BELLAFILL
Collagen stimulation addresses filler fatigue
Bellafill provides immediate and long-lasting correction by stimulating your own natural collagen long-term.
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. Many of these patients are impacted by the time, pain and cost of both regular and ongoing filler injections.
Facial Aging
Youthful skin is soft, supple, smooth, well hydrated, and rich with cells that renew relatively rapidly. As we age, we experience a loss of facial glands, which results in less oil produced, contributing to less moisture in the skin. We lose collagen and elastin, which can lead to the formation of dynamic wrinkles, like laugh lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. Due to repeated facial movement, dynamic wrinkles eventually become static lines that are gradually etched into the skin over time. Additionally, sagging can occur because skin is no longer able to bounce back as it did in our youth.
Facial Aging – What happens as we age
Many factors impact the way our skin ages, including lifestyle choices and genetics.
Lifestyle choices, like sun exposure, smoking, alcohol use, diet, and stress, can cause brown spots, rough skin, and wrinkles, as well as the premature onset and progression of aging
Genetics affect all layers of the skin and contribute to thinning, dryness, and loss of elasticity of the skin during the aging process.

What happens to our skin when we age
As we age, the cells within the skin diminish in their ability to produce collagen, resulting in skin that is weaker and thinner (less volume). Agents that stimulate the production of collagen replenish the skin and provide for a stronger and younger appearance.
What typically happens at each decade
In the first 20 or so years of life, facial volume is high in the cheeks and narrows down to the chin which creates an aesthetically pleasing heart shape. The skin is supple, taught, and hydrated with even color and texture.
Bellafill - A Collagen Stimulator
Collagen – an essential protein for a youthful appearance
Collagen is the main structural protein in the skin. Collagen makes up one-third of the protein in the human body and it gives the skin its elasticity and strength, contributing to a youthful appearance. You can find it in a number of products from serums and moisturizers to injections, waters, and even beers.
Re-volumizing with collagen
Unlike temporary fillers, BELLAFILL® creates a lasting improvement in skin. Its tiny polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres are suspended within a base of smooth collagen gel. BELLAFILL immediately adds volume below wrinkles or atrophic acne scars to lift them to the level of surrounding skin. The PMMA microspheres provide a “scaffold” that supports the body’s own natural collagen production, replacing the collagen gel as it develops over time.
