Dermal fillers have become one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures in India. Safe, effective, and non-surgical, they can restore volume, contour the face, and diminish visible signs of ageing. One question many patients ask during their first consultation is: “How much do dermal fillers cost in India?”
The cost varies and depends on a range of factors. I understand that patients want to know costs upfront and this post is my attempt to provide a transparent, in-depth look at what you can expect to pay, what affects it, and how to make an informed decision
Understanding Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin. They:
- Restore volume
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
- Enhance lips, cheeks, chin, jawline
- Fill in hollows under the eyes (tear troughs)
- Improve facial balance, symmetry, and youthfulness
The most common dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid (HA). This is a substance that occurs naturally in the body and is well-tolerated with minimal complications. It also helps hydrate and volumeize. Other dermal fillers include Calcium Hydroxylapatite, Poly-L-lactic Acid, and PMMA microspheres. Each has a slightly different effect and duration.
Factors That Influence the Cost of Dermal Fillers in India
Here are some factors to understand why dermal filler costs may be different across clinics, locations, and treatment plans:
Type and Brand of Filler
Higher-priced filler brands, like Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero and Voluma are more expensive because they are internationally approved, thoroughly tested in clinical trials and tend to last longer. Cheaper brands may not be FDA-approved and are often inferior, shorter-lasting, or compromise on safety.
Quantity Required (ml of Filler)
Cost of fillers is usually calculated per syringe (1 ml). For smaller corrections, a single syringe might be enough, while more volumising, like cheek augmentation or jawline contour, may require 2–3 ml or more.
Area of Treatment
Average amount required & longevity:
- Lips: 1 ml, 6–12 months
- Under-eyes: 1–2 ml, 9–12 months
- Cheeks & jawline: 2–4 ml, 12–24 months (noticeable lift)
- Full facial rejuvenation: multiple syringes
Expertise of the Injector
Expect to pay more if the injector is a board-certified plastic surgeon with years of training and experience versus a general doctor or someone with limited training. The price also reflects their precision, expertise in achieving natural results, and patient safety.
Clinic Infrastructure & Safety Standards
Clinics with well-equipped, sterile procedure rooms, high-end equipment, and rigorous hygiene standards are more expensive but also ensure your safety.
Longevity of the Filler
Fillers that last 18–24 months (Juvederm Voluma) are naturally more costly than those that last 6–9 months. Longer-lasting fillers require less touch-ups later, so the cost may be offset over time.
Average Dermal Filler Cost in India
The average cost of dermal fillers in India is between ₹15,000 to ₹70,000 per syringe (1 ml). The price is affected by the filler brand, treatment area, and the injector’s expertise.
| Treatment Area | Average Cost (Delhi & Metros) | Longevity |
| Lip Fillers (1 ml) | ₹20,000 – ₹30,000 | 6–12 months |
| Tear Trough / Under-Eye | ₹25,000 – ₹40,000 | 9–12 months |
| Cheek Augmentation | ₹35,000 – ₹70,000 | 12–24 months |
| Chin / Jawline Contouring | ₹25,000 – ₹60,000 | 12–18 months |
| Nasolabial Folds | ₹20,000 – ₹35,000 | 9–12 months |
Why Costs Differ Across Clinics
You will find many clinics offering dermal fillers at very low costs (₹10,000–₹15,000). While this sounds attractive, there are reasons to be careful and avoid such clinics. Low cost almost always means:
- Use of non-authentic or unapproved fillers
- Lack of sterile environments
- Injections by underqualified practitioners
- Limited or no follow-up care
On the other hand, Shobhit Aesthetics (SA) and other established, well-run cosmetic surgery centres charge more, but offer premium fillers, safe procedures, follow-up, and support.
Cost vs. Value: Why Paying More May Save You Later
Price of course matters. But the real value is in natural, safe, and long-lasting results. Inexperienced injectors, substandard products, or wrongly placed fillers can cause visible lumps, asymmetry, or even infections. This not only looks unnatural but requires a second procedure to fix, which may cost more than what you initially saved.
Shobhit Aesthetics sources its fillers only from registered, licensed distributors, ensuring they are 100% genuine, safe, and efficacious. Moreover, all filler injections are done by Dr. Shobhit Gupta, a gold medalist, board-certified plastic surgeon with years of experience in surgical and non-surgical facial aesthetics.

Longevity and Maintenance of Fillers
When calculating cost, it is also important to consider how long fillers last
- 6–18 months (Hyaluronic Acid Fillers)
- 12–18 months (Calcium Hydroxylapatite)
- Up to 2 years (Poly-L-lactic Acid. Stimulates collagen.)
Follow-up treatments are usually shorter, require less filler, and are therefore less expensive than the initial session.
Tips for Patients Considering Dermal Fillers
- Ensure your doctor is a qualified, board-certified plastic surgeon.
- Ask about the brand. Insist on only FDA-approved fillers from known companies.
- Check the cost. Is it “per syringe” or “per session”? If you’re getting multiple areas done, this can be double or triple the base price.
- Look beyond cost. Deals that are too cheap are almost always unsafe.
- Factor in the maintenance costs. You will need follow-ups every 12–18 months depending on the filler used.
The cost of dermal fillers in India is typically in the range of ₹15,000 to ₹70,000 per syringe. But the most important consideration is not just the cost, but the reputation, experience, and safety of the clinic and doctor.
