away. Whether you're aiming for a touch-up or a full facial refresh, fillers offer practical, proven results with minimal disruption.
If you’re looking for a non-surgical way to refresh and restore, dermal fillers can be a powerful yet gentle option. We’ll help you decide what’s right for your face, your pace, and your comfort level.
As collagen and fat diminish with age, our faces begin to look less lifted and more hollow. Fillers help restore that youthful fullness, especially in the cheeks, temples, and under-eye areas, without creating an overfilled look. The result? A subtle lift that doesn’t scream “I had something done.”
Fillers can soften static wrinkles that don’t respond to neuromodulators (like Botox). This includes smile lines, marionette lines, and chin creases, where skin folds from volume loss. A few targeted injections can significantly reduce the appearance of these lines while preserving your natural expressions.
Strategic filler placement can refine areas such as the jawline, chin, and cheeks, adding gentle structure and enhancing facial balance. This is especially helpful if you're noticing sagging or want to restore definition without surgery.
Fillers can bring softness and hydration back to thinning lips—or add volume where nature didn’t. They’re also highly effective for hand rejuvenation, restoring fullness and minimizing visible veins or tendons.
Most dermal filler treatments take under an hour and require little to no downtime. Depending on the product, results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2+ years, with maintenance touch-ups as needed. That makes fillers a smart, time-efficient solution for anyone seeking real improvement without recovery.
With HA-based fillers like JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®, results are adjustable and reversible, offering peace of mind—especially for first-timers. Each treatment is tailored to your goals, so you stay in control of your look at every stage.
Fillers may be a great option if you’re:
Not all fillers are right for every area or skin type. At your consultation, we’ll walk you through what works best—and just as importantly, what doesn’t.
There is little to no downtime after most dermal filler treatments, but proper aftercare can make a noticeable difference in how your results settle. We recommend:
It’s normal to experience some swelling, redness, or minor bruising after treatment. These usually resolve within a few days. If you're planning for a big event, we suggest scheduling fillers at least 2–4 weeks in advance to give your results time to settle.
Most patients see visible improvement immediately after treatment. As any swelling subsides, your results will continue to soften and refine over the next 3 to 7 days. How long your results last depends on the product used and the area treated:
Maintenance treatments are usually needed once or twice a year to keep your look consistent. We’ll work with you on a plan that aligns with your goals, lifestyle, and natural aging process—because your result should always feel like you.
You can get filler almost anywhere—but the difference is in the hands and the eye behind the needle. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, our approach is guided by surgical expertise and a deep understanding of facial anatomy. We don’t overcorrect, overfill, or chase trends.
Instead, we design each filler plan to suit your features, your comfort level, and the kind of confidence you want to carry forward into the world.
For mid-face volume loss and smile lines (also called nasolabial folds), JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC and Restylane® Lyft are often top choices. These fillers provide structure and lift in areas that tend to flatten or sag with age. Your provider will choose the best product based on your facial anatomy and goals.
Most swelling from dermal fillers subsides within 24 to 72 hours, though mild puffiness or tenderness may linger for a few days, depending on the injection site. Areas like the lips may take slightly longer to settle. Using a cold compress and avoiding strenuous activity can help reduce swelling faster.
Yes—when performed by a qualified provider, dermal fillers are FDA-approved and very safe. All fillers used at Schoemann Plastic Surgery are high-quality and clinically tested. We also review your medical history carefully to ensure safety and minimize any risks or side effects.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers such as JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® can be reversed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which dissolves the filler safely. This adds an extra layer of peace of mind, especially for patients who are new to injectables.
When performed conservatively and by an experienced injector, dermal fillers do not stretch the skin. In fact, they can support thinning skin and slow visible aging. Problems typically arise only when too much filler is used too often—which we avoid entirely at Schoemann Plastic Surgery.
Fillers and Botox treat different concerns. Fillers restore lost volume and fill static lines (like smile lines or cheek hollows), while Botox temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles (like frown lines or crow’s feet). Many patients benefit from combining both for a full-face refresh.
