Rejuvené MD now offers Bellafill® (by Suneva). Bellafill® is a safe and effective dermal filler that stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production for long-term results. Unlike Hyaluronic Acid (HA) dermal fillers, which last 6-24 months depending on the product, Bellafill® lasts for 5+ years. It is specially formulated for smile lines and acne scars, but it can be used anywhere in the face except for lips.
Bellafill® is the only true long-term filler on the market, which means that you will have fewer injections to coordinate and pay for in the years to come.
- Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which often dissolve within a few months, Bellafill creates a lasting improvement in your skin.
- It’s the only dermal filler that gives you an immediate lift and stimulates collagen growth long term to help maintain your youthful appearance for up to 5 years.

As people age, their skin undergoes various changes that can make it difficult to maintain a youthful appearance. Wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin are some of the most common signs of aging skin. However, with the help of advanced facial fillers like Bellafill, it is now possible to achieve a more youthful look without having to undergo invasive surgeries.
At Rejuvené MD in El Paso, TX, we are proud to offer Bellafill. As a dermal filler, Bellafill stands out as a long-lasting solution for wrinkle reduction, addressing nasolabial folds, and significantly improving the appearance of acne scars.
What Is Bellafill?
At its core, Bellafill is a dermal filler, but it distinguishes itself through its unique composition. It combines a collagen base with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres. When injected, Bellafill provides immediate volume and lift thanks to its collagen content, which helps in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and nasolabial folds. Over time, the PMMA microspheres stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production, offering enduring results and enhancing the skin’s texture and firmness. The key is in the scaffolding effect of the PMMA microspheres, which (literally) provide the framework for natural collagen stimulation and proliferation. Over time, the collagen continually enhances the strength and elasticity of the skin, resulting in a smoother and more youthful-looking appearance.
In addition to lasting much longer than other dermal fillers (as well as neuromodulators like Botox), Bellafill has demonstrated its safety and efficacy in a clinical review by the University of Toronto. In the study, 212 patients (across 417 individual procedures) were treated with Bellafill and closely monitored for adverse events and self-reported satisfaction. As the finding reports, satisfaction rates for acne scar improvement was 99%, and only 1.4% of cases involved adverse events. Other intended uses of Bellafill highlighted in the study include the following:
- Nasolabial fold (laugh lines) augmentation
- Chin augmentations
- Tear trough (under-eye area) volume enhancement
- Jaw angle augmentation
- Lip augmentation
Thanks to its minimally invasive approach, long-lasting results, and wide range of applications, Bellafill is able to accommodate a wide range of patients in ways that other fillers can’t.
Benefits of Bellafill
Long-Lasting Results
Bellafill stands out in the world of dermal fillers due to its exceptional longevity. The results can last up to five years, significantly longer than many other fillers. This longevity means fewer treatments over time, providing a more convenient and cost-effective solution for maintaining a youthful appearance. How does it last so long, you might be wondering? The secret is in the PMMA microspheres, which, long after the collagen they supported has been absorbed by the body, continue to support the skin’s structure and voluminous appearance.
Immediate Improvement
Upon injection, Bellafill offers immediate improvements in the treated area. The collagen component of Bellafill provides instant volume and lift, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and folds right from the first treatment. While results are instant in one sense, there are still two considerations to consider when it comes to what you can expect over the ensuing weeks or months. First, you are likely to experience mild swelling, which can take up to a week to resolve. Also, as the collagen fibers mature and strengthen, you may notice continued improvements in the months following your non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment.
Natural Collagen Stimulation
The PMMA microspheres in Bellafill are not just fillers; they actively stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production. This leads to a gradual improvement in skin texture and firmness, offering a natural and enduring rejuvenation effect. Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the body, enhancing its elasticity and overall structure for a more naturally youthful appearance. As the body’s production of this protein begins to decline around the age of 30, stimulating it with Bellafill is an excellent anti-aging strategy.
Minimal Downtime
Unlike surgical procedures, Bellafill treatments require minimal downtime. Patients can typically resume their daily activities soon after the procedure, making it an ideal choice for those with busy lifestyles. In the vast majority of cases, routine swelling and redness resolve within one to several days, and rarely require more than a cold compress to manage in the meantime.
