Lia CabreraAs we get older, losing a bit of volume on the face simply can’t be helped. While Botox can be effective for reducing wrinkles, I find that dermal fillers are better at restoring youthful plumpness and reducing sagging.
The best place to have these done is at a dermal filler clinic. With the clinic’s licensed dermatologists and plastic surgeons, clients can be confident their bodies are treated with respect and receive the best possible care.
Before you decide on a clinic, I have spoken with several friends and have gathered their choices for the best dermal filler clinics in San Diego. So don’t go for just any clinic; you might simply regret the outcome.
How much do dermal fillers cost in San Diego?
Dermal fillers in San Diego typically cost around $500 to $900 per syringe. This price may vary based on the amount of filler used, the area treated, and the provider’s experience.
1. San Diego Cardiac, Vein & Laser Center
Address: 280 Avocado Ave, El Cajon, CA 92020
Contact Details: +1 619-582-2404
Operating Hours: Monday to Friday: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Led by Dr. Behzad Taghizadeh, San Diego Cardiac Vein & Laser Center offers a wide range of vein-specialized treatments. With over 15 years of service, the center is highly regarded by Health Care for People and SHARP.
They are a premier location for Botox and dermal fillers. The center uses Restylane and Juvederm, two of the most trusted fillers in the industry, which last 12-18 months.
Other aesthetic treatments include their award-winning laser therapy and microneedling services. They offer unique weight-management services, including laser therapy and magnetic body sculpting, which many clients appreciate.
Consultations are straightforward and free, and many reviews on Facebook and Google give them 5 stars. There are also before-and-after photos available on their website, so you can see the results for yourself.
However, some clients have noted miscommunication between staff members, but it has not affected their services.
I am very happy with my results
“I love the Fotona laser!! When I had my consult with Dr. Taghizadeh my goal was to have my lips but better and that is exactly what I got with the Liplase treatment. Even a year later I am very happy with my results and highly recommend the Liplase treatment if you don’t want to do lip filler.”

The procedure was super quick
“Richelle Arce performed my botox (lip flip) , and while I was nervous she understood and was very patient and efficient. The procedure was super quick and she was thorough and concise with the after care instructions. As for results, my lips look fuller and people around me have noticed. Would come to her again!”

2. Botoxie
Address: 3120 University Ave, CA 92104
Contact Details: +1 619-493-2645
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM
- Saturday to Sunday: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Established in 2022 by Leilani Sutherland and Brian Culley, Botoxie offers a wide range of injectables, lasers, and regenerative procedures.
Their dermal filler treatments use four different brands. The main ones are Juvederm and Restylane. They also offer new brands, such as RHA and Versa, which focus on maintaining natural results that last longer.
In addition to dermal fillers, they offer a wide range of neurotoxin treatments, including Botox and Dysport. A unique offer is their Morpheus8 treatment, which combines microneedling and RF energy to improve skin texture and firmness.
They even offer a monthly membership that includes free $10 units of Botox and $50 off all dermal fillers. The membership is worth it, if you ask me, because it’s priced at $35 per month. This also includes a 10% discount for their in-house skincare brand.
Just note that some clients have reported scheduling errors for their treatments. I would suggest always double-checking.
The results were perfect
“Botoxie is amazing! I saw Cathy for a lip filler treatment, not only was the service top notch by Cathy, but the front desk was so friendly, made me feel comfortable as a new customer and explained everything in detail. They provide great work and results in a welcoming environment. Cathy was superb, we chatted like friends and she gave me a thorough rundown of their lip filler options and allowed me to take the time to choose based on my goals. The results were perfect! I am planning to come back for many more fun treatments with Cathy in coming months/years!”

Worked fast and efficiently to maximize results with little to no discomfort
“I had a great experience here with Nurse Nidia. She was so lovely and worked fast and efficiently to maximize my results with little to no discomfort. She was very ethical and explained to me how we could work towards my goal for my lip filler to avoid migration and pain and was very sweet at my follow up. I would recommend this aesthetic spa and my provider to anyone looking for an injector that prioritizes quality work and healing. Also the ladies at the front desk are also so kind and knowledgeable and are willing to help you with any questions you might have.”

