What Is Bellafill and Is It Right for You?

Dermal fillers are a wildly popular cosmetic treatment. Dermal fillers work to restore fullness and volume to the face, diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and give patients a more youthful appearance. 

Over the years, numerous dermal fillers have been developed. While the basic goals of these products are similar, each type of filler offers a unique set of benefits. One dermal filler that has grown in popularity in recent years is Bellafill. 

We offer Bellafill at Radiant Reflections Weight Loss Clinic & Medspa in Hattiesburg, MS. We’re proud to include Bellafill in our collection of fillers because of its versatility and ability to deliver noticeable results.

Read on to learn all about Bellafill and decide whether it may be a good fit to help you reach your cosmetic goals.

What Is Bellafill?

Bellafill is an injectable product that functions as a cosmetic dermal filler. Its primary use is to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can also enhance facial contours and restore a fuller look.

Bellafill filler has a collagen base. It also incorporates microspheres made from polymethyl methacrylate (PAMA). When injected, Bellafill promotes collagen production within your body, which over time, plumps and smooths out the skin in the treated area.

In addition to treating wrinkles and fine lines, Bellafill can also treat moderate acne scarring. In fact, the FDA has approved Bellafill specifically for this purpose. To that end, Bellafill is one of the more versatile dermal fillers on the market. 

How Does Bellafill Filler Work?

Bellafill dermal filler works in a straightforward manner. During a treatment session, we will inject a predetermined amount of the dermal filler into the designated areas on your face.

As we administer Bellafill to the target area, we can make adjustments based on your skin’s responsiveness to the treatment. We can add more Bellafill filler or give you a lower dose, based on your unique needs.

Patients primarily use Bellafill in areas such as the chin, lips, nose, cheeks, and around the mouth. It can produce mild to moderate improvements to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Those interested in addressing severe sagging or other skin imperfections may need to consider a more intense treatment option.

Who Is a Candidate for Bellafill?

Generally speaking, Bellafill is a good treatment option for patients who are 21 or older and starting to notice the natural signs of aging. Adults use Bellafill to:

  • Plump up thinning lips
  • Enhance shallow facial contours
  • Improve the appearance of scars
  • Soften wrinkles and creases
  • Reconstruct contour-related deformities
  • Remove the “shadow” under the lower eyelids

While the exact results will vary based on each patient’s health history and current condition, many patients have experienced the above benefits from Bellafill treatment. 

To learn more about how Bellafill can help with your specific aesthetic concerns, the best approach is to schedule a consultation with us. At this meeting, we’ll be able to assess your skin and concerns and help you set realistic expectations for the treatment.

Will I Experience Immediate Results?

It is possible that you’ll experience immediate results after your Bellafill treatment session. Many patients see a noticeable improvement in the treatment area just after their Bellafill injections are complete. 

However, as your skin settles back to its regular state, it may take a few days before you can accurately determine what impact the dermal filler has had on the treatment area.

We often recommend that patients return for a follow-up treatment. During this treatment, we will determine whether you require any additional units of filler. If so, we will administer the necessary units to the treatment area to further enhance the results achieved during your initial procedure. 

Every patient experiences their own results from Bellafill in terms of the level of improvement and how long it lasts. Fortunately, Bellafill is one of the longest-lasting dermal fillers on the market. Some patients continue to experience benefits for as long as five years after completing their treatments. 

What to Expect During Treatment

During your initial consultation, we will review your health history. We will also discuss your specific cosmetic goals and help you determine whether Bellafill is the right treatment for you.

If we decide that you’re a good candidate for Bellafill, we may be able to administer the treatment during your first visit. The length of the procedure will vary based on how many areas you want to treat. However, treatment sessions typically range from 15 minutes to an hour in length.

Like the length of the treatment, the cost of the procedure will vary as well. Bellafill, as well as other dermal fillers, is priced per unit. The more units we administer, the higher the total cost of treatment will be.

We will estimate the number of units that you’ll likely need before we begin your procedure, and we’ll use that estimate to calculate the approximate cost of your treatment session.
