Is it true that Bellafill only lasts 5 years?

This refers to the amount of time Bellafill works to stimulate the body to produce collagen. However, keep in mind, a combination approach is needed for acne scars. Acne scars need a combination of lasers, microneedling/prp, subcision and fillers. It may take a series of treatments, and may need life-long treatments to maintain. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an acne scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer 

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!
