Are you a good candidate for Bellafill?
While this dermal filler is effective at smoothing out wrinkles, it may not be the best treatment option for you. Avoid using it if you are:
Positive skin test for Bellafill allergy
Have a family history of severe allergies and sensitivity
Are allergic to the previously used bovine collagen product?
Have an excessive number or thickness of scars
Are you pregnant or nursing? (although studies have not been done on nursing mothers and pregnant women).
Are there any side effects?
Mild swelling and redness at the injection site may occur, as with other injectables. Swelling, itching, and pain are also common side effects, as redness after 48 hours and, in rare cases, lumps and granulomas. Bellafill should not be injected into areas where there are sores, pimples, cysts, or infection. In this case, you should postpone the injection until you have fully recovered.
The allergy test
Due to the fact that Bellafill contains bovine collagen, I was a requirement to test Bellafill clients for allergies. This test involves injecting a small amount of collagen into the skin’s dermal layer. However, due to advancements in the purification methods, Health Canada approved using it without the skin test
Results
Bellafill has immediate and slow results; The immediate one is due to the effect of the filler, and the slow one is due to the collagen-inducing effect.
