What to Expect?
A month before your Bellafill® procedure, you must have your skin tested for allergies. If your skin shows no adverse reactions in a month, you may schedule your procedure. The skin is cleaned, and your doctor injects the filler under your wrinkles or folds.
Bellafill® contains lidocaine, an anesthetic, so the procedure is not painful. There is no downtime, and side effects are rare thanks to pre-testing. Side effects can include mild bruising and redness, which typically subsides in a few days. Most patients require two treatments, which can be scheduled 3-6 weeks apart. Before receiving Bellafill®, patients will undergo a thorough evaluation with a healthcare professional to determine if they are a good candidate for the treatment. The healthcare professional will also discuss the treatment's risks, benefits, and potential side effects to help the patient make an informed decision.
