What Exactly is Bellafill?
FDA-approved Bellafill is the longest-lasting dermal filler on the market, filling deep facial creases, adding facial volume, and correcting acne scars. And results can for up to 5 years! This collagen-based injectable filler is filled with tiny polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres that stimulate additional collagen production in addition to creating volume. The prolonged production of collagen is initiated by the PMMA microspheres, which act as an internal structural system for the new, healthy collagen fibers. [1]
Bellafill’s special formulation adds immediate volume and helps your body create and keep its own natural volume!
Bellafill Treatment for Acne Scars
We’re not sure if there is anything more frustrating than finally winning the battle against acne only to be left with unsightly acne scars. One thing is for sure though, there are many people who have gone through this battle. One of the unique things about Bellafill is its FDA approval for treating acne scars. Bellafill is actually the first acne-treating medical device that is FDA-approved. [2] Bellafill can be carefully injected into recessed or “atrophic” acne scars to fill out the sunken area. It’s a game changer for those who wished they had a smoother complexion.
Whether you are looking to smooth nasolabial folds or acne scars, or both, call our Portland office at (503) 505-5288 and see if Bellafill is right for you.
What Makes Bellafill Special?
Bellafill is a permanent multiuse injectable dermal filler, but the two main points that set this filler apart from the rest are its longevity and its use for acne scars. Bellafill has been studied and proven to last at least 5 years, the longest lasting results of all the dermal fillers currently on the market. [3] In fact, it’s categorized as a permanent filler due to the length of its results. [2] Need we say more? It is the only FDA-approved dermal filler for acne scar treatment. [4] Bellafill injections are quick, and helps patients achieve numerous aesthetic goals.

Who would benefit from Bellafill injections you ask? Bellafill is ideal for women and men who are seeking a non-surgical option for facial rejuvenation. Those looking into Bellafill will want a long-term solution for one or more of the following aesthetic areas of concern:
