Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, naturally forming a scaffold of strength and structure to hold the bones, muscles, skin, and tendons together. Most of our skin is made up of collagen, and as people age the elastin and collagen fibers - which provide elasticity - become thicker and more clumped, resulting in inelastic, droopy, and brittle skin. After your twentieth birthday, your body will produce one less percent of the collagen in the skin with each passing year causing volume loss in the face, increasing the chances for wrinkles and folds to appear. The fat pads in our cheeks may slide down toward the mouth, causing the skin to wrinkle or fold, which is what creates the smile lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth.
Collagen is the answer to replenishing the face back to a youthful and smooth appearance. Bellafill is a collagen-based filler with PMMA microspheres (polymethylmethacrylate) designed to provide immediate volume below facial wrinkles and acne scars. Studies have shown results can last in patients five years post-injection. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration3 (FDA) approved the use of Bellafill for nasolabial folds (smile lines), pitted acne scars, and it can also be used as an off-label treatment for facial wrinkles. Bellafill replaces lost volume in the skin just below the wrinkles, creating a natural-looking correction.Dr. Rokhsar may recommend NYC Bellafill injections to minimize the visibility of acne scars. Patients with the most common types of acne scars, including boxcar scars, ice pick scars, rolling scar, hypertrophic and keloid scars, can be treated by injecting the collagen just below the scar and lifting it to the level of the surrounding skin for a smoother and even appearance.
The filler is comprised of 80 percent purified collagen and 20 percent PMMA microspheres. It recreates a firm matrix structure that supports your body's own collagen production. Over time, the body naturally breaks down and absorbs the collagen.
All temporary fillers are eventually absorbed by the body. That's why they require frequent repeat injections. Bellafill is different. The unique microspheres in Bellafill are not absorbed by the body. These microspheres provide the physical support your skin needs for long-lasting wrinkle correction. Now, with Bellafill, you can get the lasting wrinkle correction you want in just one or two treatments.Precautions before surgery:
