BellafillBellafill®, long-lasting facial/dermal filler for corrections for smile lines and corrections for acne scars.

We at M.D. Aesthetics & Wellness Institute in Tampa, FL, are pleased to offer Bellafill®, the next generation of facial filler rejuvenation!  What makes Bellafill® unique? Dr. Reddy is excited about Bellafill® as it offers her facial rejuvenation patients immediate correction and lasting improvement to nasolabial folds for up to five years! You no longer have to schedule your dermal filler corrections every few months.

WHAT IS BELLAFILL® AND HOW IS IT UNIQUE?

Bellafill® is approved for the correction of facial wrinkles known as nasolabial folds, or smile lines, and the correction of moderate to severe facial acne scars on the cheek in patients over the age of 21 years. BellafillBellafill® uses a blend of 2 compounds that produce results that are long-lasting. Suspended within Bellafill®’s smooth, collagen-gel base are tiny polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres. The PMMA re-creates the firm structure of younger-looking skin by supporting production of your body’s own collagen. Once Bellafill® is skillfully injected by Dr. Reddy, the collagen immediately adds volume to smooth away facial wrinkles (smile lines), and the PMMA microspheres help your skin re-create its own firmer structure for beautiful, younger-looking skin with long-lasting results.

WHAT IS THE BELLAFILL® DERMAL FILLER? HOW DOES IT WORK?

Bellafill® is an FDA-approved dermal filler that smooths out specific wrinkles called nasolabial folds or smile lines and corrects moderate to severe facial acne scars on the cheek in patients over 21.  Bellafill® uses a blend of two compounds that produce long-lasting results. Suspended within Bellafill®’s smooth collagen-gel base are tiny polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres. These recreate the firm structure of younger-looking skin by supporting the production of your body’s collagen.  Once Bellafill® is injected by Dr. Reddy, the collagen immediately adds volume to smooth away smile lines, and the PMMA microspheres help your skin recreate its firmer structure for beautiful, younger-looking skin with results that last for years.

WHAT AREAS DOES BELLAFILL® TREAT?

The key areas of treatment for Bellafill® include:
  1. Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines): Bellafill® is commonly used to treat the deep lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, known as nasolabial folds or smile lines. It adds volume and smooths out these folds, providing a more youthful appearance.
  2. Cheeks: It can be used to restore volume to the cheeks, improving the contours of the face. This can help with age-related volume loss and provide a subtle lifting effect.
  3. Acne Scars: Bellafill® smooths and elevates the skin in areas where deep acne scars have left indentations, particularly on the cheeks and lower face.
  4. Chin Wrinkles: Bellafill® can be injected into the chin area to soften lines and wrinkles that develop over time, contributing to a more balanced and defined facial appearance.
  5. Marionette Lines: These lines run from the corners of the mouth to the chin. Bellafill® can fill these lines, reducing their depth and providing a smoother, more youthful look.

WHY CHOOSE BELLAFILL® FOR FACIAL VOLUME AND ACNE SCARS?

Rejuvenate your Face for the Long Term

Over time, most patients experience loss of facial volume, wrinkles, and lines associated with the visible signs of aging. Perhaps you have noticed that your smile lines have deepened, making you look older than you feel. Many patients have tried a variety of dermal fillers but are bothered by the fact that the results require repeated treatments.  Now, there is an alternative!  Bellafill® is the only FDA-approved dermal filler established to be safe and effective for correcting nasolabial folds that lasts years versus months! Bellafill® was previously under the trade name Arte®Fill. In clinical studies, patient satisfaction has been established over 5 years for patients treated with Bellafill® smile lines.

Fill In And Smooth Out Acne Scars

Bellafill In 2014, Bellafill® was approved by the FDA to correct moderate to severe acne scars in patients over 21 years of age. Dr. Reddy advises her patients that there are three types of pitted acne scars – Icepick, Rolling, and Boxcar. Bellafill® is indicated to treat rolling scars.  Dr. Reddy will advise you if your type of acne scar can be effectively treated with Bellafill®. One injection immediately adds volume below pitted acne scars to lift to the level of the surrounding skin for a smoother appearance.  Bellafill® lifts acne scars for smoother-looking skin. In clinical studies, patient satisfaction has been established for 12 months when used to correct acne scars.

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR BELLAFILL®?

You’re a candidate for Bellafill® if you’re 21 or older and are looking for a long-lasting solution to facial wrinkles, folds, or acne scars. If you have moderate to severe smile lines or pitted acne scars and are looking for a treatment that lasts more than a few months, Bellafill® could be the right choice for you. Additionally, to get the best results, you should have generally healthy skin. This means your skin should be free from chronic conditions like eczema or several allergies and have no infections at the time of treatment. It’s also important to note that you should have allergies to bovine collagen or lidocaine, as Bellafill® contains both. Please have realistic expectations about the results—while Bellafill® offers long-term solutions compared to temporary facial fillers, the results are not permanent, and a consultation with Dr. Reddy is necessary to determine if this treatment fits well with your goals.

THE BELLAFILL® PROCEDURE

The procedure starts with a personalized consultation with Dr. Anitha Reddy, who will discuss your facial rejuvenation goals and examine your skin, wrinkles, and folds.  On the day of the procedure, the area being treated will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort. Bellafill® is injected directly into the targeted areas using a fine needle. The treatment typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated and the extent of the corrections desired. After the injection, you will notice an immediate improvement in the treated areas. Bellafill’s smooth collagen gel provides instant volume and support to the skin. At the same time, the PMMA microspheres remain in place, stimulating your body’s collagen production over time for longer-lasting results. Recovery is minimal, and most people can return to normal activities immediately after the procedure. Some common side effects include temporary swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolve within a few days.
