Dermal Fillers at Belle Marin: Volume, Harmony & Effortless Elegance
At Belle Marin Aesthetic Medicine, we believe age-defying beauty is best expressed through artfully subtle refinement — not dramatic change. Dermal fillers are injectables that effectively restore volume, soften lines, and enhance facial harmony with immediate, natural-looking results.
Our curated collection of FDA-approved dermal fillers is designed to treat everything from fine lines and deep folds to deflated cheeks and thinning lips. Each formula is carefully selected by Dr. Faye Jamali to reflect your facial structure, aesthetic goals, and the Belle Marin commitment to understated elegance.
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid (HA)—a naturally occurring molecule in the skin that attracts moisture and supports youthful plumpness. These smooth, gel-based injectables are skillfully placed to replenish lost volume, smooth dynamic folds, and restore contours with virtually no downtime.
Depending on the formulation, fillers can be used to:
- Smooth nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Volumize and define lips
- Restore cheek and midface volume
- Soften vertical lip lines and chin creases
- Revive under-eye hollows
- Improve skin texture and hydration

Which Filler Is Right for Me?
Every face is unique — and so is every filler strategy. Whether you’re seeking subtle refinement or strategic volume, Dr. Jamali and her expert team will evaluate your facial anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic vision to select the ideal product and placement for a result that is flattering, balanced, and uniquely you.
Dermal Filler Candidates
Dermal fillers are ideal for individuals who want to restore volume, soften facial lines, or refine contours without surgery or extended downtime. Fillers can also benefit younger patients interested in preventative or structural enhancement.
Good candidates may notice hollowing in the cheeks, thinning lips, deepening folds around the mouth, or under-eye shadows that create a tired appearance. They should also be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and seek subtle, natural-looking improvements rather than dramatic change.
A personalized evaluation helps determine the most appropriate product and placement based on facial anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals.
Dermal Filler Preparation?
Preparing for dermal fillers is simple but important for a smooth experience. About one week before your appointment, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements — including aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, fish oil, and certain herbal products — unless medically necessary. Limiting alcohol for 24–48 hours prior can also reduce the likelihood of bruising.
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin, and expect to discuss your medical history, allergies, and aesthetic goals. If you have a history of cold sores and are treating the lips, preventive medication may be recommended.
Following these steps helps minimize side effects and supports optimal results.
Treatment Experience & Expectations?
Dermal filler treatments are quick, comfortable, and personalized. To ensure your comfort, most HA fillers are formulated with lidocaine, a local anesthetic that gently numbs the area as the product is placed.
Treatment Time: 30–45 minutes
Results: Instantly visible, with continued settling over 7–14 days
Longevity: 6 to 24 months, depending on product and area treated
Downtime: Minimal to none; some swelling or bruising may occur
Post – Appointment Care
After dermal filler treatment, mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising is common and typically resolves within a few days. Applying a cold compress intermittently during the first 24 hours can help reduce swelling.
Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat (such as saunas or hot yoga), and alcohol for the first day. Refrain from massaging or pressing on the treated areas unless instructed otherwise, and sleep with your head slightly elevated the first night to decrease swelling. Makeup can usually be applied the following day if the skin is intact.

FAQ: Dermal Fillers in Mill Valley, CA
Absolutely not. At Belle Marin, we practice precision-based, artistic enhancement, ensuring your results are balanced, soft, and natural — not exaggerated. We’ll discuss your goals in detail and customize a plan that enhances your features, not changes them.
Most patients find the treatment very tolerable. We use gentle techniques, topical numbing if needed, and lidocaine-based fillers to ensure a smooth experience. A brief pinching or pressure sensation may occur and resolves quickly.
Voluma: Up to 2 years in the cheeks
Other Juvéderm and Restylane products: 6–12 months
Sculptra: Gradual improvement over a series of sessions, with results lasting up to 2 years
Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur and typically resolves within a few days. We recommend avoiding alcohol, aspirin, and other blood thinners for several days before and after your treatment to minimize the risk of bruising.
Yes — most hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This treatment quickly and gradually breaks down the filler, restoring the area to its original appearance. It’s commonly used to adjust results or address rare complications, offering flexibility and peace of mind.
Most routine daily activities can resume immediately. However, strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and exposure to high-heat environments such as saunas or hot yoga should be avoided for 24 hours. This helps decrease swelling and bruising while allowing the filler to settle properly.
The amount of filler needed depends on the treatment area, your facial anatomy, and your goals. Some areas may require only one syringe, while others — such as cheeks or full facial balancing — may require multiple syringes. A personalized consultation determines the right approach for natural, balanced results.
