Patient Frequently Asked Questions
What is Bellafill?
Bellafill is the long lasting solution for wrinkle correction. Bellafill consists of a combination of microsphere enhanced collagen and lidocaine for comfort.
How does Bellafill work?
The collagen gel acts as a carrier for the microspheres in Bellafill. Gradually, your body absorbs the collagen while the microspheres remain to provide a long lasting support structure below the wrinkle to sustain wrinkle correction.
Is Bellafill safe?
Yes. Bellafill has proven to be a safe and effective dermal filler for the correction of wrinkles and was approved by the U.S. FDA in October 2006. In clinical testing, Bellafill was as safe as the control temporary filler. Since the launch, thousands of patients have been safely treated with Bellafill and there have been no product recalls and no reported medical device events.
How does Bellafill differ from temporary fillers?
Temporary dermal fillers are made of different kinds of natural or synthetic materials that are completely absorbed by the body over time and as a result, wrinkle correction usually lasts for only 3-9 months. The microsphere enhanced collagen in Bellafill remains intact at the treatment site and provides structural support to keep your wrinkle from returning.
When will I see results with Bellafill and how long will they last?
You will see results immediately. In the U.S. clinical study, full wrinkle correction was maintained for up to one year. Several other studies show results lasting 5 years and longer.
Is one treatment enough to get the look I want?
Most people get the results they want with one or two treatments, depending on the depth of their wrinkles and folds. When you have your follow-up appointment in four to six weeks, you and your doctor can decide if you would like to further enhance your results.
