Bellafill Lasting for 5 Years?

  Hi and thank you for your question! Bellafill is know as the "5-year filler" as in the landmark study used in getting the FDA approval, patients were followed up for 5 years and significant results were seen in many. Being a stimulatory filler, it is quite likely that some patients continue to see results lasting way beyond 5 years, although individual results may vary. If you are looking for a long-lasting filler for issues such as scar treatment, Bellafill is a very good choice. I hope is helps and good luck!
