Maintenance & Follow-Up
Ongoing plan
Bellafill is the only FDA-approved semi-permanent filler, cleared for nasolabial folds and acne scars. It pairs collagen gel with PMMA microspheres that stimulate the body's own collagen, lasting up to 5 years — much longer than hyaluronic acid fillers. Because it's not reversible, candidate selection and a skin test are required.
Bellafill is Suneva's semi-permanent dermal filler and the only one FDA-approved for long-lasting correction of both nasolabial folds and atrophic acne scars. It combines a bovine collagen gel (for immediate volume) with tiny PMMA microspheres that remain in place and provide a scaffold for the body's own collagen — producing results that can last up to 5 years, far longer than hyaluronic acid fillers.
For a practice, Bellafill is a high-value, differentiated service: the durable answer for patients tired of repeat filler visits and the rare injectable that genuinely treats acne scarring. Because it's semi-permanent and not reversible, candidate selection and a skin test are essential, which makes a careful preview of the projected result on the patient's own photo central to setting expectations and earning the commitment.

Up to 5 years, making it the longest-lasting filler available. Its PMMA microspheres remain in place and support your own collagen.
No. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Bellafill is semi-permanent and cannot be dissolved, which is why a skin test and careful candidate selection are required first.
Yes — it's FDA-approved for moderate-to-severe atrophic acne scars on the cheek, one of the few injectables cleared for this use.
