OVERVIEW
Actual Bellafill® patient

Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which often dissolve within a few months, Bellafill® creates a lasting improvement in your skin. Its smooth collagen gel base houses tiny polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres. These microspheres are about the same diameter as a human hair, so it’s almost impossible to see them.
Once injected, Bellafill® immediately reduces the look of lines, wrinkles, and scars. Over time, your body uses the PMMA microspheres as a “scaffold” onto which your own collagen can develop1,2.
Now there is a better choice in dermal fillers — Bellafill®, the only 5 year filler.

In the largest and longest safety study ever conducted on dermal fillers (data on file), Bellafill® performed exceptionally well. At the study’s completion, 83% of patients were still satisfied with their results 5 years after treatment.3
Bellafill® is the only dermal filler on the market with 5 year safety and efficacy data. Its satisfaction data and safety profile is unmatched, making it one of the safest fillers on the market to date.
As with other injectable fillers, you may experience bruising, itching, pain, swelling, redness, discoloration, lumpiness, bumps, acne, or increased sensitivity at the treatment site. These side effects usually resolve themselves quickly.

Your Questions: Acne ScarsWhat treatment options currently exist for acne scars?Topical treatments, chemical peels, dermabrasion, microneedling, and laser resurfacing are among the current available treatment options for acne scars. However, these treatments may be associated with significant downtime. It can also take a significant amount of time before their results are visible -- and they often lack rigorous, controlled data to support their safety or efficacy.
Bellafill® is the only filler that’s approved by the FDA to treat acne scars. It offers a new hope and treatment choice to millions of Americans affected by this skin condition.
Is Bellafill® safe?Yes, Bellafill® is the only dermal filler that’s FDA approved for the correction of moderate to severe atrophic, distensible facial acne scars on the cheek in patients over 21 years of age. Bellafill® has been proven to provide both immediate and lasting results in rigorous clinical studies that demonstrated effectiveness, safety, and high rates of patient satisfaction.
How frequently do you have to get injected with Bellafill®? What is the upkeep?Bellafill® is a lasting solution. In a clinical study on acne scarring, safety and effectiveness was demonstrated through 12 months. In a separate clinical study on nasolabial folds (smile lines), its safety and effectiveness was established through 5 years. Your licensed provider can give you the best recommendations on how Bellafill® can be used to achieve optimal results.
Does Bellafill® only treat facial acne scars?In the U.S., Bellafill® is also approved for the correction of smile lines through 5 years. In a recent clinical study, 83% of Bellafill® patients were still satisfied with their results 5 years after treatment3,4.

The Origin of Acne Scars
Acne scarring starts with aggressive acne inflammation.
The inflammation can lead to irregular healing and loss of collagen, which is a key structural component of skin. This can result in a sunken scar and an uneven skin surface.

Know Your Scars
Acne scars come in several shapes and sizes, but Bellafill® is best for rolling scars.
Note: all acne scar types may be present in one patient.
Deep and narrow pitting of the skin.
Sharp vertical edges with a wide base.
3 TYPES OF ATROPHIC ACNE SCARS5
ICEPICK (Narrow)
ROLLING (Wide)
BOXCAR (Narrow to wide)
Soft shoulders and rounded saucer-like shape.
Bellafill® works best on distensible (which means they disappear when stretched), depressed scars with soft edges. Your licensed provider can help you determine if Bellafill® can offer you the results you want.
Distensible scars Smooths when stretched
Bellafill® is only for correction of distensible, rolling acne scars. To determine if a scar is appropriate for correction, pull the surrounding skin taut. If the skin appears normal when stretched, then it is a distensible scar, and may be optimal for treating with Bellafill® .

62% of patients concerned about noticeable acne scars have consulted a doctor or other healthcare professional at some time.4 Until recently, the treatment options for reducing scarring, such as microneedling, laser and light therapies, were limited.

Results are both immediate and lasting, improving your sense of personal confidence.

Patients who have had a positive reaction to the Bellafill® Skin Test, have a history of severe allergies, have known bovine collagen allergies, are allergic to lidocaine, have bleeding disorders or are prone to thick scar formation and/or excessive scarring should not receive Bellafill.® The safety of Bellafill® for use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or in patients under 21 has not been established. You may experience temporary swelling, redness, pain, bruising, lumps/bumps, itching, and discoloration at the treatment site.

Infrequently, granulomas may occur and may be treated by your licensed physician provider.
