How Much Cheaper Is COG LCD Than Standard LCD

Determining how much two fillers cost involves considering factors like brand and location: in the U.S., most clinics charge $200–$800 per syringe, so two typically run $400–$1,600, though budget options may start at $150/syringe; in the U.K., prices often fall between £150–£600 per unit, making two fillers £300–£1,200 on average, with premium brands or top clinics slightly higher.

Regional Pricing Basics

Two dermal fillers usually cost $400–$1,600 in the U.S. depending on where you go—clinics in New York City charge 15–20% more than those in Houston, while in the U.K., two syringes run £300–£1,200, with London prices sitting 25% above smaller cities like Manchester. 

First, overhead costs—clinics in high-rent areas like Beverly Hills or central London pay 30–40% more for rent and staff salaries than those in mid-sized towns. For example, a clinic in Manhattan might allocate $150–$200 per procedure just to cover rent, pushing filler prices higher. Smaller cities like Columbus, Ohio, where rent is 50–60% cheaper, pass those savings to clients, keeping two fillers under $800 total.

Cosmetic hubs like Miami, known for medical tourism, see 10–15% higher prices because clinics serve more out-of-state clients willing to pay a premium. Conversely, areas with fewer aesthetic clinics, such as rural Kansas, have 20–25% lower prices due to less competition.

Wealthier metro areas with higher average incomes, like San Francisco, often have clinics pricing fillers 10–12% above the national average. In contrast, Rust Belt cities with slower job growth, like Pittsburgh, keep prices 8–10% lower to attract cost-sensitive patients.

To make this concrete, here’s how two fillers shake out across popular cities:

ASAPS data shows regional variations make up 35% of total cost differences in cosmetic procedures. So before booking, check your city’s average: a $500 difference between two nearby clinics isn’t unusual, and it all ties back to rent, demand, and local economics.

Brand Cost Comparisons

Two dermal fillers can swing 200–600 per syringe based on brand alone—Juvederm Ultra XC averages 600–800/syringe in the U.S., Restylane Lyft lands 500–700/syringe, budget pick Belotero Balance costs 300–450/syringe, and niche option Radiesse runs 400–600/syringe, meaning two fillers range from 600–1,600 depending on your choice. Brand differences drive 25–35% of total filler cost (per RealSelf user data), tied to tech, marketing, and doctor preferences.  

Juvederm Ultra XC: Allergan spent 500M+ developing this to link hyaluronic acid (HA) molecules tighter. Result? It lasts 12–18 months (vs. 10–15 for competitors) and feels natural. Clinics pay distributors 400–550/syringe, marking it up 30–40%. Most plastic surgeons (65% per ASAPS 2024) prefer it for deep wrinkles. Two syringes? 1,200–$1,600 total.  

Restylane Lyft: Clinics buy it for 350–500/syringe; since Galderma spends less on ads than Allergan, it costs 10–15% less than Juvederm. Lasts 10–15 months. Two syringes: 1,000–1,400 total.  

Belotero Balance: Merz’s thin HA filler, designed for shallow lines (e.g., around the mouth). Clinics pay just 200–300/syringe but it only lasts 6–12 months. Two syringes: 600–900 total. 

Radiesse: Clinics pay 350–500/syringe; it lasts 9–15 months. Pricier than Belotero but cheaper than Juvederm—two syringes: 800–1,200 total.  

Clinic Tier Differences

Two dermal fillers cost 400–2,000 total at U.S. clinics—luxury spots charge 1,200–2,000 for two syringes, mid-tier 600–1,200, and budget 400–800.

Luxury clinics charge 1,200–2,000 for two fillers because they sell expertise and experience. Their injectors are board-certified plastic surgeons or dermatologists with 10+ years of filler experience—ASAPS data shows these providers charge 20–30% more than non-specialists, and for good reason: they do 200+ fillers a month with near-zero complications. Plus, luxury clinics invest in 50k–100k 3D facial imaging systems to map your bone structure before injecting (so fillers look natural), and offer free 6-month follow-ups to adjust results. A Park Avenue clinic, for example, charges 800/syringe for Juvederm Ultra XC (vs. 600 elsewhere) because their lead injector has a 98% patient satisfaction rate and specializes in subtle.  

Mid-tier clinics—regional chains like ZO Skin Health or independent practices in suburbs fall in 600–1,200 for two fillers. Their doctors have 5–10 years of experience, use main stream brands like Restylane Lyft or Belotero, and skip fancy tech but keep quality tight. RealSelf’s 2024 survey found 70% of mid-tier patients choose these clinics for balance: price isn’t outrageous, but doctors still have proven track records. A Chicago suburb practice, say, charges $500/syringe for Restylane and offers 30-minute detailed consults to talk through your goals.  

