We offer Vancouver Bellafill® injections, out of our medical spa in Surrey. All injections at our clinic are performed by a doctor who has been trained in this specific procedure.
Bellafill® is a dermal filler known for its long-lasting performance in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and pitted acne scars. It is approved by Health Canada as a cosmetic volumizer. Unlike short-term fillers, patients who undergo Bellafill® injections experience satisfying results for at least 5 years, and sometimes longer. This means the treatment requires less frequent visits for touch ups. The product also gives immediate results, and continues working after being injected in the skin.
Bellafill® is one of multiple dermal fillers and anti-aging solutions we offer at our medical spa in Surrey. These can often work together for better effects. Our customizable Bellafill® injections are available to residents from Vancouver, Burnaby, White Rock, Langley, Delta (incl. Tsawwassen and Ladner), Richmond, Whistler, New Westminster, Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, Aldergrove, Abbotsford, Chilliwack and even as far as Washington, USA.
To find out if Bellafill® is the right fit for your case, we recommend booking a consultation with us. This is because wrinkles and acne scars can be treated in more than one way. By sitting down with you in person, we’ll be able to assess your condition, and make recommendations for a suitable treatment plan.
What is there to love about this long-lasting dermal filler?
Bellafill® is a skin volumizer that isn’t metabolized (absorbed) by the body. So, once injected, it stays in place for a long time. The initial collagen ‘boost’ of this product does wear down, but it leaves behind remnants that help your body produce its own collagen over time.
Compared to other dermal fillers used to smooth the skin, the payoff of Bellafill® is quite high. It requires less frequent ‘refill’ sessions to achieve a youthful, radiant look on the face. You can enjoy the results of your treatment for years before needing major touch ups (some people choose to continue interim treatments with Botox® and fillers like Juvéderm®, since we all continue aging in the timeframe that Bellafill® lasts under the skin).
The process of injecting Bellafill® into the face is also quick, and relatively painless. It comes with its own anaesthetic to help reduce discomfort.
Our Surrey Bellafill® injections are a great solution for anti-aging treatments that don’t require surgery, such as invasive facelifts.
What can the Bellafill® skin volumizer be used for?
Bellafill® can be used subdermally on both men and women, and on multiple skin tones and types, for the following:
- Laugh lines around the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds)
- Under-eye circles
- Cheek and jawline contouring
- Chin creases (dimples)
- Hollowed scars from any deep cut or injury
- Pitted acne scars (including ice pick scars, tethered scars, rolling scars, boxcar scars and atrophic scars), especially those that can’t be treated with laser resurfacing
- Nose shaping
However, please note there are also other medical cosmetic solutions to wrinkles and acne scars. These can include other fillers or technologies, such as lasers. The best way to find out what options can treat your condition is to come in for a consultation at our clinic. We’ll be able to let you know our recommendation of a treatment path for your case.
Please note that Bellafill® can’t be used on the lips. If you’d like a solution for fuller lips, please see this page of our website!
You must be at least 21 years old to receive a Surrey Bellafill® treatment.
How does Bellafill® work for smoothing wrinkles, and acne scars?
Bellafill® contains what are called, “polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres.” They go inside of a collagen solution, and are injected via a syringe (needle) into the skin. As the collagen solution dissipates, the tiny PMMA microspheres stay in the dermal layer of the skin where they’ve been placed. Over time, your body builds on the PMMA by producing its own collagen. Thus, your skin gets a long-term ‘platform’ to lift its creases and wrinkles. This all happens at a cellular-sized level (the PMMA microspheres are between 30 to 50 microns).
As we age, we naturally lose fat volume in our face. This is what starts the wrinkling process. Bellafill® injections add to your skin’s volume, and then helps it build volume on top of that, using the “biostimulant” of PMMA.
Bellafill® has been exhaustively studied for safety as a cosmetic skin volumizer. The main ingredient, PMMA, is commonly used as synthetic body implantation. It has been in existence for over 65 years. Originally it was used as bone cement. Bellafill® is also approved by Health Canada, and the FDA in the United States.
The most important thing about getting results from Bellafill® (or any dermal filler), is the application. Injections should only be performed by a qualified and experienced physician. Since Bellafill® is so long-lasting, using the wrong amounts of it can cause an unnatural look, which can be hard to reverse. At our skincare clinic, doctors carefully dose our dermal fillers evenly around the treatment area. They know the right spots to inject, as well as when to stop, so they are not ‘overdoing it.’ Our lead doctor has worked on hundreds of dermal filler patients, and is thus very experienced when injecting Bellafill® and other volumizers.
During the treatment, no anaesthetic is required beyond the lidocaine that is already in the pre-made, branded syringes, which we get directly from the Bellafill® company (Suneva Medical).
The number of syringes that need to be injected into your skin will depend on the condition being treated. The best way to get an estimate of the length of the session is to come in for a consultation at our clinic.
How many treatments does Bellafill® require to see results?
For each area treated for wrinkles, our Vancouver Bellafill® injections can last 5 years or longer, with the possibility that you’ll need minor maintenance treatments in between, especially in the first year.
For acne scars, they can last at least 1 year. Top-up sessions for spot treatments may be needed after the first treatment. This will be based on the individual, and how well they respond to the first treatment. Some patients come in after 6 months to build on the initial foundation, and others come back after 3 to 4 years. So the time span can be wide.
Results for any Bellafill® injection are immediate, and the solution continues to work over time. The idea is to form a foundation on the first injection, and then merely build upon it over time. The more the foundation is built upon, the less frequently you’ll need to come in for additional treatments, to see results.
Remember that while Bellafill® itself is doing its job in your skin, you will continue aging. Therefore, some people choose to continue anti-aging maintenance treatments. That said, most patients who opt for this cosmetic filler don’t have to come in very often to experience its intended results.
In a 5-year study, 85% of patients were still satisfied with the outcomes of their Bellafill® injection.
Is there downtime with Bellafill® injections? What about side effects?
There isn’t very much downtime with our Vancouver Bellafill® injections. At most, you may experience some swelling, bruising or lumps in the area that has been treated. These should clear up in about a week. You should not rub your face if you experience any itching or tenderness. If you do experience these side effects, we would ask that you come to our office before trying to manipulate the injection area.
That all said, you should be able to resume all your normal activity immediately after leaving your treatment session.
If you have allergies, or are prone to scarring and bruising, you should not undergo a Bellafill® treatment. It will be important to reveal your entire health history to us during your initial consultation. This is so we can ensure the product, and procedure, is safe for you.
We also recommend not taking any blood thinners, such as pain killers, before and after treatment, to avoid bruising.
Further instructions and explanations about this product will be given to you before your first treatment session.
You must be at least 21 years old for a Bellafill® treatment.
