Looking in the mirror and seeing a reflection that radiates confidence and vitality is a goal many of us share.
At Gill Aesthetic Institute in Lodi, CA, we believe that achieving a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance can be a subtle and natural process.
Led by the skilled hands and artistic eye of Dr. Ruby Gill, our team of expert practitioners specializes in using advanced dermal fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, and Voluma to enhance your natural beauty, not mask it.
What You Need to Know About Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable gels, primarily composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in our bodies. HA plays a crucial role in maintaining skin hydration and volume. Over time, as our bodies produce less HA, our skin loses elasticity and plumpness, leading to wrinkles, folds, and a loss of facial volume.
Fillers work by replenishing lost HA, restoring volume and smoothing out lines and wrinkles. But it’s not just about filling in gaps – it’s about sculpting and enhancing your unique facial features to create a revitalized and refreshed appearance.
Our Dermal Filler Services
At Gill Aesthetic Institute, we offer a comprehensive range of dermal filler treatments to address various aesthetic concerns:
Lip Fillers
Our lip enhancement treatments go beyond simply adding volume. We focus on creating harmony and balance, enhancing the natural shape of your lips while addressing concerns such as asymmetry and fine lines around the mouth.
Whether you desire a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic transformation, our customized approach ensures results that complement your facial features.
Juvederm
This versatile family of fillers is designed to target different areas of the face. We use various Juvederm formulations to smooth nasolabial folds (smile lines), soften marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth to the chin), and enhance cheek volume. The unique cross-linked hyaluronic acid composition of Juvederm allows for smooth, natural-looking results that can last up to 18 months.
Restylane
Another hyaluronic acid-based filler, Restylane offers a range of products suitable for different treatment areas. We often use Restylane for lip enhancement, under-eye hollows, and fine lines. Its ability to integrate seamlessly with your skin’s tissue makes it an excellent choice for delicate areas that require a soft, natural touch.
Voluma
A standout in the Juvederm collection, Voluma is specifically designed to address age-related volume loss in the midface area. This robust filler can restore youthful contours to the cheeks, providing lift and definition that can last up to two years. Voluma’s unique formulation allows for deeper injection, creating a scaffolding effect that lifts and supports the overlying skin.

The Benefits of Choosing Dermal Fillers
Opting for dermal fillers at Gill Aesthetic Institute offers numerous advantages:
Immediate Results
Unlike many other cosmetic treatments, dermal fillers provide instant gratification. You’ll notice improvements immediately after your treatment, with results continuing to refine over the following days as any minor swelling subsides.
Minimal Downtime
Dermal filler treatments are often referred to as “lunchtime procedures” due to their quick nature and minimal recovery time. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
Non-Surgical Rejuvenation
Dermal fillers offer a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures, allowing you to achieve significant improvements without the risks and downtime associated with surgery.
Customizable Treatments
Every face is unique, and so is every treatment at Gill Aesthetic Institute. We tailor our approach to your specific facial structure, concerns, and aesthetic goals, ensuring results that enhance your natural beauty.
Boost in Confidence
The subtle yet impactful changes achieved through dermal fillers can significantly boost your self-esteem and confidence, helping you feel more comfortable and assured in your appearance.
Reversibility and Adjustability
Most dermal fillers used at our institute are temporary, allowing for adjustments over time as your face naturally changes. This also provides peace of mind, knowing that if you’re unhappy with the results (which is rare under Dr. Gill’s expert care), the effects can be reversed.
The Dermal Filler Procedure: What to Expect
At Gill Aesthetic Institute, we understand that considering dermal fillers is a personal journey. Our expert team, led by Dr. Ruby Gill, is dedicated to creating a welcoming and supportive environment where you can explore your aesthetic goals with confidence.
Your Consultation: The First Step to a More Confident You
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, a relaxed conversation with one of our skilled practitioners. We’ll take the time to listen to your concerns, understand your desired outcomes, and assess your facial features. This allows us to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and preferences.
