What is Bellafill?
Bellafill, previously known as Artefill, is a unique dermal filler made from a combination of purified bovine collagen, PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) microspheres, and lidocaine to ensure comfort during the procedure. Bellafill is the only FDA-approved filler proven to stimulate long-lasting collagen production, offering results that last up to five years. Unlike traditional fillers that dissolve over time, Bellafill’s PMMA microspheres create a lasting scaffold for your skin to produce its own collagen, keeping your skin smooth, vibrant, and youthful.
How Does Bellafill Work?
Bellafill works in two phases:
Immediate Volume & Smoothing
The collagen gel in Bellafill provides an instant lift, filling in wrinkles and smoothing lines like nasolabial folds and smile lines.
Long-Term Collagen Production
The PMMA microspheres in Bellafill act as a support structure, encouraging your skin to naturally produce collagen over time. This process gives long-lasting results as your body’s collagen helps maintain youthful skin texture and volume.
Preparing for Bellafill
Your journey to youthful, smooth skin begins with a consultation at Hilinski Medspa. During this session, Dr. Hilinski will assess your skin, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if Bellafill is right for you. It’s important to disclose any allergies, especially to bovine collagen, during this consultation. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, and with the addition of lidocaine, most patients experience little discomfort.
The Bellafill Treatment
Bellafill injections are performed in the office with a fine needle for precise application. The treatment typically takes about 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. Results are immediate, and you’ll leave the office with smoother, more youthful skin.
Bellafill Recovery & Results
You may experience slight swelling or bruising after the treatment, but this should subside within a few days. Most patients resume their normal activities immediately following the procedure. As your body produces new collagen, you’ll notice continued improvement in skin texture and volume over the coming months. Bellafill’s results last significantly longer than other dermal fillers, with improvements lasting up to five years.
