Hyaluronic acid fillers (HA fillers) are a popular, non-surgical treatment designed to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in your skin that helps retain moisture, keeping it hydrated and plump. When injected into targeted areas, HA fillers replenish lost volume and improve skin elasticity, resulting in a refreshed, youthful appearance.
Our most common treatment areas include the temples, under eye hollows, cheeks, nasolabial folds (smile lines), lips, chin, jawline. These areas are FDA approved to treat with fillers in the Juvéderm collection. The treatment is minimally invasive, and the hyaluronic acid gradually absorbs over time—making it a temporary yet effective solution for facial rejuvenation.
Ideal candidates for HA fillers in Novato range from their 20s to 90s, depending on skin condition and aesthetic goals. Results typically become visible instantly and settle within two weeks. Longevity varies by product and treatment area but generally lasts from twelve months to two years.
At The Aesthetic Effect, we use FDA approved Juvederm hyaluronic acid filler to smooth fine lines, restore volume, and add natural-looking fullness and hydration. Juvederm treatments provide immediate results that enhance your features with subtle, age-defying effects.

You will see immediate results from HA Fillers, with the treated areas appearing restored and more youthful right after the procedure. However, it typically days to two weeks for the final results to settle as look their best.
HA Fillers are associated with minimal downtime. Some patients may experience bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site, but these symptoms usually subside after a few days. Shortly after the treatment, you can resume your normal activities. Please refer to the pre and post care guidelines emailed to you when your appointment is booked.
Before your HA Filler treatment, avoiding blood-thinning medications such as aspirin and ibuprofen is best to minimize the risk of bruising. After the treatment, it’s recommended to avoid strenuous activities, excessive sun exposure, and alcohol 24-48 hours after the procedure. Please refer to the pre and post care guidelines emailed to you when your appointment is booked.
We inject small amounts of HA Fillers into targeted areas using a fine needle and/or cannula during the treatment. It usually takes between 15 and 30 minutes, and most patients experience minimal discomfort because the filler contains lidocaine. Other comfort measures can be taken during treatment such as topical numbing cream.
