Bellafill®
HELPING YOU LIVE LIFE MORE BEAUTIFULLYHeadingBellafill® is a cosmetic treatment designed to address facial wrinkles and acne scars. This dermal filler is FDA-approved and has proven to be effective for up to five years. Bellafill in Chicago is recommended for patients of all genders who are age 21 or older.
What Is Bellafill?
Bellafill is a long-lasting minimally invasive treatment for acne scars and unwanted facial wrinkles. This product contains polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) beads suspended in a collagen gel. This semi-permanent dermal filler is injected under the skin to provide more volume, smoothing away deep skin creases and moderate lines.
Good Candidates for Bellafill
Bellafill is a great option for those who are seeking a long-lasting solution to their acne scars and unwanted smile lines.
This procedure is not recommended for those who are breastfeeding or pregnant or those who bruise easily. Anyone who has an allergic reaction to anesthetics or bovine collagen products is not recommended to undergo this treatment.
Bellafill Cost
The cost of Bellafill treatment is determined based on a number of factors. These can include the number of injections needed, the amount of product used, and the number of treatment sites. When you schedule a consultation, we will be able to formulate a customized treatment plan and provide you with an estimated price.
Bellafill Results
One of the most amazing benefits of undergoing a procedure like Bellafill is that it offers instant results. This cosmetic dermal filler will immediately plump up and fill in the targeted areas of your skin.
However, it’s important to remember that these treatment areas may experience minor swelling for up to a week. Patients can expect to see the final results of their treatment after that first week.
With most dermal fillers, patients have to go back every six months to a year to get more treatments to maintain their results. Not with Bellafill. This product provides semi-permanent results that are proven to last for five years or more. This is why Bellafill is one of the most desirable treatments for wrinkles and acne scars.
What to Expect
During Treatment
A Bellafill treatment from board-certified dermatologist Dr. Quenby Erickson will start with the injection sites being thoroughly washed with an antibacterial agent. Next, an anesthetic cream or injection will be used to numb the treatment area.
Once the skin is numbed, multiple injections are administered to the designated treatment sites. Each injection site will be massaged, and additional filler may be added as necessary.
After Treatment
No recovery time is needed after a Bellafill session. As with any sort of injectable treatment, there’s likely to be some temporary redness and swelling at the treatment sites. In some cases, patients may experience some mild bruising that may last a few days.
Patients should avoid heat exposure, direct sun exposure, and vigorous exercise immediately following their treatment procedure.
