Your Secret to Effortless Radiance.
At our Perfect Skin Center locations in Scottsdale and Tempe, AZ, we offer a unique, collagen-based dermal filler called Bellafill, which uses an active ingredient to naturally stimulate collagen and elastin production. This dermal filler delivers natural and long-lasting results and works to help you safely and effectively smooth wrinkles and combat the aging process by restoring your body’s natural collagen.
What Is Bellafill?
Bellafill is a collagen-based dermal filler that uses an active ingredient called polymethyl methacrylate microspheres, also known as PMMA, to increase collagen production after the injection process to smooth lines and wrinkles and correct acne scars. Once the filler is injected into the skin, it provides immediate results, increases skin volume to smooth lines and wrinkles, and fills acne scars.
The collagen gel formula will eventually be absorbed by the body, but the PMMA microsphere will remain in the injection area to create a foundation on which your body can build more collagen to promote youthful skin over time.
What Are the Benefits?
Patients who undergo a Bellafill treatment will experience immediate results and gradual improvements in the appearance and structure of their skin over time. Treatments are quick, virtually painless, and customizable. Other treatment benefits include the following:
- Visible reduction in lines and wrinkles around the mouth
- Improved skin texture
- Reduced appearance of acne scars
- Results that last up to five years
- Smoother skin
What Can Bellafill Treat?
We design Bellafill treatment plans to lift the skin, smooth lines and wrinkles around the mouth, and improve the appearance of acne scars. Bellafill is able to safely treat nasolabial folds and smile lines by smoothing the skin and adding natural-looking volume to the area.
While acne scars and smile lines are the most common imperfections that this filler is FDA-cleared to treat, we also perform some off-label treatments and use them to add volume to the cheeks and other areas of the face.
What Makes Bellafill Different From Other Dermal Fillers?
Aside from the fact that Bellafill helps patients achieve smoother and younger-looking skin for up to five years after treatment, some aspects distinguish it from other common dermal fillers. Unlike hyaluronic acid-based fillers, which add volume with a gel formula that contains synthetic HA particles, Bellafill is a collagen-stimulation-based filler.
Its active ingredients are held in a collagen gel formula that forces the body to increase collagen production at the treatment site. Unlike other collagen-stimulating fillers, patients won’t have to wait for results but can see immediate improvements in the appearance of their skin and gradual results over time. Because of how it works, it’s also the longest-lasting FDA-cleared dermal filler available in the cosmetic world.
How Long Will My Results Last?
After you undergo a treatment to address smile lines and nasolabial folds, you can expect your results to last up to five years. After a treatment to correct acne scars, your results will last up to 12 months.
Is There Any Downtime?
After your treatment, you can resume your normal daily activities without significant limitations. We will provide you with some aftercare directives to ensure you achieve the best results.
Will I Look Natural?
One of the many benefits of this collagen-based dermal filler is that it delivers the most natural-looking results because it’s collagen-based, and it also helps the body increase its own collagen production. The results look completely natural and are long-lasting. You can trust us to help you achieve your desired results without altering your overall appearance or making you look like a different person.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Most patients can achieve their ideal results after just one session. Even though this dermal filler can last up to five years, the results will eventually wear off. When they do, you can schedule a follow-up treatment, and we’ll administer more product into your desired treatment area to stimulate natural collagen production, fill in lines and wrinkles, and smooth acne scars.
Can It Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Bellafill injections pair well with other cosmetic injectables like dermal fillers and neuromodulators. Because this filler is designed to smooth acne scars and smile lines like nasolabial folds, patients can schedule other cosmetic injectables to address additional concerns that it doesn’t treat.
Patients with unwanted expression lines can add BOTOX injections to their treatment plan to smooth dynamic wrinkles. We are also able to use hyaluronic acid-based fillers to address other facial areas that Bellafill will not, including hollow areas on the middle half of the face, the jawline, the chin, the lips, and more. We make cosmetic injectable recommendations at your initial consultation so that you know which injectables will pair well with Bellafill and help you achieve the most comprehensive results.
Who Is It Right For?
Bellafill is able to meet the needs of men and women with different skin types and tones who want to smooth smile lines or correct acne scars. Patients should be in good health and not have any allergies to lidocaine or bovine collagen. Some patients may be excluded from treatment due to safety reasons, including those with a bleeding disorder, those prone to developing thick or excessive scar tissue, and pregnant and nursing women.
If you’re unsure whether this dermal filler is right for you, we will evaluate your desired treatment areas at your consultation and then confirm your eligibility so you can proceed with the treatment and feel confident about the process.
Naturally Reverse the Aging Process
If aging has caused the formation of facial folds around your nose and mouth that are making you look and feel older than you are, this dermal filler can help naturally restore a youthful appearance while stimulating your body’s own collagen production abilities to reverse aging from the inside out.
