Collagen & Filler Fatigue Collagen stimulation addresses filler fatigue
Bellafill provides immediate and long-lasting correction by stimulating your own natural collagen.
Facial Aging
Youthful skin is soft, supple, smooth, well-hydrated, and rich with cells that renew relatively rapidly. As we age, we experience a loss of facial glands, which results in less oil produced, contributing to less moisture in the skin. We lose collagen and elastin, which can lead to the formation of dynamic wrinkles like laugh lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. Repeated facial movement eventually causes dynamic wrinkles to become static lines that are etched into the skin over time.
Additionally, sagging can occur because skin is no longer able to bounce back as it did in our youth.
What Happens to Our Skin When We Age
As we age, the cells in the skin diminish their ability to produce collagen, resulting in skin that is weaker and thinner (lower volume). Agents that stimulate collagen production replenish the skin and promote a stronger, younger appearance.
What typically happens at each decade
20’s - We begin to see temporary, fine lines appear around expressive areas like the eyes and lips.
30’s - Collagen and elastin production sharply decline, which makes skin less resilient, causing fine lines to become more visible even at rest.
40’s - Skin elasticity continues to decline. Collagen and volume loss under the skin cause sagging and deeper folds and wrinkles to appear.
50’s and beyond - Fine lines and folds worsen. The once heart-shaped face has been flipped upside down, creating jowls and sunken cheeks. Sun-damaged skin develops age spots and mottled pigmentation. Oil-producing glands become less active, and the skin becomes dry and fragile.
Collagen – Essential Protein for a Youthful Appearance
Collagen is the main structural protein in the skin. It makes up one-third of the protein in the human body and gives the skin its elasticity and strength, contributing to a youthful appearance. Collagen is found in a number of products, from serums and moisturizers to injections.
Bellafill stimulates both Type I and Type III collagen for long-lasting correction.
What is Filler Fatigue?
Patients are demanding a longer-lasting filler because of “filler fatigue.” Filler fatigue refers to the feeling of frustration that comes from having to return frequently to maintain a youthful appearance. A reputed Harris Poll survey revealed that out of the 9 million dermal filler patients in the U.S. at the time of the survey, this phenomenon affected 8 million patients. Many of these patients were impacted by the time, pain, and cost of regular and ongoing filler injections – impacts Bellafill is designed to alleviate.

Patients Demand Longer-Lasting Fillers
More than two in three users also claimed that their fillers don’t last as long as they used to, with 82% of aesthetic patients wanting a long term filler1. The top reason for not getting fillers as often as they would like is the cost of ongoing maintenance (56%). Bellafill eliminates the need for frequent injections, provides greater value, and saves time!
