Dermal fillers are becoming increasingly popular as a means to help reverse the changes associated with aging. Because the goal is to return the dermis to its original youthful state, dermal fillers can give a more natural appearance than surgical face lifts. Dermal fillers are being used to reduce or eliminate wrinkles, raise scar depressions, enhance lips, and replace soft-tissue volume loss.
As our skin ages, the dermis gradually loses its major constituents: collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Collagen acts as the major support protein for our skin, elastin allows our skin to stay firm and resist wrinkles, and hyaluronic acid helps to trap water and add volume and shape to our skin. We lose 1% of dermal collagen per year, especially over age 50. Therefore, dermal fillers became curative and preventative in the aging process with continued maintenance. Dermal fillers are not a substitute for a facelift to correct sagging skin.

Dermal fillers can improve the appearance of the following facial areas:
Smooth smile lines – nasolabial folds (the “Parentheses”)Downturned oral commisuresMarionette LinesCertain perioral linesThinner LipsPre-jowel sulcus
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which often dissolve within a few months, Bellafill® creates a lasting improvement in your skin. Its tiny, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres are suspended within a base of smooth collagen gel. Once injected, Bellafill® immediately reduces the look of smile lines. Over time, your body uses the microspheres to create a "scaffold" onto which your own collagen can develop. This collagen forms a foundation that adds volume to wrinkles, reducing their appearance. These natural-looking results feel soft and smooth through 5 years.
In the largest and longest study on injectable fillers, Bellafill® outperformed in patient satisfaction, longevity, and safety. At the study's completion, 83% of patients were still satisfied with their results 5 years after treatment.

The JUVÉDERM® collection of fillers is made from hyaluronic acid (HA). What’s interesting about HA is that it’s a natural substance in the skin that delivers nutrients, helps the skin retain moisture and softness, and adds volume. Each product in the JUVÉDERM® collection of fillers is made from a modified form of HA.