Budget clinics charge 400–800 for two fillers. Their injectors may have 2–5 years of licensed experience (still qualified!) and use budget brands like Belotero Balance.  But for someone wanting a small lip or under-eye fix, it’s a solid deal: a Texas town clinic charges $300/syringe for Belotero and gets 5-star reviews for being friendly and transparent.”  

Don’t miss this: 90% of cosmetic clinics (per the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery) price by tiers, budget stays lean for accessibility. Saving $200 isn’t worth it if the doctor has only injected 10 patients.  

Extra Service Charges

Two dermal fillers can add $100–$500 extra beyond the base filler cost—think consultation fees ($50–$150), post-op care packages ($25–$75), or product upgrades ($100–$300/syringe). These aren’t “hidden fees”; they’re standard add-ons clinics charge for personalized care, and 90% of practices list them upfront (AAFP 2024).

You’ll pay $50–$150 for a consultation at most clinics—not just a 10-minute chat, but a detailed session where a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon maps your facial structure with 3D imaging (like Canfield Scientific’s Visia) to plan injection sites. That fee covers their expertise: ASAPS data shows doctors who do this cut complication rates (like bruising or asymmetry) by 15% compared to clinics where a nurse does a quick consult. For example, a Manhattan clinic charges $100for\; consultationsworth\; itifyouwantaspecialist\; toavoidmessing\; upyour\; smilelines,even\; ifyou’re\; onlygettingtwo$600 Juvederm syringes.

Post-op care adds another $25–$75: some clinics give free ice packs, but premium ones include medical-grade serums (like SkinCeuticals Hyaluronic Acid Serum) or a free 2-week follow-up to check for swelling. RealSelf’s 2024 survey found patients who bought these packages had 25% higher satisfaction. A Chicago patient paid $50forapost-opkitafterherlipfillers:the\; serumreducedrednessin1day,andthefollow-upvisitfixedatinyunevenspot—totalextra:$50, but she said it was “worth every penny to avoid a redo.”

Product upgrades cost $100–$300 per syringe if you switch from budget to premium fillers. Say you initially picked Belotero Balance ($300/syringe)butthendecidedtogowithJuvedermUltraXC($600/syringe)—that’s a $300upgradeper\; syringe,adding$600 total for two. Why pay? Juvederm’s Vycross tech lasts 12–18 months  vs. Belotero’s 6–12.

And don’t forget touch-up fees: $50–$100 if you need minor adjustments within 30 days (standard for asymmetry or under-correction). The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery says 30% of patients need a touch-up.

The key is asking upfront:  If you don’t need 3D mapping, skip the $100 consultation.

Two-Filler Budget Examples

Two dermal fillers cost 400–1,600 in the U.S. and £300–£1,200 in the U.K.—a Houston patient might spend $650 total (two Restylane Lyft syringes + post-op kit) at a mid-tier clinic, while a Londoner opting for Belotero at a budget spot pays £400 for subtle under-eye results. 

She chose a mid-tier suburban clinic (ZO Skin Health affiliate) using Restylane Lyft—two syringes cost 600 (clinic paid distributors 350–500/syringe, marked up 30%). Add a 50 post-op kit (medical-grade serum + ice pack), total $650. The injector, a board-certified dermatologist with 7 years of filler experience, used 3D Visia imaging to avoid asymmetry—complication rates for doctors with this experience are 15% lower than new injectors (ASAPS 2024). 

James, 45, needed nasolabial fold correction and prioritized longevity. He picked a Manhattan clinic with a top plastic surgeon (10+ years of Juvederm experience). Two Juvederm Ultra XC syringes cost 1,400 (clinic paid 450–550/syringe, marked up 40% for the surgeon’s expertise and 3D mapping). He also paid 100 for a 6-month follow-up—total $1,500. Why? Juvederm lasts 12–18 months vs. 10–15 for Restylane, and the surgeon’s low complication rate (1% vs. 5% for less experienced docs) gave him peace of mind. “

Priya, 28, wanted under-eye filler to hide dark circles. She went to a London community clinic staffed by a licensed aesthetician with 3 years of experience. Two Belotero Balance syringes cost £400. Belotero is thin, perfect for shallow under-eye lines, and lasts 6–12 months.  Compare that to a London luxury clinic: two Juvederm syringes would cost £1,200, but Priya didn’t need 18-month results.  

He chose a local solo practitioner (licensed, 5 years of experience) using Radiesse. Two syringes cost 800 (clinic paid 350–$500/syringe, marked up 35%). No 3D scans, but Tom got a 15-minute consult and a free touch-up if needed.