3. Laser Clinique
Address: 9200 Scranton Rd, Suite 102, CA 92121
Contact Details: +1 858-481-7701
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 8:30 AM to 6:30 PM
- Saturday: 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM
Laser Clinique is a premier medical spa that integrates cosmetic dermatology and cosmetic surgery. They are accredited by several news outlets, including ABC News and Fox 5 San Diego, as well as by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS).
The clinic is led by Dr. Ataii, a highly skilled skin care specialist. He’s affiliated with the American Academy of Laser Medicine and Surgery (AALMS) and is a Fellow of the California Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (CACS).
I truly value Laser Clinique’s use of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, specifically Juvederm. Impressively, Dr. Ataii has reached Diamond Status with Allergan, the maker of Juvederm, so they get some of the best batches.
Additionally, they use a unique dissolving filler, which is best for those who may need to remove them due to complications or medical emergencies.
However, they do cancel appointments due to overbooking, so keep that in mind.
Always takes time to listen and explain what will look best
“I’ve been seeing Dr. Atai for over five years for filler and Botox, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. He is incredibly skilled, precise, and always takes the time to listen and explain what will look best for my features. My results are natural, refreshed, and consistently beautiful every single time. His professionalism, gentle approach, and eye for detail make all the difference. If you want amazing results and a doctor you can feel completely confident with, Dr. Atai is the one. Highly recommend!”

The staff is simply the best
“I have been to Laser Clinique consistently over the last 11 months and cannot recommend them enough! From Botox, to filler, to misc. other treatments, the staff is simply the best. If you are looking for a new clinic, give them a shot— you won’t be disappointed.”

4. SDBotox
Address: 1400 Camino de la Reina Suite 107, CA 92108
Contact Details: +1 844-732-6869
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM
- Saturday to Sunday: 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM
SDBotox is led by Dr. Alex Roher. He established the clinic in 2012 and has focused on providing minimally invasive cosmetic procedures and micro treatments.
The dermal fillers at SDBotox use Revanesse and Radiesse, which are newer brands that promise up to 2 years of results. Unlike other clinics, their dermal fillers have minimal downtime, so clients can return to daily activities as soon as possible.
I like that, while expensive, they are upfront about their pricing, with a syringe costing $700 to $900, depending on the brand.
Other services include their renowned Botox treatments, delivered via minimally invasive methods. There’s also their liquid rhinoplasty, a non-surgical procedure similar to dermal fillers.
Clients flock to them because they have been featured in the New York Times and Vogue, underscoring the clinic’s expertise as a cosmetic provider.
My face already looks 100 times better
“I had a wonderful experience today at SD Botox. I had to have surgery on my face a number of years ago and it really messed with my self confidence. The receptionist greeted us as soon as we walked in and were very professional. Dr. Rohrer was amazing, did a wonderful job explaining all my options and where I should start, I can say after my filler today my face already looks 100 times better. I highly recommend if you are looking for a Botox facility with highly qualified professionals.”

I had the best experience at SDBotox
“I had the best experience at SDBotox Mission Valley! The whole team was so sweet and made me feel totally at ease, which was so important since it was my first time getting lip filler. Maddy was my provider and she is truly THAT girl—super knowledgeable, explained everything in detail, and made me feel like I was in the best hands. I trusted her instantly with my face, and she did not disappoint! She’s clearly very skilled and passionate about what she does. I’ll definitely be returning to her for all of my future visits!”

5. La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic & Dermatology
Address: 7720 Fay Ave, La Jolla, CA 92037
Contact Details: +1 858-454-2700
Operating Hours: Monday to Friday: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Founded by Nasrin Mani, La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic & Dermatology prioritizes finding non-surgical methods for already existing procedures.
They mainly focus on injectables, such as Juvederm, Sculptra, and Restylane, for their dermal fillers. The clinic administers several types of these three, depending on each patient’s needs and preferences.
For other procedures, they offer reliable, minimally invasive skin cancer screenings. They can even treat acne and psoriasis, which is a valuable service. Laser treatments can rejuvenate the skin.
Uniquely, they also treat hyperhidrosis, a rare service for cosmetic clinics.
Clients appreciate their weekly specials and discounts. Additionally, the clinic offers its own skincare line, often recommended by its in-house dermatologists. I love that they offer a $50 La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic gift card for special occasions, making it a perfect gift.
However, they are not transparent about the pricing for their procedures, which is disappointing.
I gained the confidence to try more facial fillers
“Tammy is amazing! I started small with Botox and typical lip filler, but thanks to Tammy’s gentle touch, I gained the confidence to try more facial fillers to address asymmetry. She has never disappointed!
Her knowledge also made me feel comfortable exploring lasers. As someone with darker skin, I had always been cautious, but Tammy has performed everything from my laser hair removal to Fraxel treatments with excellent results. I’ve noticed visible improvements and couldn’t be happier!
I highly recommend Tammy to anyone who asks…. and even to those who don’t!”

Make me feel so safe throughout the whole thing
“Wonderful!! Dr.Mani is the absolute best. She’s so caring, funny, and make me feel so safe throughout the whole thing! She made me feel so comfortable every step. She explained every step and was so kind and supportive! I’ve only gotten fillers a few times, so its very new to me and she does the best job!! Truly the best place to go to get anything done!”
