Bellafill Rancho Mirage

What is the Procedure for Bellafill?

New patients for a Bellafill Rancho Mirage procedure should take an allergy test on an arm a month before their first injection.

The allergy test is recommended based on the fact that Bellafill is composed of 80 percent bovine (cow) collagen. Once you are injected, your body absorbs the collagen which will help to smooth your smile lines for up to five years and/or treat your acne scars for up to a year.

What to Expect

• An allergy test is recommended a month prior to your first injection to see what kind of reaction you will have to Bellafill, which is 80 percent bovine collagen
• Bellafill is injected into your skin with an ultrafine needle
• The collagen and PMMA stimulates your body to generate your own natural collagen
• This fills in facial wrinkles or smile lines for up to five years
• The ingredients are non-resorbable meaning they will not be absorbed into your body

Am I a candidate for Bellafill?

The best candidates for Bellafill Palm Springs are people who are not allergic to lidocaine, PMMA, or bovine collagen.

Pregnant women, people with have a positive reaction to the allergic skin test or have a history of allergies or hypersensitivity or a tendency for thick scar formation should avoid Bellafill.
