Bellafill is a dermal filler that is designed to correct facial wrinkles and folds, such as smile lines, by adding volume to the skin. Unlike other fillers that are made of hyaluronic acid and are temporary, Bellafill contains tiny polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres suspended in a collagen gel that provides immediate volume and stimulates the body’s natural collagen production for long-lasting results. Bellafill is FDA approved for the treatment of nasolabial folds or smile lines and can also be used to improve the appearance of acne scars. Bellafill is considered a safe and effective treatment option for individuals who are looking for long-term improvement in their facial wrinkles and folds. However, as with any medical procedure, it is important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if Bellafill is right for you.
What to Expect
When undergoing a Bellafill treatment, patients can expect to see an immediate improvement in the appearance of wrinkles and folds in the treated area. The PMMA microspheres in Bellafill provide instant volume to the skin, while the collagen gel stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, resulting in long-lasting improvements in the treated area. After the procedure, patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising in the treated area, but these side effects are typically mild and subside within a few days. Bellafill is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed in a healthcare provider’s office, with little to no downtime required for recovery. The results of Bellafill can last up to five years, making it an attractive option for individuals who are looking for a long-term solution to their wrinkles and folds.
