Collagen stimulation addresses filler fatigue. Bellafill provides immediate and long-lasting correction by stimulating your own natural collagen long-term.
Unlike HA fillers, Bellafill's composition boosts collagen production. It jumpstarts the process and then your body maintains after treatment. Patients enjoy instant results after Bellafill treatment due to the collagen in the formulation. Over time the microspheres of PMMA create structure within the skin.
What Are Collagen Stimulating Fillers? Radiesse and Ellansé are two cell regenerating fillers that stimulate the cells to produce more type 1 collagen, which provides the infrastructure for hyaluronic acid and elastin.
Due to the microsphere support structure, your skin will continue to improve for 12 months, and patients have a 90% satisfaction rate at this point. It's likely that even after 5 years your skin will continue to look healthy and smooth. Many people experience results that can last as long as 8-10 years after injection.
One of the main disadvantages of Bellafill is its higher cost compared to Sculptra and traditional fillers. Additionally, Bellafill injections can have a higher risk of side effects such as lumps, nodules, and granulomas.
Answer: After performing thousands of syringes of Bellafill over the last 7 years, half of my patients returning 9-12 months later notice that their Bellafill looks even better than after the initial treatment.
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.
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?
Bellafill® contains non-resorbable PMMA microspheres. Implantation is permanent and will not be reversed without excision. The safety of Bellafill® for use during pregnancy, in breastfeeding females, or in patients under 18 years has not been established.
Bellafill is better from a long term economic standpoint because you won't need to add more every few months! Now you can look your best without wasting time and money on repeated filler injections. Unlike Sculptra, when Bellafill is injected, the collagen that it is made from will cause instant improvement.
Sculptra is a dermal filler that triggers the body to produce new collagen where it is injected, filling lines and wrinkles around the mouth area for up to two years.
Eat a balanced diet that includes an adequate amount of protein. “High-protein foods contain amino acids that are critical for collagen synthesis,” says Garshick. Lean protein sources include fish, seafood, skinless chicken breast, and lean cuts of beef and pork.
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.
MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy, so it should hold the number one spot! In my opinion, microneedling is one of the most underrated treatments around. This is the perfect treatment to boost collagen production while improving skin texture.
Bellafill injectable fillers are great cosmetic treatments because they offer a wide variety of benefits, such as: Reduced fine lines and wrinkles. Diminished acne scarring. Softened nasolabial folds (smile lines)
Bellafill stimulates collagen at the site of scars, filling them in. Typically 2 treatments are done 8 weeks apart. One syringe can do 9 scars on average.
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.
Because Bellafill is known to typically last 5 years, this filler works well in conjunction with the neck-jowl lift which can also give long-lasting results. Many patients are willing to pay more for less invasive surgery and longer lasting fillers.
Bellafill cannot be removed once injected but will be metabolized by the body after a few years.
The majority of patients over the age of 50 require more than one syringe per cheek due to the increased volume loss with age. It is not uncommon to use 2 to 2.5 syringes per cheek and 1 to 1.5 syringes in each nasolabial fold in order to achieve adequate correction that also looks natural.
Yes, this filler works beautifully to erase the appearance of sagging, wrinkles, puffiness, bags, and dark circles under the eyes. It is much more predictable than under-eye fat grafting and lasts far longer than dermal fillers made with hyaluronic acid (HA).
Bellafill for the cheek apple will usually take 1 to 2 syringes per side. It is important for the provider to understand that Bellafill can be placed quite superficially.
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.
