Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They are commonly used to treat areas such as the cheeks, lips, chin, and under the eyes, as well as to soften lines around the nose and mouth. Most dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that attracts water and keeps the skin hydrated and plump. Other types of fillers include calcium hydroxylapatite and poly-L-lactic acid, which help stimulate collagen production.

Dermal fillers are a non-surgical, minimally invasive option that provides immediate results with little to no downtime. They can last anywhere from several months to over a year, depending on the type of filler and the area treated.

You’ll notice instant results with your filler treatment! However, we do recommend scheduling your appointment at least two weeks before any special events. This allows time for any swelling or bruising to fully subside, ensuring your filler looks its absolute best!

The longevity of filler varies based on the type of filler used, areas treated, and your natural metabolism.

Average longevity based on treatment area are as follows:

Cheek Filler: 9–18 months
Under Eye Filler: 12–18 months
Lip filler: 6–12 months
Lower Face Filler: 9–18 months
Neckline/Tech-Neck Filler: 6–9 months
Jawline Filler: 9–18 months
Nasolabial Fold (Smile/Laugh Lines) Filler: 9-12 months
Earlobe Filler: 9–18 months
Temple Filler: 9–12 months
Hand Filler: 18–24 months

To achieve best results, most patients require multiple syringes of filler. This can often be accomplished in one session, though some cases may benefit from a series of visits. Once you’ve reached your ideal outcome, maintenance is typically recommended once or twice a year, usually requiring less product to maintain your refreshed look.

Filler treatments require no downtime, and you’ll see visible results immediately. While your initial outcome will look great, results will continue to improve and reach their best after about two weeks. Mild swelling and/or bruising may occur following treatment, which is why we recommend scheduling your appointment at least two weeks before any major events to ensure you look your absolute best.

Filler injections are generally well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort. Many of the fillers we use, such as Juvéderm and Restylane, contain lidocaine, a numbing agent, to enhance comfort during the treatment. Additionally, we will apply a topical numbing cream before your procedure to make the experience as painless as possible.

Following a consultation, a typical filler treatment takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. This makes it a convenient option for those with busy schedules, as the procedure is relatively quick and minimally invasive.

Yes, hyaluronic acid-based fillers, such as those in the Juvéderm and Restylane lines, can be reversed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This enzyme safely dissolves the filler if you’re not satisfied with the results.

Absolutely! Fillers can be combined with other treatments for a more comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. Common combinations include fillers with Botox for both wrinkle relaxation and volume restoration, as well as pairing fillers with treatments like chemical peels to enhance skin texture and tone. During your consultation, we can create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals.

At Look Lab, our highly trained providers are here to guide you every step of the way. With their extensive expertise and in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy, you can trust them to recommend the most suitable filler based on your unique goals and needs. During your consultation, they will carefully assess your facial structure, skin type, and desired outcomes to create a customized plan. Whether you’re looking to add volume, smooth fine lines, or enhance facial contours, our experts will help you select the perfect filler to achieve natural, beautiful results.

An “overdone” look usually happens when too much filler is used, or when it’s placed incorrectly, leading to exaggerated or unnatural results. At Look Lab, our philosophy is all about achieving natural, balanced enhancements that bring out the best version of you. Our expert providers are trained in Beverly Hills and focus on creating subtle, refined results that enhance your natural beauty without going overboard. During your consultation, we’ll carefully assess your facial features and ensure that we use the right amount of filler in the right areas to achieve a fresh, youthful look—not an overfilled appearance.

While both fillers and Botox are injectable treatments, they work in different ways and address different concerns.

Fillers are used to restore volume, enhance facial contours, and smooth out deeper wrinkles by adding fullness to areas like the cheeks, lips, and under the eyes. They are made from hyaluronic acid and provide immediate results.

Botox, on the other hand, works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles. It works to smooth out expression lines rather than adding volume. Botox typically takes a few days to show full results and lasts for about 3 to 4 months.

In short, fillers add volume and structure, while Botox reduces muscle activity to smooth lines. Many patients choose to combine the two for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

At Look Lab, we charge $800 per syringe for all fillers. Most patients typically require more than one syringe to achieve their desired results. What sets our pricing approach apart is that we’ve intentionally priced all our fillers the same. This allows our expert providers to recommend the best filler for your unique needs without any influence from price differences. Our goal is for you to receive the most effective treatment for optimal results, without having to worry about cost impacting the decision.
