The FDA Approved Acne Scar Filler

“I don’t want to wait any longer to do something about these scars. What CAN I do?!”

We hear you. Acne and the scars left behind leave an indelible mark. Not only do the scars remind you of a miserable time in your life, but the scars themselves make you miserable.

Filler Use for Scars

Fillers have been used “off label” for years with varying degrees of success; among them Juvederm and Radiesse. It was only in 2015 that a “permanent” filler was approved for filling acne scars. Bellafill has 5 year studies proving longevity so the filler is deemed long-lasting. Practical theory leads us to understand that the filler effect will last indefinitely with occasional top-off injections as your body naturally loses its collagen regeneration capacity over the years.

Bellafill contains both collagen and microscopic spheres. The collagen offers immediate improvement and the non-degradable spheres remain to stimulate your body’s own new collagen to retain the smoothing and fill.

Bellafill does require a sensitivity test prior to your treatment.
