Bellafill is best for patients seeking a nonsurgical method to reduce their visible signs of aging. The treatment is only permitted for individuals at least 21 years of age who wish to eliminate or reduce nasolabial folds, deep lines, and/or acne scars. If you have an allergy to lidocaine or bovine collagen, Bellafill is likely not a good option for you. Additionally, the treatment should not be performed on anyone who is currently pregnant. We ask that any parents who are currently expecting a child wait until the end of their pregnancy before considering Bellafill.

Bellafill is administered as a simple injection into the targeted areas. The collagen increases volume in the face while also lifting the skin surrounding your laugh lines. While this is happening, the PMMA microspheres within the filler are also encouraging the body’s own natural production of collagen, which is what keeps the skin looking smooth and youthful. This combination of processes leads to gorgeous results that usually last for at least a year. In total, the injections take about 30 minutes to complete, at which point the patient is welcome to return to their usual schedule.

Immediately following the treatment, some results will likely already be visible. However, it will take a few days before you start to see the final results of the injection. As the days pass, the skin will continue to smooth out and lines in the skin should fade. Some swelling and irritation are not uncommon but should only last for around 24 hours. While there is little to no recovery time associated with Bellafill, it is still important to avoid exercise for a full day in order to ensure the best results.
