ABOUT BELLAFILL®

Bellafill® is the latest cosmetic treatment available for adult men and women who want a long lasting wrinkle correction. It targets and corrects the nasolabial folds, also called ‘smile lines’ or ‘laugh lines’. Bellafill® is the only FDA approved dermal filler that stimulates collagen growth for long term results. Unlike other dermal fillers which dissolve after a few months, Bellafill® results last up to 5 years.* Dr. Theocharides offers the Bellafill® treatment in the privacy and comfort of his office in Ocean, New Jersey. The results are immediate and continues to add volume over time.

WHAT IS BELLAFILL®?

Bellafill® is a FDA-approved, long lasting dermal filler comprised of collagen and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres. Dr. Theocharides will inject the collagen-based dermal filler and the microspheres will stay in place and create a base that provides structural support for smoother-looking skin. Unlike other types of fillers, Bellafill® replaces collagen in the face and restructures the skin to support long lasting, natural looking results. The immediate effects of Bellafill® come from the collagen, which is absorbed by the body over time. The polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres provide enduring wrinkle correction by creating a support matrix for the body’s natural collagen.

BELLAFILL® FAQS

  • How long will the results last?

    Bellafill is a very long lasting filler. The results have been shown to last at least five years. Some people even report being satisfied with the results after eight years.

  • What are the side effects?

    As with any injectables, there will be minor side effects. These include bleeding at the injection site, minor swelling and bruising and slight skin redness.

  • Is the procedure painful?

    Each syringe of Bellafill will contain a small amount of lidocaine which will help dull most of the pain associated with the injection. If you are concerned about the pain, Dr. Theocharides can apply some numbing cream before he begins injecting you.

  • How much does Bellafill cost?

    You can’t compare the cost of Bellafill injections to temporary dermal fillers. Even though there is a higher cost for Bellafill initially, it is actually cheaper for most patients in the long run because Bellafill results last up to 5 years, where most temporary fillers last 4 or 6 months.*

  • How is Bellafill different from other fillers?

    Most dermal fillers are made of materials that are broken down and absorbed by the body, therefore, they only deliver temporary results that usually need to be retouched within a few months. Bellafill has a two part system: first, enhanced collagen in the filler delivers immediate results and is gradually absorbed by the body; meanwhile, the PMMA microspheres are not absorbed by the body, supporting the skin’s needs for long lasting results.

  • Is it safe?

    Yes. Bellafill was FDA approved in 2006 and since its launch in 2007, tens of thousands of men and women have undergone Bellafill treatment.

  • How many treatments will I need?

    Depending on the condition of your skin, you may need one to three treatments to achieve the desired results. Dr. Theocharides offers a complimentary consultation to learn more about Bellafill and find out what treatment plan will work to achieve your goals.
