Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore lost volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial features. At MiraMed in Santa Barbara, our providers most commonly use Revanesse Versa+ and Revanesse Lips+ hyaluronic acid fillers, Belotero, and Radiesse to achieve natural-looking results that complement your unique beauty. Half-syringe lip filler starts at $575 and full-syringe filler at $750; Radiesse starts at $875 per syringe.
Whether you’re looking to enhance your lips, restore cheek volume, or smooth nasolabial folds, our experienced injectors create personalized treatment plans under the supervision of Dr. Hetal Patel, MD.
Unlike Botox which relaxes muscles, fillers add volume and structure. Many patients combine both treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Dermal filler appointments at MiraMed typically take 45-60 minutes, including consultation, assessment, preparation, and treatment. Most patients have minimal downtime, though temporary swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness, firmness, or small lumps at the injection sites are common and generally improve as the area heals. Results are visible immediately and are best assessed after initial swelling has settled, generally around 2 weeks; depending on the product, treatment area, and individual metabolism, results may last approximately 6-18 months. Typically one treatment session is needed, with maintenance treatments when results begin to diminish.
Good candidates for dermal fillers are adults looking to restore or enhance volume, improve facial balance and contour, or soften certain lines and folds. Fillers are generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding and may not be appropriate with active infection or inflammation in the treatment area, certain severe allergies, or certain autoimmune disorders – medications, allergies, and medical history are reviewed before treatment.
