What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are non-surgical, injectable treatments designed to restore lost volume, smooth facial wrinkles, and enhance natural contours. At Sandia Skin + Face in Albuquerque, we use FDA-approved cosmetic fillers to address common concerns like tired under-eyes, thinning lips, and sagging cheeks—always with a focus on balance and personalized care. Every treatment plan is tailored to your facial anatomy, goals, and natural beauty.
Where Dermal Fillers Work Best
Dermal filler treatments target key areas where volume loss, fine lines, or imbalance tend to show first. Here are the areas we treat most often:
- Lips – for natural volume, shape, symmetry, and vertical lines
- Cheeks (mid-face) – to restore youthful lift and contour
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines) – smoothing deep creases from nose to mouth
- Under - eyes (tear troughs) – improving hollowness and dark circles
- Marionette lines – softening drooping lines around the mouth
- Jawline & Chin – sculpting strong definition and profile balance
- Non-surgical Rhinoplasty – reshaping the nose bridge and tip
- Temples – refinishing upper-face volume loss

Hyaluronic-Acid (HA) Fillers
HA fillers are the most popular cosmetic injectables because they attract moisture, add volume, and feel soft under the skin. They’re also reversible and highly customizable—ideal for lips, cheeks, and under-eye areas. At Sandia Skin + Face, our most popular HA dermal filler brands include:
Brands We Carry
JUVÉDERM®
JUVÉDERM®: a widely recognized HA filler that offers a range of products tailored for different facial areas, from adding subtle volume to lips to contouring cheeks. Its smooth gel consistency provides natural-looking, long-lasting results.
RESTYLANE®
RESTYLANE®: Another leading HA filler known for its effectiveness in enhancing facial contours and smoothing wrinkles. It offers a variety of formulations, each designed to address specific concerns, such as lip augmentation and wrinkle reduction.
RHA®

Biostimulators
Unlike traditional fillers, biostimulators trigger your body’s natural collagen production to restore volume and improve skin structure over time. They’re ideal for treating deeper volume loss, skin laxity, and age-related changes—offering gradual, natural-looking results that continue to improve for months.
Sculptra® (Poly-L-lactic Acid)
Sculptra® (Poly-L-lactic Acid): The first FDA-approved PLLA collagen stimulator, Sculptra works deep within the skin to rebuild collagen while gradually improving skin quality, firmness, and smoothness—with results that can last up to two years.

Radiesse® (Calcium Hydroxylapatite): Contains calcium-based microspheres that provide immediate lift while stimulating long-term collagen growth. It’s commonly used to define cheeks, contour the jawline, and rejuvenate aging hands—offering structure and support with results lasting a year or more.
Customized Enhancements & Filler Correction in Albuquerque, NM
Not all filler results are created equal. Whether you’re enhancing the lips or undoing work that doesn’t feel like you, our advanced options go beyond the basics to ensure results that feel balanced, natural, and right for your face.
Russian Lip Technique
Looking for pillowy, lifted lips with crisp definition? This advanced lip method places filler vertically—rather than horizontally—to build height and structure. The result? A more contoured, heart-shaped look with less outward projection and better facial harmony.
Filler Dissolving with Hyaluronidase
Not quite loving your results from your last provider? Whether your filler was placed elsewhere or just didn’t turn out quite right, you’re not stuck with it. We offer hyaluronidase, an injectable enzyme that safely breaks down hyaluronic acid-based filler. It’s ideal for correcting unevenness or starting fresh, and our team will walk you through the process with care, clarity, and no judgment.

Whether you’re looking to enhance your profile or turn back the clock a bit, we’ll create a customized plan designed specifically for your goals, anatomy, and lifestyle.

FAQ
How long do dermal fillers last in the face or lips?
Most dermal fillers last between 6 and 18 months, depending on the product and the area treated. Lip fillers may metabolize faster than fillers in the cheeks or jawline.
Is there any downtime after dermal filler injections?
Most patients experience little to no downtime. You may have some mild swelling, redness, or bruising, but most people return to normal activities immediately.
Can dermal filler be dissolved if I don’t like the results?
Yes. If you’re unhappy with your filler results or want to revise previous work, we offer hyaluronidase—a safe enzyme that dissolves hyaluronic acid-based fillers.
How much do dermal fillers cost in Albuquerque?
The cost varies based on the type of filler, the area treated, and how many syringes are needed. During your consultation, we’ll give you a clear, customized quote. PatientFi financing is available.
What’s the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?
Botox is a neuromodulator that relaxes muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions (like crow’s feet or forehead lines). Dermal fillers, on the other hand, add volume to smooth static wrinkles and enhance features like lips, cheeks, and the jawline.
