Dermal filler use has increased substantially in recent years, rivaling surgical facial rejuvenation. While there are several advantages to using dermal fillers, some patients desire a little more than they can get with a traditional injectable. We are happy to serve our patients’ needs for extended effects with Bellafill.
Bellafill is the only FDA-approved dermal filler designed to stimulate collagen growth long-term. Bellafill's benefits are two-fold: offering immediate as well as sustainable results rendered by continual collagen growth, thus resurrecting the skin's younger days. Results can last up to 5 years.
Bellafill Treatment Areas
Bellafill is approved for the correction of moderate to severe nasolabial folds and smile lines. However, experienced physicians also commonly use this product for longer-lasting correction of mid-facial volume loss and improvement in the contouring of the chin. Dr. Keamy can safely inject Bellafill into the:
- Cheeks
- Nasolabial Folds
- Acne Scars
- Temples
- Jawline
- Chin
- Earlobes
The Bellafill Injection Process
Bellafill treatment can start after Dr. Keamy confirms appropriateness via the skin-test that accompanies this product.
Although an allergic reaction to bovine collagen is very rare, Bellafill treatment does involve a skin test to identify sensitivity to this ingredient or the lidocaine in the formula.
Before injections, Dr. Keamy will often apply numbing cream to the skin and left for a few minutes. Thorough skin cleansing is also conducted prior to injections of Bellafill using a thin needle. Then, Dr. Keamy will introduce small amounts of product into scars or other concerns in increments, allowing us to observe the effects as we go. Depending on the extensiveness of treatment, your appointment may be complete within half an hour.
Bellafill Treatment Sessions
In most cases, only one Bellafill treatment is necessary to achieve the desired outcome. Patients can schedule a follow-up appointment for one month after the initial treatment to observe the progress of the results. If applicable, patients can discuss the need for additional Bellafill for deep lines and creases or extensive facial atrophy.

Ideal Candidates for Bellafill
Men and women over the age of 21 with an interest in long-term results from a reputable dermal filler are good candidates for Bellafill. This product will likely better suit patients that are familiar with the effects of conventional short-term filler products. Contraindications include:

About UsResults of Bellafill
Bellafill has commonly been referred to as a permanent dermal filler. This is not accurate. A more precise description of this treatment is that it is long-lasting. While results do not last forever, Dr. Keamy is careful in the application of Bellafill to maximize facial symmetry and youthfulness. Clinical trials have demonstrated significant improvement in signs of aging up to 5 years after treatment. While formal studies have ended at the 5-year mark, many Bellafill patients have reported satisfying results after eight years.
Bellafill Alternatives
Bellafill is the only long-term dermal filler approved for use at this time. Alternatives include standard filler products like Restylane®, which are useful for short-term improvements. Some patients consider fat grafting for long-lasting facial rejuvenation. However, the predictability of results is better with Bellafill than with fat cells. Also, fat grafting involves a minor surgical procedure, liposuction, to harvest fat cells from one or more areas of the body for use in injectable facial rejuvenation.