Safety and FDA Approval
Bellafill’s safety profile is well-established, with FDA approval for the correction of nasolabial folds and acne scars. This means we have the advantage of a robust knowledge base to work from when it comes to the safe usage, potential risks, and clinically supported applications of this non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment. At Rejuvené MD, we ensure that every Bellafill treatment adheres to the highest safety standards.
Versatility
Bellafill is versatile, effectively treating various concerns, including deep lines and wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and acne scars. Its adaptability makes it a popular choice for a wide range of patients. In addition to adding volume where it is needed, Bellafill can also be used to correct various instances of facial asymmetry, encouraging a more balanced and attractive aesthetic without giving the appearance of “having work done.”
Customizable Treatments
Each Bellafill treatment is tailored to the individual’s facial structure and aesthetic goals. This customization ensures results that are not only effective but also harmonious with each person’s unique features. The amount injected, location(s), timing and number of treatments, and even the use of other treatments to bolster Bellafill’s effects can all be integrated to customize the experience for maximum results. Our team at Rejuvené MD is not invested in cookie-cutter solutions; we are here to deliver a tailored and fulfilling experience that enhances your unique features.
Enhanced Skin Texture
Bellafill goes beyond filling wrinkles and scars; it enhances the overall texture of your skin. The increased collagen production over time contributes to smoother, more refined skin. Like its wrinkle-reducing effects, you can expect this benefit to last much longer than those of competing dermal injectables.
Non-Allergenic
Since Bellafill is made from biocompatible materials, it is non-allergenic. This makes it a safe option for individuals who might be sensitive to other types of fillers.
Minimal Invasiveness
As a non-surgical treatment, Bellafill offers a less invasive option compared to surgical facelifts. This minimally invasive nature appeals to those who prefer not to undergo surgery. This minimally invasive nature appeals to those who prefer not to undergo surgery, with the added benefit of spacing your injections out further (instead of coming in every 3-6 months).
Quick Treatment
The Bellafill treatment is relatively quick, usually completed in less than an hour. This efficiency means it can easily fit into a busy schedule.
Consistent Results
With Bellafill, patients can expect consistent and predictable results. The expertise at Rejuvené MD ensures that each treatment achieves the desired outcome, adhering to the highest standards of cosmetic care.
What to Expect From the Treatment Process
If you’ve never received Bellafill or a similar treatment before, don’t worry—our team is committed to keeping you well-informed and comfortable throughout the entire process to ensure your confidence in the treatment.
It all starts with an initial consultation, in which we will determine whether or not you are a good fit for Bellafill. This entails reviewing your overall health status and medical history (including any medications you are on or treatments you are undergoing), evaluating your presentation, and establishing your expectations of treatment. It’s important that all of these factors align, as even a medically eligible person who has expectations beyond what the treatment can provide may not be a good fit.
Once you decide to move forward with Bellafill, the treatment process is simple and intuitive. Once you are comfortably positioned, the treatment area will be cleaned and prepped. Your skin may be tested for an allergic reaction with a small test dose of Bellafill, followed by a short monitoring period. Then, the full amount will be injected along the treatment area(s). While Bellafill is already formulated with a small amount of lidocaine to help with discomfort, topical numbing agents can still be used.
How to Maximize Your Results With Bellafill
Though Bellafill is a very simple and convenient procedure that delivers consistent results, this doesn’t mean there is no investment required on your part when it comes to optimizing and maintaining your results after the fact.
Immediately following your procedure, avoiding extreme heat (saunas, hot tubs, etc.) and sunlight is recommended. Use cold compresses as directed to manage routine swelling. For at least 1-2 days, avoiding heavy activity and exercise is generally recommended. It’s also important to protect the skin from any mechanical stressors as much as possible, like restrictive clothing, headgear, or anything else that might compress or rub against the treatment area.
Finally, best practices in the long-term aftercare and maintenance department include using high-quality sunscreen consistently, following up with your provider, regularly cleansing and hydrating the skin with non-irritating products, and following general wellness and skincare practices (rest, hydration, etc.).