The Treatment Process: Comfort and Expertise Combined
On your treatment day, your comfort is our priority. We’ll ensure a relaxing atmosphere as we cleanse the treatment area and apply a topical anesthetic if needed. Our practitioners’ gentle touch and precise injection techniques minimize any discomfort. With their deep understanding of facial anatomy, they’ll skillfully place the filler to enhance your natural features and create a refreshed, rejuvenated look.
Post-Treatment Care: Your Journey to Long-lasting Results
After your treatment, we’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and the most beautiful, long-lasting results. We also schedule a follow-up appointment to assess your progress and address any questions or concerns you may have.
Whether you’re seeking fuller lips, smoother skin, restored volume, or a more defined jawline, our range of dermal filler options can be customized to meet your individual needs. We prioritize natural-looking enhancements that subtly elevate your beauty, leaving you feeling refreshed, revitalized, and confident.
Is the Procedure Painful?
We strive to make your experience as comfortable as possible. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the injection process. We use fine needles and can apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area to minimize any sensation.
Treatment Areas: Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation
At Gill Aesthetic Institute, we offer dermal filler treatments for a wide range of facial areas, allowing for comprehensive rejuvenation:
| Area | Description |
| Lips | Beyond simple volume enhancement, our lip treatments focus on creating balanced, natural-looking lips that complement your facial features. We can address issues such as thinning lips, asymmetry, and perioral lines (smoker’s lines around the mouth). |
| Cheeks | Age-related volume loss in the cheeks can contribute significantly to a tired or aged appearance. Using fillers like Voluma, we can restore youthful contours, providing lift and definition to the midface area. |
| Nasolabial Folds | These lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth can be softened and smoothed with carefully placed dermal fillers, creating a more youthful and rested appearance. |
| Marionette Lines | These downturned lines from the corners of the mouth to the chin can create a sad or angry appearance. Filling these areas can dramatically improve your overall facial expression. |
| Under-Eye Area | Hollow or sunken under-eyes can be gently filled to reduce the appearance of dark circles and create a more refreshed look. This delicate area requires exceptional skill and precision, which Dr. Gill has honed over years of practice. |
| Jawline and Chin | Dermal fillers can be used to enhance jawline definition and improve chin projection, creating more balanced facial proportions. |
| Temples | Temple hollowing is often an overlooked sign of aging. Restoring volume in this area can have a significant impact on overall facial harmony. |
How Long Do Dermal Filler Results Last?
The longevity of results varies depending on the type of filler used and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle. In general, most dermal fillers last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the expected duration of different fillers and help you choose the one that aligns with your desired results.
How Do I Know if Dermal Fillers Are Right for Me?
The best way to determine if they are right for you is to schedule a consultation with our experienced team at Gill Aesthetic Institute. We’ll take a personalized approach, considering your individual needs, goals, and medical history.
Here are some general guidelines to help you assess whether dermal fillers might be a good fit:
Ideal Candidates
- Healthy Adults: Individuals in good overall health and without any underlying medical conditions that could interfere with the healing process.
- Realistic Expectations: Those who have realistic expectations about what dermal fillers can achieve. Fillers can enhance your appearance but aren’t a substitute for surgery.
- Specific Concerns: People with specific concerns such as wrinkles, fine lines, volume loss, or asymmetry in certain areas of the face.
- Desire for Subtle Enhancement: Individuals seeking natural-looking results that complement their existing features.
Age Considerations
- Early 30s and Up: While there’s no strict age limit, most people start considering dermal fillers in their early 30s when the first signs of aging become apparent.
- 40s and 50s: Dermal fillers can be particularly beneficial in these age groups to address deeper wrinkles, volume loss, and sagging skin.
- 60s and Beyond: Even at this stage, fillers can provide a refreshed appearance and help maintain a youthful look.
Important Note: We believe in responsible and ethical aesthetic practices. During your consultation, we will carefully assess your individual circumstances and recommend only the treatments that we believe are safe and appropriate for you. We prioritize your health and well-being above all else.
