Nasolabial folds, also known as smile lines, are some of the most frustrating types of creases that develop as we age. At Arizona Facial Plastics, board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Farhan Taghizadeh, recommends BellaFill® for men and women in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and nearby areas of Arizona who want to soften smile lines.
BellaFill® is a dermal filler that stimulates collagen production to soften smile lines, as well as reduce acne scars. Collagen is one of the most valuable proteins in the human body, and it gives the skin structure and resilience. As we age, our bodies lose more collagen than what is produced naturally, and this is how we develop nasolabial folds around the nose and mouth. BellaFill® contains microspheres of polymethyl methacrylate in a gel. These microspheres not only give the skin an immediate lift but also trigger collagen production. Over time, the microspheres are absorbed by the body, leaving behind new collagen.
Dr. Taghizadeh performs all BellaFill® treatments for his patients who want long-lasting results to soften smile lines and other types of wrinkles, or who want their acne scars to be less noticeable. BellaFill® is injected into the skin at a specific depth to maximize the outcome of the treatment. You may feel a slight prick on your skin as the needle is inserted. Otherwise, the treatment is quite comfortable.
You can return to your normal activities after the injections – no downtime is required. Some patients experience temporary swelling, redness, pain, bruising, lumps, bumps, itching or discoloration of the skin near the injection sites. Keep in mind that these symptoms are usually temporary and last one to seven days.
We pride ourselves on offering the latest cosmetic technologies and procedures. I am constantly in contact with some of the biggest aesthetic companies in the country to find out what new devices are coming out so that we can help you look your best. I have extensive cosmetic surgery training, and I have performed over 3,500 facelifts. My goal is to meet you where you are – whether you are noticing sun damage or are tired of looking 15 years older than you feel-together we can find a way to bring that spark back to your life!I completed my ENT training at the University of Rochester in 2004. To further deepen my understanding of the face, I did a facial plastic surgery fellowship in Switzerland (where I also developed a love of chocolate!). These experiences gave me an in-depth understanding of head and neck structures, an understanding that I use and refine every day to help you achieve the outcome you seek.
MEET DR. T Meet Our TeamThis was my second time getting fillers but the first time getting them done at Arizona Facial Plastics. My experience here was so much better as well as my results! Alex made me feel so comfortable! She was very informative with the product as well as what she was going to do and my after care. I would highly recommend them for any injections!
Men and women in the Phoenix area love BellaFill® treatments at Arizona Facial Plastic because the results last up to five years for wrinkles and one year for acne scars. This does vary by patient, and we recommend follow-up appointments with Dr. Taghizadeh so he can monitor your progress and determine when additional injections are needed to maintain the results.
