Acne scars from teenage years stay with some throughout their lives, affecting a good chunk of the population and making millions of women apply dense layers of makeup to their face. It’s a constant reminder of one’s age and a source of regret for not taking care of acne when it was active. Now there’s a solution, thanks to an FDA approval, that can purportedly fill in those scars and smooth out the skin to look young and fresh.
The Bellafill product is a mixture of purified bovine collagen and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres. The collagen puffs up the area where it’s injected, while the microspheres provide a structure within which naturally produced collagen can gather. In time, the injected collagen is replaced by the patient’s own, providing natural long-term results. The product has a proven safety record, having been approved for treating nasolabial folds, or smile lines, since 2006.
