It has been found to be a safe dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin. It is also used to correct acne scars on the cheeks in those over 21 years of age. How does Bellafill work?
Does Bellafill hurt? The majority of patients tolerate the minor discomfort associated with a Bellafill treatment very well. Certain areas, including the lips, may be more sensitive when injected, though the lidocaine contained within the filler helps to minimize pain.
Nasolabial folds are deep indentations that form at the base of the cheeks and appear diagonally from the mouth and nose. These lines often deepen due to age and become more noticeable over time. Belafill can help reduce the appearance of these lines, leading to a more youthful appearance.
Bellafill is considered a long term, semi-permanent dermal filler. This means that once it is injected, it cannot be dissolved or removed from the treated area. Unlike hyaluronic acid dermal fillers that can be removed or dissolved with hyaluronidase injections, PMMA stays put in the skin once it is injected there.
Also called laughter lines and smile folds, nasolabial folds can be tricky to treat due to the constant movement of the mouth. Because Bellafill cannot be absorbed by the body and is unlikely to migrate, it can withstand years worth of smiles while still fending off those unsightly lines.
Over time, your body uses the microspheres in Bellafill to create a “scaffold” onto which your own natural collagen can develop. This collagen forms a foundation that adds volume to wrinkles, reducing their appearance – and giving you natural-looking results that feel soft and smooth for up to 5 years.
