Dermal fillers
If it seems like new expression lines have emerged every time you look in the mirror, then dermal fillers are for you.
Because they easily reduce the signs of aging, dermal fillers have become to the go-to choice for combating the signs of aging. Whether you’re battling sunken cheeks or upper lip lines, there’s a filler that can be used to treat them.
WITH TIME COMES WRINKLES
As you get older, collagen production slows and your skin elasticity decreases. This leads to sagging skin and wrinkles. You may also develop furrows between your eyebrows and across your forehead. Moisturizers enriched with hyaluronic acid work superficially and aren't powerful enough to prevent the signs of aging.
HYALURONIC ACID FILLERS: WHAT ARE THEY?
Thankfully, it’s now possible to restore lost hyaluronic acid and reduce the signs of aging. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally within your skin. The powerful acid binds is what gives your skin it’s glow. When injected, it softens, hydrates and volumizes your face for a more youthful appearance
IMMEDIATE RESULTS WITH NO DOWNTIME
In addition to restoring a youthful glow, dermal fillers provide immediate results. In fact, treatment can be done in under 30 minutes with no downtime. Appropriately so, dermal fillers care coined as a “lunchtime facelift.” Minimal side effects like swelling or redness at the injection resolve quickly, so the only person who knows you had something done is you!
LONG-LASTING RESULTS
Another benefit of having dermal filler injections is the long-lasting results. In most cases, dermal fillers last up to one year, sometimes longer. It’s easy to maintain your results with quick touchup, so you never have to worry about starting over. Simply reschedule an appointment before your fillers have the chance to metabolize.

Bellafill is an injectable filler that’s FDA approved to treat nasolabial folds. These folds, sometimes called “smile lines,” extend from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Bellafill provides instant smoothness, with long-lasting results: In the longest and largest study ever conducted on dermal fillers, Bellafill was proven to be effective through five years. That means that you can enjoy your results for much longer than you would with hyaluronic acid-based fillers.
Bellafill has 2 main components:
• Smooth collagen gel (80%) forms the base of Bellafill, creating smooth, supple volume beneath the surface of the nasolabial folds.
• Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres (20%) are suspended within the collagen gel. These form a sturdy scaffold where your own natural collagen grows.
Thanks to its 2 innovative components, Bellafill creates instant results that you can enjoy as soon as you leave the office. As the original collagen gel fades away, your body naturally replaces it with your own collagen around the microspheres, for unparalleled long-term smoothness.
CANDIDACY & SAFETY
The best Bellafill candidates are women or men, 21 and older, who are bothered by the look of their nasolabial folds and wish to avoid the regular touch-up treatments associated with other fillers. Bellafill is FDA approved, and both its collagen gel and its PMMA microspheres have established records of safety. PMMA is an acrylic material that’s widely used in medicine. Bellafill is safe for skin of all types and colors. However, an allergy test is required prior to treatment to make sure prospective patients aren’t sensitive to the product.
WHAT IS FILLER FATIGUE?
Patients are demanding a longer lasting filler because of “filler fatigue.” Filler Fatigue refers to the feeling of frustration as a result of having to come back frequently in order to maintain a youthful appearance. A recent Harris Poll Survey revealed that out of the 9 million dermal filler patients in the U.S, this phenomenon is affecting 8 million patients. Many of these patients are impacted by the time, pain and cost of regular and on-going filler injections.
