Earlier this year the FDA approved Bellafill, the first injectable that claims to last safely for five years. With the much more popular hyaluronic acid fillers, people have to go in every six to nine months, which can be tiresome and expensive.

It also temporarily expands the volume of the targeted area, making fat cells easier to remove. Small-diameter probes are then inserted into the body through small incisions. By resonating…
