Reduce Acne Scarring, Facial Scarring,
Facial Lines & Folds
in Santa Rosa, CA
Over time, men and women experience visible signs of facial aging and are bothered by the smile lines that have deepened with age and make them look older than they feel.
Many facial injectable patients have tried a variety of the advanced dermal fillers available but are seeking an injectable filler that has enduring results. Now, there is an alternative!
Bellafill is a long-lasting injectable dermal filler that uses collagen and collagen producing microspheres to improve acne scars, facial scars, lines, and folds.*
What is remarkable about Bellafill is that it is the only dermal filler that’s FDA-approved to smooth smile lines for up to five years and treat acne scars for one year.* The lengthy results are due to the addition of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres in the collagen gel that forms a type of structure to support your natural production of collagen and maintain facial volume.
Dr. Greg Chernoff is a certified injection specialist and an initial user of Bellafill. Ask Dr. Chernoff and his aesthetic staff if Bellafill will address your facial concerns.
What is Bellafill?
Bellafill is FDA-approved for the correction of facial wrinkles known as nasolabial folds, or smile lines, and the correction of moderate-to-severe facial acne scars on the cheek in patients over the age of 21 years.
Bellafill is different than other facial fillers as it uses a blend of 2 compounds (micron polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres) that works in two ways:
- Collagen provides volume below scars, lines, or folds to lift them to the level of the surrounding skin
- Collagen inducing microspheres trigger your body’s own collagen production which creates long-lasting improvement*
Once injected, it adds volume below wrinkles or atrophic acne scars to lift them to the level of surrounding skin and produces younger-looking skin which is visible directly following treatment.*
How Is Bellafill Injected?
Dr. Chernoff and his certified Nurse Injectors have extensive experience treating patients with collagen injections, as well as, all other types of injections, and combination treatments. Dr. Chernoff has been an early adopter of all types of treatments. He works closely with the scientists who develop the treatments giving him experience with the products and knowledge of how they work.
Is Bellafill Safe?
Bellafill has been FDA-approved since 2006 as the first non-resorbable injectable wrinkle filler to address smile lines and in 2015 received an expanded FDA-approval for acne scars and other types of scars. Bellafill is proven safe and effective in one of the longest and largest dermal filler studies ever.
Prior to any treatment or procedure, Dr. Chernoff or one of our trained and certified healthcare providers determine if you are a candidate, review the risk and benefits, and provide all possible treatment alternatives.
What Results Can I Expect?
Your body gradually absorbs HA fillers while the majority of Bellafill does not absorb. That means Bellafill lasts much longer than HA fillers. The appearance of your acne scars and facial scars will fade with results that may last up to one year and your smile lines, and facial folds will be filled in and your skin will appear to be voluminous with results that may last up to 5 years.*
