WHAT IS RESTYLANE®?

It’s fast-acting and will help smooth out the wrinkles that have appeared in certain areas on your face. Depending on the results you’re looking for and the area treated, you may be recommended a specific type of Restylane® filler.
Bellafill in Reston VA – Long-Lasting Beauty at WellMedica
At WellMedica in Reston, VA, Dr. Dima Ali provides a wide range of cosmetic and anti-aging treatments that help patients look and feel their best. One standout option for individuals seeking long-lasting facial rejuvenation is Bellafill — a unique dermal filler designed to deliver results that last far beyond traditional injectables.
What is Bellafill?
Bellafill (previously branded as Artefill) is an FDA-approved, biocompatible dermal filler known for its long-lasting results in wrinkle correction and acne scar treatment. Unlike many other fillers that are absorbed by the body within a few months, Bellafill contains microspheres that remain in the skin, providing enduring support for smoother, firmer skin.
How Bellafill Works
The secret to Bellafill’s extended results lies in its dual-action formula:
- Collagen Gel Matrix: Provides immediate volume and lift upon injection.
- Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Microspheres: These non-resorbable microspheres stimulate your body’s natural collagen production while maintaining structure over time.
This unique composition makes Bellafill in Reston VA a top choice for those seeking a solution that goes beyond short-term fixes.
Why Choose Bellafill in Reston VA?
There are several compelling reasons patients in Reston, VA choose Bellafill at WellMedica:
1. Lasts Up to 5 Years
While most fillers require repeat sessions every 6–12 months, Bellafill offers visible improvements for up to five years. This makes it one of the longest-lasting dermal fillers on the market.
2. Great for Smile Lines & Acne Scars
Bellafill is FDA-approved to treat:
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines): These deep lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth are softened significantly.
- Atrophic acne scars: Bellafill helps raise depressed acne scars for a smoother skin surface.
3. Minimally Invasive, Quick Treatment
Treatments typically take 30 minutes or less with minimal downtime. Most patients return to regular activities the same day.
4. Backed by Proven Safety
With over a decade of clinical research and use in aesthetic medicine, Bellafill has a strong safety profile when administered by experienced professionals like Dr. Dima at WellMedica.

WHAT IS RESTYLANE®?
At WellMedica, we offer a great variety of choices in this category of aesthetic dermatology that is gaining so much attraction. Restylane® is a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based on a natural substance, called hyaluronic acid. Restylane® helps rejuvenate and smooth wrinkles, plump the cheeks, lessen nasolabial folds, and reduce fine lines around the tear trough area, mouth, and lips. Achieving the look you desire is as easy as it is quick. No previous skin test is needed.
The Restylane® family of products include Restylane®, Restylane-L®, Restylane® Lyft with Lidocaine, Restylane® Silk, Restylane® Kysse, Restylane® Refyne, Restylane® Defyne, and Restylane® Contour.
IS IT RIGHT FOR ME?
Restylane® is good for patients who don’t mind repeat procedures. If they are afraid of a bad result, Restylane® can be dissolved or will go away on its own by time. It is important to be realistic about what the filler can achieve, knowing that fillers cannot stop permanent signs of aging within the face. It can only improve a person’s appearance rather than dramatically alter it. Many Restylane® filler options are available here at WellMedica.
HOW MANY SYRINGES WILL I NEED?
The number of syringes you will need for your treatment using the Restylane® family of products will depend greatly on your age, the volume loss in the area being treated, and your desired results. The first thing that’s going to dramatically impact the amount of filler you need is how big of a change you need or want to achieve your desired look. Generally, the older you get, the more filler you need to correct age-related changes.
HOW MUCH DOES RESTYLANE® COST?
The cost of Restylane® starts at $650 - $900 per syringe. This can really vary widely based on the type of Restylane® filler you and Dr. Dima choose to use to achieve your desired results. To ensure that your filler procedure is affordable, we accept a variety of payment methods including special financing plans.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT BEFORE AND AFTER TREATMENT?
Restylane® requires no pre-testing, but you should take a few precautions before being treated. Before any Restylane® injections, it is recommended to:
- Avoid the use of Aspirin, NSAIDS, ginkgo biloba, garlic supplements, green tea, flax oil, cod liver oil, vitamins A and E, and essential fatty acids for up to 1 week pre- and post-injection, as they will increase your risk of bruising.
- Do not drink alcoholic beverages 24 hours before (or after) your treatment to avoid extra bruising. You may take Arnica tablets 2-3 days prior to your injection to reduce the risk of bruising.
- Do not apply products that are potentially irritating for 2 -3 days before and after treatment, including tretinoin/Retin-A, glycolic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and hydroquinone.
- Inform Dr. Dima if you have a history of cold sores to receive advice on antiviral therapy prior to treatment.
- Inform Dr. Dima and her staff if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or are allergic to any of its ingredients.
Immediately after the treatment, you can expect slight redness, swelling, tenderness, and an itching sensation in the treated area. This is a normal result of the injections. This discomfort is temporary and generally disappears in a few days. When it comes to lip augmentation, swelling may last longer. Some patients experience swelling for about a week.
IS IT SAFE?
Yes, Restylane®'s collection of dermal fillers is FDA-approved and completely safe for almost everyone. As long as you are over the age of 21, are not taking blood thinners, pregnant or breastfeeding, and haven’t been reactive to injectables in the past, Restylane® will be safe for you. The main ingredient in the Restylane® family, hyaluronic acid, is a sugar that is naturally found in the human body.
TESTIMONIALS
What a thorough doctor! She did not rush our time and made sure to listen to everything I had to say. I was so impressed and I am glad that she was listed here on real self. I have gotten fillers before at other places and they assess you in what seems to be 5 minutes. She is no BS. She knows her stuff and took time with me and listened. REALLY LISTENED! Just had to make an account so I could give my appreciation. Will definitely be back.
Thank you Dr. Dima Ali!
