If you’re tired of chasing short-term results from dermal fillers, Bellafill may be the solution you’ve been searching for. Designed to last up to five years, this long-lasting injectable stands out from traditional fillers for its ability to stimulate collagen production and deliver both immediate volume and long-term improvement. At Center for Beauty in Louisville, Dr. Sean Maguire and our team of aesthetici Nurse Practitioner injectors offer Bellafill to those who want sustained results without frequent touch-ups. But is this five-year filler the right option for everyone?
What Makes Bellafill Different
Bellafill is a unique hybrid filler made from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres suspended in a smooth collagen gel. Upon injection, the collagen provides immediate volume to restore that which is lost with age or with weight loss, or simply the effects of gravity which result in a redistribution of volume of the face. It also can help smooth wrinkles or acne scars. The PMMA component of this unique filler forms a supportive structure, and stimulates your body to produce its own collagen over time. The result is natural-looking rejuvenation lasts for several years, not just months.
The Ideal Bellafill Candidate
Because Bellafill is considered semi-permanent, it’s best suited for individuals who are confident in their aesthetic goals and want longer-lasting results. Ideal candidates typically:
- Are over the age of 21
- Have moderate to deep smile lines (nasolabial folds)
- Would benefit from additional voulume in the midface (cheeks) or upper face (temples).
- Want treatment for acne scarring on the cheeks
- Have healthy skin and realistic expectations
- Are not allergic to bovine collagen or lidocaine
At Center for Beauty, every patient undergoes an in-depth consultation with Dr. Maguire to ensure Bellafill is a safe and effective match. A skin test is required before the first treatment to check for possible allergic reactions.
When Bellafill May Not Be Right
While Bellafill offers unmatched longevity, it’s not the right choice for everyone. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or prone to keloid or hypertrophic scarring, other treatment options may be recommended. Additionally, Bellafill cannot be used on the lips or other areas with thinner skin due to the firmness of the product.
