Bellafill Dermal Fillers
Nasolabial folds, also known as smile lines, are the result of your body’s natural aging process. Over time, the repeated motions involved in smiling, talking, and laughing break down the collagen in your skin, causing saggy, structureless creases and folds to form between your nose and mouth. Luckily, North Florida Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Center offers a long-lasting solution to patients seeking a sleeker, more youthful look. Our Bellafill dermal fillers provide needed volume beneath loose facial skin, smoothing out wrinkles and stimulating collagen growth for long-term results.
What Is Bellafill?
Bellafill is an FDA-approved, multi-purpose collagen filler used to blur smile lines and acne scars for up to five years. Bellafill’s secret to longevity is its polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres and smooth collagen gel base, which promote natural collagen production in your body to continuously improve the appearance of nasolabial folds for years to come. Bellafill is one of the most studied dermal fillers on the market, making it a safe option for men and women looking for an effective acne scar treatment or to add volume to their nasolabial folds.
How Does Bellafill Work?
Bellafill provides instant results by filling out nasolabial folds with a smooth collagen gel. Suspended within this gel are millions of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres, which remain inside your body long after the collagen gel is absorbed.
For up to five years after injection, these PMMA microspheres will act as a scaffolding for your body’s natural collagen production, restoring the youthful elasticity to your skin.
How Long Does Bellafill Last?
Bellafill has been shown to be effective at reducing smile lines in patients for up to five years. When used as an acne treatment, Bellafill conceals signs of acne scarring for up to a year, with some patients reporting more lasting improvement.
Who Is A Good Candidate For Bellafill?
Anyone over the age of 21 who is dissatisfied with the appearance of their smile lines is qualified to receive Bellafill treatments in our Gainesville office. Bellafill is ideal for patients seeking a convenient, long-lasting filler that does not require regular touchups.
Bellafill is safe for all skin types and colors. An allergy test will be administered prior to treatment to avoid complications related to bovine collagen and lidocaine allergies.
Results & Recovery
Bellafill injections add volume under your smile lines for immediate and lasting results. Recovery time is negligible for this treatment; however, some patients may experience temporary swelling, pain, itching, or discoloration at the injection site. Bellafill injections are a type of long-lasting filler that should not require repeat treatments for at least five years.
