New Permanent Filler Bellafill in Santa Barbara

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , /by
Dermal fillers are one of the most common and popular aesthetic treatments done worldwide. Restylane, Restylane Lyft (formerly Perlane), Juvederm, Voluma and Radiesse are some of the well-known fillers available today. Fillers are used to restore volume to an aging face, correct imperfections such as acne scars and wrinkles, and are also used to enhance features (cheeks, lips, jawline). The result of a filler treatment is seen instantaneously and last 6 months or more. The drawback of most fillers are that they are not permanent.
The good news is that there is a new permanent injectable filler – Bellafill – now available in the USA and at our Cosmetic Surgery Center practice.
What is Bellafill and how does it work?
Bellafill is composed of a collagen “carrier” and PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) microspheres. The collagen immediately adds volume to the skin for correction while the PMMA microspheres create a matrix that supports your body’s own collagen production in the skin for lasting improvement.
Is Bellafill safe?
Bellafill has been proven safe through 5 years for correction of nasolabial folds or smile lines in the largest and longest prospective dermal filler study ever completed.
What do people have to say about Bellafill?
In a consumer survey, 91% of patients were likely to recommend Bellafill. In a 5-year-post-approval study, 83% of patients said they were “satisfied to very satisfied” with their correction at the end of 5 years.

For those of us who are unhappy with the signs of aging that have popped up over the years, but are hesitant to make any surgical changes Santa Barbara cosmetic surgeon Dr. Terry Perkins provides alternative options. At Cosmetic Surgery Center Santa Barbara, Dr. Perkins performs various cosmetic surgeries, as well as providing non-invasive treatments using dermal fillers to reverse the signs of aging and anti-wrinkle treatments (such as Botox and Dysport). Dr. Perkins can perform these non-invasive anti-aging procedures in his Santa Barbara office.

Dermal fillers are designed to be injected into the skin to diminish the appearance of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. They can also be used to correct depressions in the skin, scarring, and other skin imperfections. Dr. Perkins believes in tailoring the procedure to the clients’ personal needs. That is why he offers a variety of dermal fillers including Restylane, Perlane, Radiesse, and Juvederm. Results are instantaneous and can last from six months to a year or more. Dr. Perkins has also developed a non-surgical face lift using a unique “layering” technique of dermal fillers that can take 10 years off your face. This exciting procedure is called the Layered Liquid Lift and only takes about 90 minutes. Watch videos and see results of a Layered Liquid Lift by Dr. Perkins!

Anti-wrinkle treatments such as Botox or Dysport treat overactive muscles that contract to form wrinkles and are a great option for reducing the wrinkles on your forehead or around the eyes. Botox or Dypsort are FDA approved and the results typically last 3 to 4 months.
