What is Bellafill®?
The average soft-tissue filler is composed of hyaluronic acid. This substance smooths lines and creases by attaching to water molecules beneath the skin. Bellafill is a long-term wrinkle corrector that contains two specific ingredients that target the faltering scaffolding of the dermis. One is bovine collagen (yes, you need a skin test before receiving treatment) and the other is Polymathic-methacrylate (PMMA). Bellafill has been used since gaining FDA approval in 2006. The drug is one of the most extensively tested and proven in terms of safety and efficacy.
Why More People are Choosing Bellafill
Each syringe of Bellafill contains approximately 20% collagen gel and 80% PMMA microspheres. The collagen gives the skin an instant boost of softness and volume, whereas the tiny microspheres reinstate adequate structure beneath the skin. Within 3 to 6 months, the body metabolizes the collagen that has been injected. During this time, though, new collagen production has increased to surround the PMMA particles. This influx provides progressive improvements in the youthful appearance of the skin. In one of the largest injectable studies in the U.S., Bellafill achieved outstanding results that remained intact 5 years after initial treatment.
The safety and structural integrity of Bellafill gel make this product an excellent long-term solution for signs of aging such as nasolabial folds, lip lines and under eye bags. Injections may also be administered to the nose for non-surgical rhinoplasty.
